Jey Uso’s transition to a babyface following his departure from The Bloodline has been a significant development in his WWE career. With his newfound momentum as a singles star, WWE plans to spotlight his entrance regularly now, especially after his success at WWE Backlash.
At the WWE Backlash Premium Live Event, Jey Uso challenged Damian Priest for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. While he lost the match, fans in France had a ton of fun doing the wave during his entrance and it became one of the most iconic fan moments of all time.
According to Fightful Select, the reaction from the crowd during Jey Uso’s entrance in Lyon, France, particularly with fans using their phone flashlights to mimic his signature Yeet taunt has caught the attention of WWE. It was noted that WWE production members have acknowledged the incredible reception Uso received and are planning to capitalize on it.
WWE intends to heavily promote and encourage fans to replicate the Lyon crowd’s reaction during Jey Uso’s entrances in future events. This means that the lighting will continue to be dimmed during his entrances, creating an atmosphere that’ll help fans take part in the entrance more. It was added that any instances of Uso’s theme being played in mainstream media will be showcased on television to further emphasize his popularity and connection with the audience.
Fans even vibed to Jey Uso’s entrance theme during a recent NBA playoff game as well. Uso’s connection with fans is simply undeniable right now, so we’ll have to see how things turn out for him in the coming weeks as he’s already part of the King of The Ring tournament.
