He witnessed a meteoric rise in 2024 with his YEET movement and carried on the momentum in 2025. At WrestleMania 41, he proved all his doubters wrong and made his arch rival, Gunther, submit to the sleeper hold to win his first-ever World Heavyweight Championship.
The YEET is now on top of the RAW mountain and already has challengers like Logan Paul waiting for their opportunity to take the title away from him.
With a huge target on his back now, here are three blockbuster title matches Jey Uso can have as the World Heavyweight Champion:
3. Jimmy Uso
In 2024, WWE witnessed an epic feud between the real-life brothers and accomplished tag team, The Usos.
Jimmy and Jey Uso went up against each other and squared off in a huge showdown at WrestleMania 40. Despite a spectacular build-up and hype around the bout, it was heavily panned by fans and critics alike. The brothers could redeem themselves with another match, but this time, it could be for the World Heavyweight title. With the stakes raised, a title match between Jey and Jimmy Uso could be a highly compelling bout at a major WWE PLE, and can even headline the show.
2. Cody Rhodes
Jey Uso and
Cody Rhodes
share a close bond as friends in WWE and have even reigned as the WWE Tag Team Champions at one point in their careers. Moreover, Uso was also close to picking Rhodes as his WrestleMania 41 opponent, but ultimately chose Gunther. The American Nightmare has not been seen on WWE TV since losing his World title to John Cena at the show. So he could change his direction and head to RAW to challenge the YEET man for his championship at a huge WWE show.

. Uso battled on a couple of occasions but came up short each time. However, a future bout between the Samoans, but this time, with Jey Uso defending the World title, it could be a huge showdown and could possibly see the YEET man pick up the win over The OTC.

If I continue at full physical involvement, I'm not going to run right. My partner's not gonna run right. Our relationship isn't gonna run right. Sorry, kid, it's time to close this chapter.'

But I don't feel more at home, besides in the arms of my wife, than I do on the canvas,' he added.
