Just weeks after supposedly quitting WWE and being moved to the company’s Alumni section, Jey Uso is back as the newest member of the Monday Night RAW roster! The former Bloodline member made his return during WWE Payback and was Cody Rhodes’ surprise announcement during his appearance on The Grayson Waller Effect.
Waller attempted to grill Rhodes about his huge announcement but The American Nightmare cut him off. The former AEW Executive Vice President claimed he had seen some injustice on SmackDown recently and afterward, used what leverage he had to ensure it was rectified before bringing the returning Uso brother to the ring.
Waller seemed stunned at Jey’s sudden appearance but quickly began taunting the eight-time tag team champion over his break-up with The Bloodline and his lack of success as a singles star. Uso retorted with a sudden Superkick and silenced the Australian star as he celebrated his return to the company with the Pittsburgh crowd.
Uso last competed at SummerSlam last month where he unsuccessfully challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship thanks to the betrayal of his brother Jimmy. On the following SmackDown, Jimmy attempted to reconcile with his brother by explaining his actions but Jey tried to walk away and eventually hit a Superkick on Jimmy before announcing he was leaving both SmackDown and WWE as a whole.
