Jey Uso announced as newest member of WWE Raw roster

Jey Uso is back in WWE, this time as part of the Raw roster. 

Uso returned to WWE at Saturday’s Payback pay-per-view and was introduced by Cody Rhodes as the newest member of the Raw roster during a Grayson Waller Effect talk show segment. 

After being introduced by Rhodes, Uso had a brief interaction with Waller where Waller taunted him, ending with Uso laying Waller out with a superkick. Rhodes was a special guest of Waller’s on the Grayson Waller Effect, and noted that he had asked to be on the segment to make the announcement of Jey’s return.

Uso made his way down to the ring as fans cheered him on. Uso and Rhodes stopped at ringside to stare at each other, then they shared a nod of respect as Rhodes kept walking up the ramp, and Uso made his way into the ring to pose for fans in the opposite corners. Waller cut the music and joked about being unprepared for the interview. Waller went on and said as successful as Uso was in a tag team with brother Jimmy Uso, he’s accomplished nothing on his own. Waller continued with subtle shots at Uso and commented that Jey really needs The Grayson Waller Rub. Uso suddenly reacted with a superkick to lay Waller out while Rhodes watched from the stage.

Uso’s music started back up as he played to the crowd for a big pop. Uso kept posing in the corners and on the ropes to a loud ovation. Rhodes watched from the stage in approval to end the segment.

On-screen authority figure Adam Pearce later posted on social media that Jey’s move to Raw was “official.”
