Jey Uso has looked back on the moment he shared with John Cena after emerging victorious in the Royal Rumble match.
The closing moments of the Men’s Rumble match saw Cena and Uso fight it out to see who would advance to a World Championship match at WrestleMania. With this being Cena’s last Rumble and the 16-time World Champion being the odds-on favourite to win the Rumble, many assumed that it was only a matter of time before Uso was eliminated from the match.
However, in one of the most surprising results in years, Jey Uso shoved Cena off the apron to win the match for the first time in his career. With over 70,000 fans Yeeting with Uso to celebrate the victory, Cena made his way back into the ring to celebrate with Uso.
Embracing and acknowledging the winner, Cena was seen saying something to Uso as the celebrations continued. While appearing on the Nightcap podcast, Uso revealed what Cena said to him that night:
“He came in the ring. I thought I was about to have to do it one more time, throw his ass out one more time. I’m just kidding. He said, ‘Hey, man.’ He hugged me. He goes, ‘Hey, uce. I remember your first tour. I said, I always told you and your brother, ‘You guys will be fine. Be yourself.’ He goes, ‘Look at these people now.’ That’s when he turned me to the crowd, and they’re just [yeeting], they’re just hitting it, man. Yeah, man. Love for John Cena. He’s a GOAT, man.”
What’s Next For John Cena?
With Cena unable to win the Rumble match for a third time, the Hollywood star will have to find a different path to WrestleMania, where he hopes to win the World Championship and break the company record. Following the Royal Rumble, John Cena confirmed that he would be in action at the WWE Elimination Chamber.
