Jey Uso Exits WWE After Explosive “SmackDown” Showdown: Freddie Prinze Jr. Lauds His Performance
In an unprecedented turn of events during last Friday’s “WWE SmackDown,” Jey Uso emphatically declared his departure from the elite faction, The Bloodline, as well as from WWE. This climactic decision came on the heels of a fiery confrontation with his twin, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa, and the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.
High Praise from Freddie Prinze Jr.
While the dramatic exit garnered attention from fans and industry insiders alike, former WWE writer and acclaimed actor Freddie Prinze Jr. was particularly impressed. Commenting on Jey’s walkout during his podcast, “Wrestling With Freddie”, Prinze extolled, “Jey, just his walkout is electric. Like, his eyes dart back and forth. The pacing is almost cat-like. His hands grabbing his face because his face is uncomfortable. He doesn’t know if he wants to laugh or scream. Just the walkout and he’s over. It’s crazy. I’ve said this before, he’d be the worst poker player ever. You know exactly what he’s thinking.”
The Catalyst: SummerSlam Incident
To fully understand Jey’s emotional and charged departure, one has to rewind to the pivotal Tribal Combat match against Reigns at SummerSlam. Jimmy inadvertently sabotaged Jey’s chances by yanking him under the bottom rope and executing a superkick. This act not only cost Jey the match but also sowed the seeds of discord within The Bloodline.
In the “SmackDown” episode in question, as Reigns and Sikoa occupied the ring, Jimmy made a heartfelt attempt to justify his actions from SummerSlam. He passionately argued that his interference was motivated by genuine concern and love. However, this explanation fell on deaf ears. In a shocking twist, Jey not only rebuffed his brother’s justification but also retaliated against all three men, culminating in his resounding declaration that he had reached his breaking point with WWE.
Jey Uso’s WWE Status
In the aftermath of the tumultuous “SmackDown” showdown, the speculation regarding Jey Uso’s WWE future has been rampant. Lending credence to the authenticity of his exit, Jey’s profile was promptly transferred to the alumni section under the Superstars tab on WWE.com.
Jey Uso’s startling departure from WWE and The Bloodline has left a void and an array of questions. As fans grapple with this new reality, they can’t help but wonder about the next chapter in Jey’s wrestling career. Will he truly stay away from the squared circle, or is this just another compelling storyline awaiting its next twist? Only time will tell.
Regardless of the outcome, Jey Uso’s emotional exit, which has drawn praise from the likes of Freddie Prinze Jr., will undoubtedly go down in WWE history as one of the most memorable moments.
