Monday Night Rumble: Jey Uso’s Tumultuous Transition to Raw

Following his divisive transition from WWE SmackDown to Monday Night Raw, Jey Uso is sparking more controversy than alliances in the locker room. This past Monday, a tag-team match with Kevin Owens against The Judgment Day escalated into hostility after Uso inadvertently struck his own ally and clashed with Scottish superstar, Drew McIntyre.

The tension further escalated backstage in the aftermath of Uso’s skirmish. As he walked off the animosity of his earlier face-off with Owens, he crossed paths with McIntyre, who had just celebrated a triumphant win over Xavier Woods. This was their second encounter since Uso’s eventful Raw debut last week, where eye contact had sparked tension.

The confrontation was laced with caution and taunt. McIntyre voiced his mistrust in Uso, catalyzed by suspicions over his ability to hold his ground solo, after years of teaming up with his brother Jimmy in The Bloodline. This skeptical sentiment echoed loudly, particularly since Dominik Mysterio had earlier stirred the pot, when addressing Cody Rhodes, mentioning Uso’s probable alliance with The Judgment Day roster.

Smoldering from Mcintyre’s skepticism, Uso shot back with a challenge for a one-on-one in the ring next week, a proposition met with swift agreement from the Scottish superstar. Thus, the stage is set for Uso versus McIntyre next week at Monday Night Raw in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Jey Uso, once a cornerstone of The Bloodline, now stands on uncertain shores. Will he crumble under McIntyre’s onslaught or rise to the occasion and reestablish his status in the wrestling world? Only the square circle can reveal the answer in the coming week.
