Jey Uso has emerged as a leading figure in WWE over the last year, capturing the Royal Rumble victory and the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40. A Hall of Famer has identified a 37-year-old wrestler as the potential next Main Event Jey and the breakout talent to watch, pointing to parallels between their career trajectory and Jey’s rise.
Recently on RAW, The Kabuki Warriors—Asuka and Kairi Sane—have relentlessly targeted IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley, creating one of the most compelling storylines in WWE. Their aggressive tactics have put The Genius of the Sky and The Eradicator on the defensive, with Kairi seemingly caught between following Asuka’s orders and her own wishes.
Kairi Sane’s Role in WWE’s Current Narrative
On a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, Bubba Ray Dudley speculated that Kairi Sane could be the breakout star from the ongoing Kabuki Warriors saga. He drew a comparison between Sane’s evolving character and Jey Uso’s early days with The Bloodline, under Roman Reigns’ influence. According to Dudley, Sane appears compelled to follow Asuka’s commands despite internal conflict, adding layers to the storyline’s drama and complexity.
“I like the diverseness of the characters that they’re carving out amongst IYO and Asuka and Kairi. I’m liking the story. It’s a good little soap opera. Obviously, Rhea included, too. Asuka is playing her part very, very well. Kairi is doing a great job. Kairi could be the shining star in this whole thing. She could be the Jey Uso of this story, the breakout star of the story,” Bubba Ray said.
Jey Uso’s Evolution and Growing Popularity
Jey Uso’s ascent began when he eventually broke away from Roman Reigns and The Bloodline by moving to RAW. His fan base expanded significantly after teaming up with Cody Rhodes, forming a partnership that fueled the rise of The Yeet Movement. This shift allowed Jey to establish himself as a distinct main-event presence on WWE programming.
Roman Reigns’ Return to Support The Usos
This past Monday on RAW, after The Usos defeated The Brons, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed launched a fierce counterattack on the twins. The assault was brutal until Roman Reigns, the Tribal Chief, made a surprising return following a month-long absence. He intervened aggressively, wielding a steel chair against Breakker and Reed to halt their assault and reaffirm his dominance.
Following the confrontation, Reigns gave Jey an encouraging talk, urging him not to be discouraged by setbacks, while Jimmy watched on anxiously. This scene echoed earlier tension, as Jimmy had cautioned Jey about Roman’s gradual shift into their uncle’s manipulative persona, which had caused Jey to lose the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam two years prior.
What This Means for WWE’s Future Storylines
The ongoing developments signal a deeper exploration of character struggles and alliances within WWE. With Kairi Sane potentially stepping up as the next Jey Uso breakout star, the narrative is positioning her for a significant push. Meanwhile, Jey Uso’s trajectory remains intertwined with Roman Reigns and the evolving dynamics of The Bloodline and RAW rosters.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Sane’s role leads to her breakout moment, mirroring the success Jey has experienced. Roman Reigns’ return and support of The Usos also set the stage for future conflicts and character growth, promising intense and emotionally charged storylines ahead.
