Jey Uso has been hinting at a possible heel turn, stirring mixed feelings among WWE fans who have embraced his current heroic persona. Since adopting the babyface role, The YEET Master has gained significant popularity, surpassing WWE’s initial expectations for the YEET movement.
However, the WWE Universe’s strong support for Jey as a good guy raises questions about how well a heel version of him would be received. A recent episode of Monday Night RAW showcased Jey’s unexpected behavior when he initially refused to assist LA Knight against members of The Vision. Later, Jey helped Jimmy Uso but ended the segment by delivering a surprising spear against LA Knight, signaling a shift towards a darker character.
Bill Apter, a respected wrestling journalist appearing on The Wrestling Time Machine hosted by Mac Davis, suggested that if WWE decides to turn Jey heel, the move could match the shock value of Hulk Hogan’s famous heel turn. He highlighted how influential Hogan’s transformation was and compared it to Jey’s current standing as one of WWE’s most beloved babyfaces.
“I don’t think that’s gonna happen because, just his entrance alone… Well it could happen. But his entrance alone, coming down and yeeting with the kids, they love that. This would be like, you know, when Hogan turned heel. He was the biggest babyface in the world, and he turned heel. Look at Jey Uso, right now, he is like one of the biggest babyfaces in WWE. The fans just love him.”

Although it remains uncertain whether WWE will push Jey Uso into a villainous role, The Usos are scheduled to face The Vision’s Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed at the upcoming Wrestlepalooza event, providing more opportunities for character development.
