Jey Uso was placed in concussion protocol following an injury sustained during WWE Wrestlepalooza last night, raising concerns for fans about his immediate health and future in the ring. The incident occurred in a tag team match held in Australia, where The Usos faced off against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, with LA Knight acting as the special guest referee.
Details of the Injury and Match Conclusion
During the later stages of the intense tag team contest, Jey Uso, known as the YEET Man, accidentally injured himself while striking Bron Breakker with a steel chair. The chair bounced off Breakker’s back and struck Jey directly on the forehead, causing a severe cut. Following this, Big Dog capitalized on the moment, driving The Usos through a table with a double spear, then Reed finished the bout with a Tsunami move, securing the win for their team.
LA Knight was heard calling an early end to the match due to the severity of Jey’s injury. Medical personnel quickly intervened, and Jey was assessed by a ringside doctor, prompting visible concern from his twin brother Jimmy Uso, who is part of the same tag team.
Reported by Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion was officially placed in concussion protocol, a mandatory safety measure after suspected head trauma, though no further official updates on the extent of Jey’s injury have been released.
“Jey busted himself open, he hit Bron with the chair and it bounced off Bron’s back and split him six ways from Sunday,” he writes. “He’s in concussion protocol, which is a requirement after any injury like this.” – Bryan Alvarez, Wrestling Observer
Ongoing Rivalry and Future Prospects for The Usos
The fallout from WWE Wrestlepalooza indicates that the feud between The Usos and the team of Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed remains heated and far from resolution. Despite the setback suffered by Jey, the rivalry is expected to continue in upcoming events.
Meanwhile, Jey Uso has voiced his support for his twin brother Jimmy’s singles career ambitions. In a conversation on ESPN, Jey expressed his hope that Jimmy attains a singles championship title, highlighting the respect and admiration they have for each other within WWE’s competitive landscape.
“It’d make my heart just filled with joy man. Big E was down in FCW when we first got down there, he was down there already, so I lowkey learned the game from both of them, our style. But I think my brother deserves a singles championship, and he’s gonna get it. Whether it be this year or next year, Big Jim is him. He’s really him.” – Jey Uso, WWE Superstar (H/T – Wrestletalk)
Looking Ahead: Jey Uso’s Recovery and WWE’s Upcoming Events
With the high-profile WWE Crown Jewel event approaching in Australia, attention now turns to whether Jey Uso will be medically cleared to compete again in time for this next Premium Live Event. The WWE’s use of concussion protocols emphasizes their commitment to wrestler safety, but it adds uncertainty to future match cards involving The Usos.
Jey’s current condition and recovery process will be closely monitored by both WWE officials and fans. His absence or limited participation could impact ongoing storylines and the tag team division’s dynamics, especially as The Usos are key figures in WWE’s roster.
Overall, this incident highlights the physical risks wrestlers face in the ring and underscores the importance of health precautions within professional wrestling. The evolving situation around Jey Uso’s health will be a focal point for WWE stakeholders as they plan their upcoming shows and talent utilization.
