The Undertaker recently commented on the growing conversation about Jey Uso‘s long WWE ring entrances, offering his unique perspective as someone known for a memorable entrance himself. During an interview with SHAK Wrestling, the wrestling legend compared his own entrance routine to Jey Uso’s current style, touching off discussion about crowd interaction and showmanship.
Undertaker Reflects on Jey Uso’s Entrance and Audience Reaction
Few ring walks in WWE history have become as legendary as The Undertaker’s, marked by a slow, atmospheric approach that built anticipation each time he appeared before fans. However, The Undertaker, also known as “The Deadman,” acknowledged that in the modern WWE era, Jey Uso has managed to establish himself with an entrance that matches, if not exceeds, the length and spectacle of his own iconic routine. While appearing on SHAK Wrestling to promote the return of WWE LFG on A&E, The Undertaker spoke candidly about the unique entertainment value Jey Uso brings to each show.
“You look at the reactions that he gets, how long those entrances are,”
—Undertaker, WWE Legend
He noted the crowd’s enthusiastic response and how Jey Uso manages to maintain the audience’s excitement throughout his entrance. Even with breaks in the show, Jey’s entrance continues to captivate wrestling fans.
“I used to get accused of having a long entrance. My goodness! I’m a sprint to the ring now. The audience is so engaged. He’ll make his entrance, come out of break, still be — ready, going for round two.”

Discussing Jey Uso’s Status Following Title Loss
The Undertaker also commented on Jey Uso’s career, specifically referencing his recent run with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and subsequent loss to GUNTHER. He addressed the debate around whether losing the title could affect Jey’s standing within WWE. According to The Undertaker, holding or losing a championship does not determine Jey Uso’s importance as a performer or crowd favorite.
“I don’t think just because he lost, it has to necessarily hurt his place,”
—Undertaker, WWE Legend
The Hall of Famer pointed out how Jey had already established himself as a main event figure before his brief championship reign. Instead of focusing on setbacks, he emphasized the value of creative freedom and the dangers of letting title status define a wrestler’s legacy.
“I don’t think the title is gonna define Jey Uso. He was already well on his way, long before he beat GUNTHER. Yeah, was it a short run? Yeah. It was a little short. But, again, I don’t think that’s gonna define Jey as an attraction, as a draw. He is a bona fide, top-tier guy now and if you worry too much about not being the champion, I think it hinders your creativity. It’s a bump in the road. I don’t think that it’s gonna be a detriment. I think the people who follow things and are always looking for drama on the internet and looking for some reason to be up in arms… It’s overblown. I think Jey is gonna be a main event guy for years to come.”
