During the WWE Royal Rumble kickoff show in Saudi Arabia, Jey Uso, current World Tag Team Champion, predicted he would win the men’s Royal Rumble match again, but the local fans reacted with loud boos. The event took place at a packed venue where Uso appeared alongside Michael Cole to engage the crowd ahead of the upcoming PLE.

Mixed Reactions Follow Uso’s Bid to Repeat Last Year’s Victory

Jey Uso made a grand entrance with cheers, as the Saudi Arabian crowd enthusiastically sang his theme song and celebrated his presence. However, that enthusiasm shifted when he expressed his intention to “run it back” and claim the 2026 Royal Rumble win, a title he secured last year. The fans vocally opposed his prediction, jeering for several seconds before Uso regained control by leading them in his signature catchphrase and sharing a celebratory yeet with the audience.

Background on Jey Uso’s Recent Achievements and Family Mention

Having won the 2025 men’s Royal Rumble, Jey Uso capitalized on this victory by defeating Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41. Despite this success, the fans’ lukewarm response in Saudi Arabia suggests he is not a clear favorite going into tomorrow’s match. Uso also acknowledged the absence of his twin brother Jimmy Uso, who has not appeared on WWE television for the past two weeks. He sent good wishes to Jimmy and his wife Naomi, confirming they were both at home.

Upcoming Coverage and Event Outlook

WrestleZone will provide live updates and coverage during the WWE Royal Rumble event on Saturday, capturing all key moments as they unfold. Given the mixed crowd reactions, Jey Uso’s bid to replicate last year’s victory may face a challenging reception among fans as the contest progresses.
