Jey Uso recently reunited with his brother, Jimmy Uso, to compete in a tag team match against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed at Wrestlepalooza last Saturday, with LA Knight acting as special guest referee. Despite their reunion, The Usos were defeated in this initial contest. This renewed partnership and the outcome set the stage for further storylines involving Jey Uso’s character and alliances. The involvement of LA Knight also played a pivotal role in shaping the match’s dynamics.
On the latest WWE RAW episode, Jey Uso secured a victory over LA Knight in a one-on-one encounter, capitalizing on Knight’s distraction caused by The Vision in the closing moments. Knight’s ongoing hint at a heel turn creates an intriguing narrative tension. Within this context, speculation is growing that Jey Uso’s Wiseman—the trusted advisor figure—will not be Roman Reigns, as some fans might expect.
Speculation Surrounds The Rock’s Possible Return as Jey Uso’s Wiseman
The Rock emerges as the likely candidate to take on the Wiseman role for Jey Uso instead of Roman Reigns. The Rock’s last WWE television appearance was at Elimination Chamber 2025, where he aligned with John Cena in a heel turn and attacked Cody Rhodes after Rhodes refused The Rock’s offer. Rumors circulated that The Rock might have returned during the recent WWE Premium Live Event to assume a guiding role for Jey Uso, but that did not occur.
Fans are increasingly convinced that The Rock could soon make his comeback as Jey Uso’s strategic counsel. This theory gains traction due to Jey’s current persona, which resembles the dominant style once associated with Roman Reigns. Reigns himself recently encouraged Jey on RAW to aggressively pursue the World Heavyweight Championship by dominating his competition. However, there is also potential for surprising twists, as suggested by the creative direction under Triple H’s leadership.
One alternative possibility is that The Final Boss himself may reappear as Jey Uso’s Wiseman. If he assumes this role, The Final Boss could aid Jey in reclaiming a spot in the world title chase and possibly securing the championship belt. Although these ideas spark intense debate among fans, they remain unconfirmed and mostly speculative at this moment.
Jey Uso’s Injury at Wrestlepalooza and Recovery Status
During the same Wrestlepalooza event, Jey Uso sustained an injury in the match against The Vision. In the closing stages, Jey attempted a risky maneuver involving a steel chair, striking Bron Breakker’s midsection and then using the chair against Bronson Reed. The move backfired when the chair rebounded and caused a cut on Jey Uso’s head.
Despite the injury, Jey was evaluated and declared fit to compete in his later match against LA Knight on WWE RAW. He shared a picture on his Instagram stories revealing the stitches on his head, showing the wound healing but still quite severe. This incident highlights the physical risks Jey faces while advancing his character’s narrative in WWE programming.
The ongoing recovery and injury management will likely influence how WWE’s creative team, directed by Triple H, shapes Jey Uso’s storyline moving forward.
Potential Impact of Wiseman Return on Jey Uso’s Future Trajectory
The possibility that The Rock could return as Jey Uso’s Wiseman rather than Roman Reigns introduces significant implications for WWE’s storytelling. The dynamic between Jey Uso and his adviser figure could shift the power balance within the WWE Universe, impacting title contention and character development.
Should The Final Boss take on this role instead, it could signal a major plot twist, opening new avenues for Jey Uso’s rise in the world heavyweight scene. This could reinvigorate his career trajectory following recent setbacks, including the injury and match losses.
In any case, these evolving storylines, driven by key figures such as Triple H, promise to maintain high audience engagement as WWE continues to build tension and excitement around Jey Uso’s Wiseman Return. Fans will be watching closely to see which direction WWE ultimately pursues and how Jey Uso’s role evolves in the weeks ahead.
