WWE Star Jey Uso Rushed to Hospital Before Major Match

On the night before the Elimination Chamber event, WWE athlete Jey Uso was urgently taken to a medical facility during this week’s SmackDown episode. Uso, one of six competitors slated for the high-stakes match in Chicago, Illinois, was unexpectedly overwhelmed backstage and placed into an ambulance amid chaotic scenes. His cousin, Jacob Fatu, was seen accompanying him closely to the hospital, visibly upset by the situation.

Background on the Upcoming Elimination Chamber Match

Jey Uso is set to face Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, LA Knight, Je’Von Evans, and Trick Williams inside the Elimination Chamber, a match whose victor will earn a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42. Uso secured his place last week by defeating El Grande Americano and Bronson Reed in a triple threat qualifying bout, though Reed suffered a genuine injury during that match.

Details of the Incident Leading to Jey Uso’s Hospitalization

The incident unfolded when Uso was discovered lying still backstage with large pieces of wood covering him, prompting immediate assistance from other WWE superstars and staff. The identity of any assailant responsible for the attack remains unknown. This unexpected event casts doubt on whether Uso can compete in the Elimination Chamber scheduled in Chicago the following day.
