Jey Uso challenged Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event last weekend but could not defeat The Ring General. However, Main Event Jey cut a passionate promo this past Monday night on RAW and claimed that he knows he can defeat the Austrian. The 39-year-old added that he was planning on winning the Men's Royal Rumble this weekend to earn another major title shot at WWE WrestleMania 41.
Former WWE writer criticizes Jey Uso's entrance on RAW
Former head writer for the Stamford-based promotion Vince Russo recently took the company to task for Jey Uso's lengthy entrances on WWE television.
Uso came to the ring with popular rapper Quavo this past Monday night and the entrance took several minutes. Speaking on this week's edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Russo claimed that fans were getting bored with the overly long entrances and suggested that some possibly even change the channel.
"I swear, I think his entrance tonight, I think that was a world record. I think that was the longest entrance in the history of professional wrestling. They're not getting it. People at home are bored with that. I've said it a million times, if you're there, it's one thing. If you're home you're changing the channel and you're gonna come back when the action is taking place," said Russo. [From 19:44 onwards]
