WWE star Jey Uso recently spoke about redeeming himself at WrestleMania this year. He is currently one of the most popular stars in the company.

At WrestleMania 40, Jey and Jimmy wrestled against each other in a huge match that was the culmination of a long storyline. The Usos wrestled the dream match at the Show of Shows. However, the match failed to live up to the hype, and Jey felt it could have been better.

During an exclusive interview with CBS Sports, Jey mentioned that the twins had always put on stellar matches in the tag team division. He recalled some famous feuds with the SHIELD, the New Day, and the Wyatt Family. However, he felt he needed to put on some impactful matches that people would recall easily. The Royal Rumble winner felt this was time for his redemption at the grandest stage after a lukewarm match against Jimmy last year:

"I always thought we put on great matches. If you look at it, we had great matches with The Wyatt Family, The Shield, The New Day. Now, I feel like I've had a couple of good matches but not ones that stick in people's minds. This is redemption time on the big stage. The pressure is on." (H/T CBS Sports)

Jey Uso is gearing up to face Gunther

Earlier this year, Jey Uso created history by winning the Royal Rumble. It was an incredible feat emerging the winner among a stacked field that consisted of huge names such as John Cena, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Drew McIntyre.

Since the win, Uso has decided he would face Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. The Ring General did not take kindly to his announcement, as he has been ambushing Jey for the last couple of weeks on the red brand.

However, the former Bloodline member turned the tables this week as he rushed out to confront Gunther as he attacked Otis. The Ring General rushed out of the ring to escape Jey Uso's wrath.
