Jey Uso outperformed Gunther at WrestleMania last month and captured the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. However, things aren’t slowing down for The Yeet Master, as he has a massive target on his back. He defended his title against Seth Rollins on last week's RAW, but the bout ended in chaos.
Logan Paul is next in line to face Jey Uso. Recently, a World Heavyweight Title match between Jey and The Maverick was announced for Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 25, 2025. Last week, Paul, disguised as a fan, assaulted The Yeet Master while the latter was interacting with fans at ringside. If Paul brutally attacks the champion on tonight's RAW, Adam Pearce could cancel the title showdown.
Things might get chaotic if the championship match is canceled on RAW. The storyline between Paul and Jey would get more personal and thrilling if the two stars didn't get to immediately settle their differences in a ring. The potential angle could allow WWE to intensify the rivalry and book a match at a big event like Money in the Bank 2025.
That said, the angle proposed above is speculative, and nothing has been confirmed.
On the Keepin’ it 100 OFFICIAL podcast, WCW veteran Disco Inferno went off on World Wrestling Entertainment for portraying Jey Uso as a weak world champion. Inferno felt the Stamford-based promotion often booked less popular superstars against top names right after their big moments.
"The problem with that company is that they never want to pull the trigger on somebody becoming a star, like somebody really elevating themselves. And what they do is, they'll give a person a title, but instead of trying to take this character to another level, they'll immediately take the underling characters on the show and have them start working with that," Inferno said.
It will be interesting to see how WWE books the Jey Uso-Logan Paul saga in the weeks leading up to Saturday Night’s Main Event XXXIX.
