In-Ring Segment: Jey Uso
Jey says it feels great to be out of The Bloodline and be on his own. It also feels good to be on Monday Night Raw. Kevin Owens’ music hits. Owens pensively stares at Jey from the stage before going to the ring. Both men leer at each other before Owens finally speaks. Owens thinks Jey meant to say that Jey Uso is now on the Kevin Owens Show. Owens goes on to say he’s been exactly where Jey has been.
He knows what Jey is going through. He did a lot of bad things to a lot of good people. When he tried to make up for the things he’s done, it took a while. Some people in the locker room still don’t respect or trust him. Drew McIntyre and Matt Riddle are just two of many who don’t want Jey here. Cody Rhodes seems to be willing to give Jey a chance, and last week, Zayn opened Jey back with open arms.
