Jey Uso announced as newest member of WWE Raw roster

Jey Uso is back in WWE, this time as part of the Raw roster. 

Uso returned to WWE at Saturday’s Payback pay-per-view and was introduced by Cody Rhodes as the newest member of the Raw roster during a Grayson Waller Effect talk show segment. 

After being introduced by Rhodes, Uso had a brief interaction with Waller where Waller taunted him, ending with Uso laying Waller out with a superkick. Rhodes was a special guest of Waller’s on the Grayson Waller Effect, and noted that he had asked to be on the segment to make the announcement of Jey’s return.

On-screen authority figure Adam Pearce later posted on social media that Jey’s move to Raw was “official.”

Uso had announced that he was “out” of WWE and the SmackDown roster during the August 11 edition of SmackDown in the fallout from SummerSlam where Jey’s brother Jimmy cost him a chance at Roman Reigns’ Undisputed Universal Championship.

Waller called attention to the quick turnaround between Jey leaving and returning in the Payback segment. 

Reigns used a superkick from Jimmy to pin Jey in a Tribal Combat match where both Reigns’ Championship and title of “Tribal Chief” were at stake in the SummerSlam main event.

Jey’s move to Raw is the latest twist in WWE’s Bloodline saga, a storyline that has carried the SmackDown brand throughout 2023.
