5 reasons why Jey Uso must turn heel in WWE after losing the World Heavyweight Title

The RAW after Money in the Bank saw Jey Uso defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Gunther. While fans were expecting Seth Rollins to emerge near the end of the match and cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase on Uso, The Ring General beat him clean with his submission sleeper hold. Much to many fans' disappointment, this ended The Yeet Master's title reign in just 51 days. Now, the burning question is, where does he go from here?

While fans continue to speculate what's next for Jey Uso, here are five reasons why he should turn heel following his title loss on WWE RAW.

#5. Fans criticized his babyface title run

Heading into WrestleMania 41, Jey Uso received some polarizing reactions from the WWE Universe. While the live crowd continued to cheer him on, fans on the internet were not fond of him winning the title from Gunther. The two had a match for the title at Saturday Night’s Main Event 38 just months before The Show of Shows, and YeetMania did not prevail. With The Ring General holding the Intercontinental Championship for 666 days, fans wanted him to do the same with the World Heavyweight Title.

However, Jey Uso won and didn't do anything significant with the title. Yes, he defended it on two occasions, but it never added anything to his character or storyline. His run as champion was criticized heavily online. Many fans also called The Yeet Master out on his lack of mic skills as a babyface. It gives Uso the perfect reason to turn heel and blame the fans for the change, like what John Cena is doing with his current run.

#4. Jey Uso needs a new direction apart from Yeeting

Many WWE fans watching the show from home have always complained about Jey Uso’s current gimmick. The star's long, drawn-out intro, which lasts for minutes, has lost its charm. Many have criticized it as the only good part of his character. Uso has no direction apart from Yeeting repeatedly on every show and PLE.

A heel turn would add a new layer to his character. As his theme song suggests, it's just him, and as a vicious heel, this would get a new meaning. Despite being one of the top merch sellers and babyfaces in the company, his act suffered from being too reliant on a catchphrase. It could finally lead him to snap and turn heel and embrace a selfish character.

#3. Heel Jey Uso will be more aggressive and ruthless

Fans are tired of seeing Uso perform the same moves and cut the same promo every week. During his time as the right-hand man of The Tribal Chief, he was vicious, angry, and gritty. There were more layers to The Yeet Master, even when he defied Roman Reigns. However, all that washed away once he turned babyface.

The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion turned into something similar to PG John Cena. He was sweet to fans, his promos lacked fire, and he was always ready to help his friends despite the consequences. It all could change with a heel turn if the Right Hand Man to The OG Bloodline rears his head again.

#2. A heel turn will keep him in singles competition

With the question about Uso’s future lingering in the air, fans wonder if he would return to tag team action with his brother Jimmy. But a heel turn could prevent that from happening. An irate former Bloodline member on the warpath would be an interesting story, especially if he turns on his former friends like Sami Zayn and Cody Rhodes. The heel turn can have great potential if done correctly.

Jey Uso, as a heel, can not only face all his previous foes with more ferocity, but he can also go against all his friends. Jey and Jimmy could also have their rematch from WrestleMania 40, but with the roles reversed. This heel turn would bring freshness to The Yeet Master, who could also go against fans Yeeting for him by claiming that it got him nowhere.

#1. Heel Jey Uso has the potential to be better than Seth Rollins

At present, there are a great number of heels on RAW, including Gunther, Seth Rollins, and more. However, if executed correctly, Jey Uso could outperform all of them. Over the past few months, Uso’s storyline has involved people telling him he didn't belong in the World Heavyweight Title scene. It could be the motivation for him to take out everyone.

While Gunther and Rollins want the title for the power, Uso’s only goal could be to beat all the top stars and prove that he belongs there. As mentioned, his act is too reliant on the whole Yeet thing, but a heel run where he separates himself from it and goes on a rampage would revitalize the character. The Yeet Master himself has mentioned in the past that he would like to have another heel run, and this seems to be the perfect time to do it.
