Jey Uso to back out of King of the Ring Tournament as WWE star puts him out of commission? Exploring the possibility

On the latest edition of WWE RAW on Netflix, Jey Uso defeated Sheamus, Bronson Reed, and Rusev in a Fatal Four-way match. This victory of the Yeet Master earned him the semi-final spot in the 2025 King of the Ring Tournament. The match witnessed multiple interferences, but still things ended in favor of the Samoan star.

Despite securing the spot in the semi-finals of KOTR, there is a possibility that Jey Uso might back out of the King of the Ring Tournament. This could happen when Seth Rollins puts him out of commission. After Jey managed to emerge as the winner of the red brand, the Visionary was visibly frustrated with the same.

He made his appearance in the post-match, where he was unhappy and about to attack the Yeet Master before Cody Rhodes made the save. This indicates that The Visionary has every intention of destroying the former World Heavyweight Champion.

So, it's probable that in the impending week, Rollins and his faction will once again attempt to take out Jey Uso. This time, the American Nightmare will not be able to rescue him, leading to him getting incapacitated and failing to compete in the King of the Ring.

This vacant spot allows the villainous faction to enter the tournament when Paul Heyman could approach the authority figure and grant either Bron Breakker or Bronson Reed that spot. Even Seth Rollins' faction may attack the Yeet Master at WWE Night of Champions 2025 backstage if he manages to qualify for the finals of this tournament.

Overall, Jey needs to be careful in the forthcoming week, as Seth Rollins already has the intent to put him out of commission following the recent WWE RAW.

Jey Uso might turn heel in WWE soon

Jey Uso will now face Cody Rhodes in the semi-finals of the WWE King of the Ring Tournament. This match is set to take place in the upcoming episode of the red brand, with the winner advancing to the finals of KOTR.

Amid this, there is an assumption that the Yeet master might turn heel in the company soon if he suffered the loss against the American Nightmare. Jey is surely frustrated after losing the World Heavyweight Championship to Gunther.

This King of the Ring allows him to win the gold back at WWE SummerSlam 2025. However, if Rhodes manages to take that chance away from the Samoan star, this is surely something Jey will not feel good about.

Frustrated by the loss, the former World Champion may turn heel in the Stamford-based promotion. Everything depends upon the upcoming episode of WWE RAW, and it will be interesting to witness who will win from Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso's singles showdown.
