Jey Uso's World Heavyweight Title loss to Gunther mocked backstage by WWE Superstars; unseen footage shared

Jey Uso lost the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on RAW. After the defeat, he was mocked backstage by the reigning World Tag Team Champions, The New Day.

The OG Bloodline member became the WWE World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania 41, dethroning The Ring General to mark his first world title win. He successfully defended the title twice, first against Seth Rollins and then against Logan Paul.

In recent months, Jey had been highly active, appearing on multiple shows and competing at numerous events. The title change caught a large portion of the WWE Universe by surprise. However, for Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, it was simply another opportunity to mock a fellow superstar.

Xavier Woods shared a video of himself and Kingston mocking Jey after his loss. The World Tag Team Champions were also seen preparing themselves to congratulate Gunther on regaining the title.

"Seconds after Jey lost the title," Woods wrote.

It is common knowledge that Woods and Kingston were in character in the video. The New Day and Main Event Jey are good friends outside the ring.

What did Jey Uso have to say after losing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship?

Jey Uso addressed the WWE Universe after losing the World Heavyweight Championship on RAW. He introduced his son to the WWE Universe and apologized to fans.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my youngest son, Jeyce. I'm so happy I brought him on the road with me this weekend. Y'all [have] seen him a couple of times on videos with me. Hey, even though I lost, I'm so glad he was here with me, traveling the road with me. I really wanna say I'm sorry to my son. I'm sorry to everybody here. I fought my a** off."

While Jey's world title reign ended in 51 days, things are far from over for The Yeet Master. He remains one of the most popular superstars on the roster and should be ready to bounce back soon.
