WWE buries Jey Uso on RAW; wrestling veteran blasts baffling booking decision (Exclusive)

WWE star Jey Uso lost to Cody Rhodes this week on RAW. Veteran wrestling writer Vince Russo was disgruntled with the booking, claiming it did a disservice to Jey.

Cody and Jey put on an instant classic in the semifinal of the King of the Ring Tournament. The hotly contested matchup ended when Cody hit a Cross Rhodes on his opponent for the win. However, the match had its fair share of near falls as Jey got painstakingly close to getting the win.

This week on Sportskeeda's Legion of RAW, Vince Russo explained that despite delivering two Superkicks and a Cross Rhodes, Jey Uso still couldn't get the win. However, Cody planted him with just one Cross Rhodes for the victory. The veteran writer detailed that this booking buried Jey, and the former World Heavyweight Champion lost his credibility.

"I don't know if they realize they're doing stuff on purpose, I don't know. But two Superkicks and a Cross Rhodes can't beat Cody. But one Cross Rhodes can beat Jey. That buries Jey. I don't know if they realize that or not. I'm watching this. He gives him two Superkicks, the Cross Rhodes, and Cody pops back up and goes to the corner. Jey, do you not understand that it buries you, bro? Then, Cody does the one Cross Rhodes and it's over." [From 5:50 onwards]

After the match, Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso exchanged a moment of mutual respect. Jey raised Cody's hand in victory and wished him the best. Rhodes will now face Randy Orton in the final of the King of the Ring Tournament.
