Jey Uso has truly cemented himself as a main-event superstar on WWE SmackDown. He once again stole the show with his performance in the match against Cesaro. Uso carried himself like a ruthless heel inside the squared circle. He came close to pinning The Swiss Cyborg on multiple occasions.

At one point in the match, Jey Uso hit a devastating neckbreaker that visibly rocked his opponent. He went for the pinfall, but Cesaro kicked out right in time. A frustrated Uso then turned more ferocious in his attack. He even tried to trash talk, but Cesaro responded with a thunderous slap on WWE SmackDown. Jey Uso was equally dominant in the match until its closing moments.

Cesaro was prepared to swing him in the middle for the ring, but Seth Rollins attacked him from behind. The latter’s interference allowed Uso to escape, but he will eventually face Cesaro. He plays an instrumental role in ensuring that Roman Reigns’ Universal Championship reign doesn’t end on WWE SmackDown. That being said, Jey Uso deserves a lot of credit for his singles run on the Blue brand.
