Royal Rumble 2025 had all the potential to be one of the best Royal Rumbles in WWE history. It lived up to the hype in some aspects but it also received a lot of criticism. Charlotte Flair winning the women's Royal Rumble match was not favoured by a large number of WWE fans as it had been an extremely predictable outcome and a lot of fans wanted to see some new name getting this major push.
But the outcome of the men's Royal Rumble match is already being considered one of the most shocking outcomes in Royal Rumble history. Most of the media sources claimed that WWE is considering either John Cena or CM Punk to win the men's Royal Rumble match but "Main Event" Jey Uso shocked the entire world when he last eliminated John Cena to win the Rumble match.
"Jey Uso Was a Great Sleeper.'" Wrestling Legend Makes Bold Claim On Shocking Royal Rumble Outcome
Jey was nowhere near as one of the favourites to win the Rumble match. There were even rumours that Roman Reigns may come out with his second Royal Rumble win after a decade. Additionally, Seth Rollins was also a favourite. But literally, nobody expected Jey to win the Rumble match. This outcome will definitely go down as one of the most unpredictable Rumble outcomes in WWE history.
Jey Uso was a former WWE Intercontinental Champion
It was rumoured already that Jey would be challenging Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41 and John Cena would go on to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Last Monday on RAW, he finally announced that he would go for the World Heavyweight title. Here is what wrestling legend Matt Hardy said on this topic on his “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast,
Jey Uso won the men's Royal Rumble match of 2025
“He was a great sleeper [pick]. I mean, his reactions are undeniable, and just the amount of investment that actual WWE fans have in Jey Uso right now. It’s just — you know, hard to question. So he is someone that could have been a sleeper winner, no doubt from the beginning. And in a lot of ways, I’m glad they pulled the trigger, and he won.”
