WWE Hall of Famer makes interesting claim about Jey Uso; RAW star responds

Jey Uso is among the most beloved stars in professional wrestling. WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry recently made an interesting claim about the former Intercontinental Champion’s popularity among fans.

During his recent appearance on the Busted Open podcast, The World’s Strongest Man said people have chosen Jey Uso. He claimed that the Stamford-based company had not tried to shove the 39-year-old down the audience’s throats, something they seemingly did with Roman Reigns.

“He [Jey Uso] is not being shoved down our throats like Roman Reigns was shoved down our throats at the beginning. He is not a part of a group that has people standing behind him helping bully his way in. [It] is because the people have chosen. That means everything when the fans will sign for you and the fans love you,” said Henry.

The wrestling legend added that the crowd gets behind Uso every time he enters the squared circle. Henry believes Jey should win a major title before it is too late.

“Man, when he comes into the arena, and the whole crowd is going. When he’s taking a** whooping, he never has a pound of mat to get the people to come with him. When he’s taking a whooping, they [are] like, ‘Get up.’ It’s like Rocky. He’s got it, bro. I don’t understand like why anybody would not co-sign for him because he’s one of the chosen ones. […] If Jey got it, the people would go ballistic. It’s time. If they don’t do it now, it might be too late,” Henry added.

The clip shared on Busted Open’s Instagram account caught the attention of The YEET Master. He posted a one-word message in the comments section to describe Mark Henry.

“OG🔥,” he wrote.
