The February 7 episode of WWE SmackDown took place at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee. The Royal Rumble went down less than a week ago in Indianapolis, and they were still sorting out what happened after the big show.
Jey Uso won the 2025 Mens Royal Rumble, and he is very excited about this. Now, with the WrestleMania main event in his hands, he must pick his opponent at the showcase of the immortals.
Main Event Jey Uso kicked off SmackDown this week, and he YEETED his way through the crowd. Once he got to the ring, we got an encore of YEETING as they played his music for a bit longer.
Jey Uso spoke about all the love hes received since winning the 2025 Mens Royal Rumble. Then he got some You Deserve It chants from fans. After that, he said that it was only right if he stood face-to-face with Cody Rhodes after he met up with GUNTHER on RAW this week. Then he welcomed his dawg Cody Rhodes to the ring.
Cody Rhodes came out to his full entrance, and he knew what Jey Uso wanted to talk about. Uce said it would mean a lot to stand across the ring from Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania, or he can stand next to him as they both raise their titles at the end of the show of shows. That is quite a decision.
The American Nightmare was told by his doctor and he has fluid in his elbow that needs to be drained, his back isnt aligned, and so many other issues. That didnt stop him from making it to SmackDown. He is also very proud that Jey Uso won the Mens Royal Rumble. He said that Uce has a choice, and the WrestleMania 41 sign is his to point at. Then he said that, as much as Jey has a choice, Cody Rhodes also must win at WrestleMania 41. Then he alluded to the idea that his friendship with Jey Uso would be paused if he picked him.
Suddenly, Jacob Fatus music hit, and he came out with Tama Tonga by his side. Fatu spoke about how Rhodes took that title from his family last year, but right now his family needs that title back. Fatu turned his attention to Jey Uso next, his cousin, big YEET man. That is when Jacob Fatu said that Jey isnt the man who is going to bring the title back to their family. Suddenly, action broke out in the ring as Jacob Fatu beat down everyone for a bit. Then Jey Uso nailed a Superkick and they ran the heels out of the ring.
We will have to see what happens on the road to WrestleMania. Things are certainly interesting right now.
