Well, folks, if you’re looking for drama, high-flying kicks, and a dash of good old-fashioned rivalry, then this week’s WWE Raw was just your ticket. Jey Uso, the man on a mission, not only bagged his third consecutive win post-WrestleMania, but also found himself squaring off against Finn Balor of the notorious Judgment Day—and let’s just say, it was more electrifying than a Fourth of July barbecue.
Introduced by none other than Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes, who’s practically handing over the keys to the “Raw” kingdom, Uso made it clear he was flying solo for this showdown. Rhodes, like a proud coach at a little league game, retreated to the back, leaving Uso to handle the heavy lifting.
As the match heated up faster than a microwave dinner, Balor, ever the strategist, tried a sneaky eye rake while the ref was busy contemplating life. But it takes more than that to keep Uso down. He retaliated with a superkick that could knock the taste out of your mouth. Balor, not to be outdone, aimed for his high-flying Coupe de Grace but found only the mat, as Uso dodged with the grace of a matador.
Seizing the moment, Uso delivered a spear sharp enough to start a campfire and followed up with the Uso Splash, nailing the win like a carpenter on overtime. But just as Uso was soaking in the cheers, who should appear but Damian Priest, the World Heavyweight Champion, with timing worse than an interrupting telemarketer.
The celebration turned sour as JD McDonagh and Dominik Mysterio jumped Uso from behind, with Balor joining the fray like it was a Black Friday sale. Yet, Uso wasn’t having any of it. He broke free, sprinted up the stairs into the crowd, and left his attackers staring dumbfounded as he exchanged icy glares with Priest, who was still clinging to his title in the ring.
Next week, folks, we’ve got a sizzler on our hands as these titans are set to clash at Backlash. Will Uso continue his winning streak, or will Judgment Day rain on his parade? Tune in, because this rivalry is turning into the kind of saga that makes you want to grab your popcorn and cancel all other plans.
