Big E: I’m So Curious To See If Jey Uso Will Take A Shortcut Against CM Punk

Big E considers Jey Uso’s new attitude ahead of a blockbuster WWE World Championship match.

On the October 20th edition of WWE Monday Night RAW, the WWE World Title would be vacated due to Seth Rollins’ current injuries. On the show, Jey Uso would win a battle royal to earn a championship match with CM Punk at the upcoming WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event with the vacant title on the line.

While speaking to the RAW Recap in the latest episode, Big E spoke on Jey Uso’s new attitude, noting that he is curious to see if Jey takes any shortcuts against CM Punk.

“You know what, I can definitely see it because I will say one of my, I think, and this might be a minor criticism, but if I was going to critique Jey’s run as world champion. It’s like, man, you’re a guy who’s done this for such a long time. Maybe you haven’t won multiple world championships, but you know what you’re doing in the ring. I think too many times we saw a Jey Uso who doubted himself against Gunther. I think this version of Jey Uso is not in his own head. He’s not worrying if he deserves this spot, if he really is the guy. It’s, ‘hey, that’s an opening, I’m gonna take it.’ Maybe this is the Jey Uso we need to see at Saturday Night’s Main Event. I’m so curious to see against Punk, is he going to take a shortcut? Is he going to take any opening that comes? Is he going to be decisive? Because I don’t think we’re seeing a Jey who is overthinking anymore. We don’t see someone who is kind of caught up in this paralysis by analysis. We see a Jey Uso who is fiery, who is hungry, who is not seemingly worried about other people’s opinions right now. So this Jey Uso might be the version that can once again become world champion.”
