Jey Uso will headline WrestleMania 41 after his victory in the 2025 Royal Rumble, where he eliminated John Cena to secure his spot in the main event against Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. This win is significant as it marks a pivotal moment on the journey to WrestleMania, and it offers Uso a chance for redemption after nearly pinning Gunther at last month’s Saturday Night’s Main Event.
WWE legend Booker T shared his thoughts on Uso’s achievement in an interview, praising both Uso and his brother, Jimmy, for their dedication and hard work in the gym. He expressed how special it was to witness Uso’s transition from tag-team to singles wrestling, emphasizing his commitment to giving his all in every opportunity presented to him. Booker T noted the popularity of Uso’s “yeet” catchphrase and how it has resonated with fans, highlighting the trust the company has in him following his Royal Rumble victory.
Booker T also commented on John Cena’s involvement in the upcoming men’s Elimination Chamber match, where the winner will face Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Cena’s decision to insert himself into the match without a qualifier demonstrates his ongoing commitment to the wrestling world. Booker T acknowledged Cena’s role in supporting Uso, recognizing that Cena once needed similar support early in his career.
WrestleMania 41 is scheduled for April 19-20 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
