Jey Uso breaks down while speaking on 'emotional' WWE Backlash 2024: "I felt like Bray Wyatt was showing love to me

 

Jey Uso finally opened up about his amazing entrance at WWE Backlash this past Saturday in Lyon, France. The Yeet Master felt that the late great Bray Wyatt showed him some love during his entrance

Main Event Jey Uso competed against Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at Backlash France. The Yeet Master came up short against The Archer of Infamy after Finn Balor and JD McDonagh of The Judgment Day interfered in the bout.
Despite the defeat, Jey went viral for his entrance at Backlash 2024 with the Lyon crowd showering him with fireflies. It reminded everyone of the late Bray Wyatt's entrance with a different vibe to it.

In a WWE Digital Exclusive interview with Cathy Kelley on RAW, Jey Uso opened up about the ovation he received at Backlash France. The Yeet Master was emotional while talking about the late Bray Wyatt.
"It was dope, though. Seeing all the fireflies came out. I got really emotional, ain't much to talk about it. A lot of people asking me what it was for my point of view. I just felt like Bray Wyatt was showing love to me. That's first time I've seen the fireflies I feel like since he's been gone, man, so I was really emotional seeing all of that and that happened to me, I was blessed for that," Jey Uso said.
