In a move that is sure to energize the WWE universe, the company is planning to revamp Jey Uso’s entrance, drawing inspiration from the electrifying crowd reaction he received at Backlash France. According to reports, WWE officials were thoroughly impressed by the Lyon crowd’s enthusiasm, particularly during Uso’s entrance, which has prompted the organization to incorporate elements that will recreate that magic in future events.
The 38-year-old wrestler, known for his signature “Yeet!” taunt, stunned the crowd and even WWE champion, Damian Priest, with his spectacular entrance at Backlash France. The French crowd’s reaction was unprecedented, with fans mimicking the Fireflies, a nod to Bray Wyatt’s fanbase, by turning on their phone flashlights, creating a mesmerizing visual effect. Uso even referenced the Fireflies in a post-match interview, further solidifying the connection.
WWE production sources have revealed that the organization is set to heavily push fans towards mimicking the Lyon crowd’s energetic display. To achieve this, they plan to dim the crowd lighting while Uso makes his way to the ring, creating an immersive experience. Additionally, they will continue to showcase examples of Uso’s theme song being used in mainstream events, such as sporting events, to further amplify his presence.
This development marks a significant milestone in Uso’s career, who has transitioned from a successful tag team star to a singles sensation. His exceptional performance at Backlash France, where he faced off against Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship, has undoubtedly propelled him towards the top of the WWE hierarchy.
Uso’s viral entrances have become a hallmark of his performances, with Night One of WrestleMania XL featuring a memorable walk-out with Grammy-winning rapper Lil’ Wayne. The rapper performed his “A Milli” single, replacing his initially announced “Bless” single, adding to the excitement of the event.
As WWE continues to revamp its product in this new era, the focus on Jey Uso’s entrance is a testament to the organization’s commitment to creating an engaging experience for fans. With the potential to recreate the electric atmosphere of Backlash France, WWE is poised to take Uso’s push to the top to new heights.
