We then see the arrivals of Sami Zayn, CM Punk, The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, Raquel Rodriguez and Carlito), IYO SKY and Charlotte Flair.
We then get a video package recapping this past Saturday’s WWE Royal Rumble PLE.
2025 Men’s Royal Rumble winner “Main Event” Jey Uso is then shown walking through the concourse. Uso then looks into the camera and asks for his music to play and then he makes his way down to the ring through the crowd. Pat McAfee then welcomes us to the show and Cole announces tonight’s attendance as 13,432.
Jey is then introduced by ring announcer Alicia Taylor as soon as he arrives at ringside. Jey then stops and slaps hands with the commentary team before entering the ring. Cole describes Jey’s Rumble win as one of the most shocking in Rumble history and notes that he eliminated John Cena to win the match.
A “you deserve it” chant breaks out and Jey removes his “YEET” shades. An “Uso” chant then breaks out followed by a “YEET” chant. Jey then says thank you guys for that. Jey then says he didn’t know what to say. A “YEET” chant starts up again and Jey takes it in. Jey then asks the fans to let him talk. Jey then says he got in the game 15 years ago and established a legacy with his brother Jimmy. Jey then speaks about the pandemic era and joining The Bloodline.

WWE World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” GUNTHER’s music then hits, then he makes his way down to the ring and joins Jey Uso inside the ring. GUNTHER tells Jey that he would congratulate him, but in reality he is disappointed because a match between them for the World Heavyweight Championship doesn’t appeal to him. GUNTHER then says Jey can’t lace his boots and he’s learned how to make fans believe that he’s barely holding on to the World Heavyweight Championship when he’s really in control. GUNTHER then refuses to let Jey challenge him for the World Heavyweight Championship and asks him if he knows what it even means to hold it as he builds a legacy for himself. GUNTHER then says beating Jey doesn’t add anything to his legacy and if Jey chooses to face him at WrestleMania 41, every week will be hell for him and he will hurt him.
GUNTHER then looks to leave, but Jey says he is tired of everyone telling him what he can and can’t be. Jey then says he’s going to be on SmackDown on Friday to talk to Cody Rhodes, but no matter who he chooses to face at WrestleMania, he is still the winner of the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble and will be walking out of the event as a champion. Jey Uso’s music then hits and he exits the ring to end the opening segment.
Michael Cole and Pat McAfee then speaks at their desk. Cole says they will have an update on Roman Reigns later in the show after he was stomped by Seth Rollins twice at the Royal Rumble.
