The main event of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event XLI was a match between CM Punk and Jey Uso for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship.
The bout, as expected, delivered a classic display of wrestling. Both stars put themselves on the line to capture the gold, but The Best in the World used his veteran skills and championship experience to full advantage and pinned The Yeet Master to become the new champion on Monday Night RAW.
In this article, we will examine three factors why Uso did not become the World Heavyweight Champion again.
#3. Fans’ backlash
The major reason Jey didn’t capture the vacant title was likely the backlash from the WWE Universe. After he won the Battle Royal and became the second challenger, most fans were upset with the decision, and the dislike and like ratio was proof of the audience’s disapproval of seeing The Yeet Master as champion again.
Triple H and his creative team may have already assessed the heat and decided not to crown the OG Bloodline member as the titleholder again.
#2. His ongoing storyline on WWE RAW
Jey Uso is currently involved in a program with his brother Jimmy Uso, where the two are not getting along well because the former champion wants to continue his singles run, focus only on himself, and is also showing the shades of a heel turn.
The tensions between The Usos increased when Jey eliminated Big Jim from behind during the Battle Royal. Things might get more intense in the upcoming weeks. Therefore, putting a title on The Yeet Master wasn’t needed for this saga.
#1. CM Punk has a better story
The Best in the World has a perfect storyline on his back and can have multiple major WWE matches compared to Jey Uso, who already had a decorated title reign.
The Second City Saint could immediately re-enter the rivalry with The Vision faction, this time with the title on the line against Bron Breakker or Bronson Reed.
