The match was restarted as per Cody’s request, as he didn’t want a cheap victory; however, the restarted match with a proper official ended in a disqualification as Zayn intervened to land a Helluva Kick on Gunther and later a title to the head on Rhodes.
Once the dust settled, Cody Rhodes bumped into Jey Uso backstage, who had just won the semifinal match of the King of the Ring tournament. The American Nightmare congratulated Main Event Jey for his victory, but Uso quickly told Rhodes that he would come after his WWE Title at SummerSlam. Looking at his potential opponent’s overconfidence, Cody reminded Jey that he has to defeat Oba Femi first to get to him.
A fan account shared a clip of the exchange on X. Later in the clip, Jey can be seen bumping into Sami Zayn, who says that he isn’t doing too well but it could be him that Uso ends up facing at SummerSlam if he were to win the title from The American Nightmare in the newly announced Triple Threat match with Sami Zayn, Gunther, and Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship at Night of Champions next weekend.
Jey Uso Defeats Je’Von Evans in King of the Ring Tournament Semifinal Match, Teases future match with Cody Rhodes
Jey Uso proved himself to the WWE Universe with a victory over Je’Von Evans in the King of the Ring semifinal match on SmackDown this past Friday. He will now face the dominant Oba Femi in the final of the tournament at the Night of Champions PLE next weekend.
The former World Heavyweight Champion seemed unflinchingly confident after his victory over the Young OG despite the uphill battle he faces against The Ruler in the final. The winner of the King of the Ring tournament final gets a title shot at the top WWE Champion, and Uso has already begun teasing a match against WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam.
The ‘Right Hand Man’ could also go up against his Tribal Chief for the World Heavyweight Title, as it belongs to the Raw brand, in which Uso wrestles.
With the current Bloodline story taking shape and Jey Uso taking orders from the OTC, World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, it would be very interesting to see how a match between these two men would pan out at SummerSlam if Jey manages to defeat Oba Femi and win King of the Ring next weekend.
