The Undertaker Congratulates Jey Uso Backstage at WrestleMania 41
The one half of the legendary tag team, The Usos, has been on a quest to build a name for himself as a singles competitor. And on Saturday, he kicked off the night with a title match and scored the biggest win of his wrestling career when he slayed The Ring General in a brutal match to put the gold on his shoulder. Following his victory, Jimmy Uso came out to the ring to present the title to his brother and celebrate the big win. Jimmy had been brutally assaulted earlier by Gunther, and his involvement made the storyline even more touching and interesting.
The Main Event Jey continued getting warm, congratulatory words backstage, where he met many superstars, including Robert Roode, Nick Aldis, Stephanie McMahon, Bruce Prichard, and also the WWE Chief Content Officer, Triple H. Recently, a video has been surfacing on social media where The Yeet Master can be seen meeting The Undertaker backstage. The Deadman congratulated Jey by saying, “Proud of you, brother.” The Phenom has often shared his appreciation for The Ring General, and beating one of his favorites would certainly have made Uso even more respectable in the Hall of Famer’s eyes.

Who Will Jey Uso Defend His Title Against at Backlash?
Gunther can claim a rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship at Backlash, but fans believe he is going in a different direction. On the April 21 episode of RAW, he viciously attacked the commentators, and fans believe he is heading into a rivalry with Pat McAfee, whom he attacked during the segment.
So that leaves fans wondering who could be the first challenger for Main Event Jey Uso. On the same episode of RAW, he made an appearance to celebrate his title win. He was joined by his brother Jimmy and close friend Sami Zayn, and fans are guessing one of them could be his next opponent.
Many are hoping for a thrilling feud with Zayn, as the champion and he have a long and interesting history. The Underdog From the Underground could perhaps grow jealous of his friend and attack him to start a rivalry. For the same reason, Jey’s brother could also betray him. Big Jim has been trying to build a singles name but hasn’t achieved the same level of success as his twin. It will be interesting to see who Jey will defend his title against at Backlash on May 10.
