Who Is Jey Uso, WWE Superstar Beloved by Lil Wayne, Travis Scott and More?


Rappers like Lil Wayne, Travis Scott, Quavo and more are champions for WWE icon Jey Uso. 'It's clear he was raised in the culture,' says Killer Mike.

“Yeet” is a longstanding hip-hop slang term so widespread that it has two definitions in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, as an interjection (“used to express surprise, approval, or excited enthusiasm”) and, even funnier, as a verb (“to throw especially with force and without regard for the thing being thrown”). Killer Mike tells Variety, “We’re used to only seeing hip-hop caricatures in wrestling — corny raps, exaggerated tropes like the boom box on the shoulder, crazy colors and fashions, butchered catch-phrases, and so on. Jey’s biggest win to date happened in February, when he won the 30 Man Royal Rumble match, which has been a career defining feat reserved for upper echelon superstars: The Rock, Hulk Hogan, John Cena, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels are previous winners.
