Jey Uso Reveals He’s Not 100% Fit Ahead of SummerSlam 2025
As WWE prepares for one of its biggest events of the year, SummerSlam 2025, one of the marquee Superstars—Jey Uso—has revealed that he’s not going into the event at full strength.
During the SummerSlam Kickoff Show, Jey Uso addressed fans directly about his condition heading into his high-profile tag team match. While mentally prepared, the former World Heavyweight Champion admitted that physically, he’s feeling the effects of weeks of punishment.
“I’m not 100%. Something is wrong with my right side, but I’m ready to go to war,” Jey shared candidly during the broadcast.
This announcement came as a surprise to many, as Uso has been booked as a key player on the road to SummerSlam, especially in segments involving Bronson Reed and even brief encounters with Roman Reigns. One particular highlight included multiple brutal Tsunami splashes from Reed—moves that have visibly taken a toll on Jey’s body.
Despite these challenges, Jey Uso is showing the grit that fans have come to admire. Partnering with Roman Reigns again at SummerSlam, the two will be in a marquee tag team match that could have serious implications for the Bloodline storyline going forward.
While Jey won’t be carrying the match alone, his revelation adds a layer of uncertainty. Will his injury hold up during the physicality of a high-stakes SummerSlam match? Will Reigns take on more of the in-ring load? These are the questions fans and analysts are asking.
Jey’s growing popularity has made him one of the most beloved Superstars in the WWE roster today. His “Yeet” chant has become an arena-wide anthem, and even with a minor injury, fans will likely rally behind him once again.
It’s worth noting that in WWE, minor injuries don’t always take stars out of action, especially during premium live events. The company has often relied on taped ribs, protective gear, and creative booking to help injured wrestlers perform safely while still delivering high-quality entertainment.
Still, it’s unclear how serious this issue with his “right side” is. Whether it’s a rib injury, oblique strain, or something else, WWE has not officially confirmed the diagnosis.
With SummerSlam featuring an already stacked card and massive storylines in play, Jey Uso’s performance could either shine as a testament to his resilience—or it could raise more concerns about his long-term health in WWE’s grueling schedule.
Fans will be watching closely to see if Jey Uso can overcome the odds once again.
