Jey Uso reveals that he would not have accepted being hit like Travis Scott hit Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber.
The rapper joined in on the beat down of Cody Rhodes, along with The Rock and John Cena. The WWE Champion received a big black eye from Travis Scott, who clearly hadn’t been clued in to the fake nature of pro wrestling.
Speaking with Peter Rosenberg on Cheap Heat, Jey Uso joked that nobody told Travis Scott how to work, but wanted that he wouldn’t take anybody hitting him like that.
“Somebody ain’t tell him how to work—slap him. He probably too damn lit, I don’t know,” Jey Uso said. “Slap me like that? Oh no, hell no, man. I probably would have gone like— Dude hit me like Sheamus.”
Jey Uso Explains How He Learned What ‘Top Guy Speed’ Is In WWE
Uso spoke with Peter Rosenberg on Cheap Heat, and he discussed his experience working with Cena in the Royal Rumble match.
“I still learned in there with him because I was excited to go HAM,” Uso said. “Last two in there. He’s like, ‘Nah, man. Here’s what we’re going to do. Slow pace.’ In my mind, I’m like, ‘My bad. I’m learning too.’ That’s a different kind of speed in there. We came up with that term recently, we call it Top Guy Speed. That’s a term. Roman is the first one that told me when we were working during the pandemic era. That stuck with me,” said Jey.
“Instead of moving to the next thing, just lay there for a little minute until the crowd (rises) ‘This is awesome.’ A lot of homies want to move, and while they are moving, people are chanting, ‘This is awesome,’ but you’re moving. I’ll lay there and let the crowd go,” he said. “Once they come down, then we go. We have to be disciplined to sit still. It’s hard to sit still.
“You want to get up and do the next thing. Wait. Once they come down, now we get up, onto the next, boom, do it again, ‘this is awesome,’ do it again. You gotta do it in (the ring). You’re not going to learn it anywhere else. Only real ones know that. Cena, Randy [Orton], Roman [Reigns], Seth [Rollins], Drew [McIntyre].” (H/t Jeremy Lambert of Fightful for the transcription)
