Jey Uso opens the event to a standing ovation, just like he did last Monday, and thanks all the love he’s received for winning the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble Match . However, Jey is here to talk to his friend, Cody Rhodes , who makes his entrance next. The two are here to discuss WrestleMania 41. Jey Uso only has two options: he can go after Cody Rhodes, which would mean a lot to him… or he could stand by Cody’s side as he retains the WWE Championship while Jey goes on to capture the World Heavyweight Title.
Cody Rhodes recalls being WWE Tag Team Champion alongside Jey Uso and creating some great moments. But just as important is Jey’s decision, as is Cody’s goal to retain the gold, even if he faces him in the main event of WrestleMania. Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso shake hands in respect, before being interrupted by Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga. Fatu says Cody took the WWE Title from his family; but from now on, Jacob makes it clear that his family needs the championship back. This leads Jacob Fatu to Jey Uso… brand new winner of the 2025 Royal Rumble… “cousin, make no mistake, if anyone’s gonna bring that title back to the family, it sure ain’t gonna be your ass .” Jey Uso goes on the attack, sparking a brief brawl. Cody is smarting from his injured elbow after the Royal Rumble, but, alongside Jey, they manage to push Fatu & Tonga back.
