Jey Uso is heading to the King of the Ring final after a big win on WWE SmackDown.
The June 19 episode took place at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri, as WWE continued building toward Night of Champions. With the premium live event set for June 27 in Riyadh, the blue brand had several important matches on the lineup.
One of the biggest matches of the night saw Jey Uso face Je’Von Evans in the King of the Ring semifinal. Oba Femi had already secured his place in the final by defeating Dominik Mysterio, leaving Jey and Evans to decide the other side of the bracket.
Jey made his entrance through the crowd and received a strong reaction from the Kansas City fans. Evans also had support from the crowd, as the Young OG continues to impress since arriving on the WWE main roster.
Evans put up another strong performance, but he could not score the major win he needed. Jey found a way to finish the match and punch his ticket to the King of the Ring final.
The victory gives Main Event Jey Uso another major opportunity on a big stage. His story has grown far beyond The Bloodline, and he now has a chance to add another career-defining moment in Saudi Arabia.
Jey will face Oba Femi at Night of Champions, with the King of the Ring crown on the line. The winner will also earn a world title opportunity at SummerSlam.
For Evans, the loss is a setback, but not a failure. He has continued to show why WWE sees major potential in him, even though SmackDown wasn’t his night.
For Jey, the road now leads to Riyadh. If he can defeat Oba Femi, he will leave Night of Champions with the crown and a guaranteed path to SummerSlam.
