WWE Update: Jey Uso responds to Jason Momoa's critique
Yo, let's chat about the beef between Jason Momoa and WWE's Jey Uso! Now, for those who might be out of the loop, Jey Uso is one of WWE's heavyweight champs, recognized by his fierce tribal tattoos and Samoan heritage.
The drama started during press rounds for WWE's Clash of Clans collaboration, when Uso got asked about a moment with Momoa during the promotions for Minecraft Movie. Remember, Momoa played a character in that movie with some serious "Macho Man" vibes, if you catch my drift.
Momoa, being a bit clueless, stumbled when he was asked about Uso, saying he didn't recognize the wrestling star. Uso, being the champion he is, fired back, "Ain't none of that Aquaman stuff going on here, Uce. And I ain't seen none of them movies, how about that?"
Now, this isn't Momoa's first brush with WWE. Back when the rumors of him stepping into the ring were swirling, Damian Priest thought he'd make a fantastic wrestler. As for a potential face-off with Uso, it'd surely be must-see television!
Uso, born on August 22, 1985, is a crucial part of the legendary Anoa'i wrestling family. He first shone as a tag team with his brother, Jimmy, winning no less than 10 Tag Team Championships together. Famously, they held the SmackDown Tag Team Championship for an astounding 622 days.
In 2023, Uso ventured into singles competition and scored his first major win at 2021's André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. He then ascended to World Heavyweight Champion status in 2025 by defeating Gunther at WrestleMania 41. Quite the journey for a guy who started out saying he hadn't even watched Momoa's movies!
