3 Reasons Jey Uso needs to go on a losing streak in WWE

Jey Uso is at a crucial juncture in his WWE career. The 40-year-old superstar has had a tumultuous time inside and outside the ring of late. From being a World Heavyweight Champion to almost a nobody in the roster, Jey's graph in WWE has only come down in the past six months.

The frustration of all this was visible on his face after his loss to LA Knight on RAW this week. That was the semi-final of the Last Time is Now tournament, which Jey Uso desperately wanted to win. However, LA Knight outsmarted him in a matter of seconds to win the match.

However, it's also imperative for Jey to get these losses to move ahead from his Yeet personality. These back-to-back losses can also eventually help Jey's career in WWE.

In this listicle, we will discuss three reasons why Jey Uso needs to go on a losing streak.

#3 To finally turn heel

Jey is on the verge of turning heel, but hasn't turned one. He has been exhibiting heel vibes for the past few weeks, but the company hasn't pulled the trigger on his character yet. He has been a babyface for the past two years now. It helped boost his prospects in WWE, even elevating him as a main event superstar, but it's not giving any dividends so far.

Jey Uso needs a heel turn for the second time in his career, and these losses will lead him to that. Therefore, in the next few episodes of RAW, he should be booked to lose crucial matches and even on PLEs, which could justify his heel turn.

#2 To prompt Rikishi's WWE return

WWE legend Rikishi has been critical of his son's poor booking in WWE. The Hall of Famer had slammed the WWE creative team for making Jey Uso lose the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on RAW, just within three months of winning it at WrestleMania 41.

Apart from that, there have also been rumors of Rikishi making his return to WWE, as manager of The Usos. Although the 60-year-old WWE legend hasn't made his comments on Jey's recent losses, a string of losses from here can trigger Rikishi's response.

He can even return to WWE as Jey's manager. It can either happen with Jey turning heel and Rikishi coming along to help him, or Rikishi can return to mentor Jey and get him back on track.

#1 To get Jey Uso off TV

Jey Uso also needs a couple of losses to vanish from WWE for a while and return after a gap of nearly two or three months. That would rejuvenate his body and mind. He has been actively performing in the company for the past two years. He has performed in all the big PLEs even after losing the title.

To be written off from TV, Jey needs to go on a losing streak. After back-to-back losses, he can cut a promo, saying that he was done and was now leaving the company. And then, Jey can return after a gap of a few months in a all new character and mindset.
