Since detaching himself from The Bloodline, Jey Uso has established himself as one of the biggest stars in WWE. He transformed from tag team stalwart to main event sensation in no time. The YEET Master has been positioned as a singles star over the past two years and this push culminated in some major achievements that elevated him to the top of WWE.

However, a surprising event unfolded on RAW this week when fans saw the resurgence of The Usos. Jey's sudden move to the tag team division has left a void in the company's main event scene. There was already a scarcity of stars in the main-event picture and The YEET Master's transition has dealt a major blow, which WWE might now look to fill.

#3. Rusev

Ever since returning to the Stamford-based promotion, Rusev has been struggling on Monday Night RAW's mid-card scene. He has delivered some great matches in the past few months, proving that he is a main-event player. With Jey Uso moving to the tag team division, The Bulgarian could be the perfect replacement for him in WWE's main event scene.

The 39-year-old has everything it takes to be a world champion contender, whether it's delivering ruthless promos or giving great feuds. He has been desperately looking for a breakthrough ever since he arrived in WWE. Therefore, Triple H has a great opportunity to push Rusev as a top-tier star to fill the void Jey Uso has left.

#2. Aleister Black

Aleister Black is one of the many superstars whose potential has remained untapped under Triple H. The 40-year-old could suitably replace Jey Uso in WWE's main event scene if given the right push. Black has proven his top-tier credibility during his time as NXT Champion. However, he is currently stuck in SmackDown's mid-card scene.

It's high time WWE uses him as a prominent star in the Stamford-based promotion. Aleister Black has tremendous potential to evolve as a big player in WWE's chaotic landscape. His gothic supernatural persona gives him an edge to shine and stand out among others. There is no doubt that Black could become a credible main event star down the line.

#1. Sami Zayn can replace Jey Uso

Sami Zayn is one of the biggest stars currently in WWE. However, he has also been positioned in the mid-card on SmackDown. Now that Jey Uso has moved back to the tag team division, the company can easily bring Zayn to the forefront. The former Honorary Uce has sheer experience to be in the main event scene in the Stamford-based promotion.

He has battled high-profile stars and headlined WrestleMania as well. Therefore, Sami Zayn could just be the right guy to fill the void The YEET Master left behind in the top tier. Besides, the Canadian has been looking to win the world title for quite some time. Therefore, it provides WWE with another incredible opportunity to transition Zayn from mid-card to upper-card.
