Jey Uso is one of WWE's breakout stars over the past year, winning the Royal Rumble and the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41. Now, a Hall of Famer has tipped a 37-year-old star as the next Main Event Jey and breakout candidate.

One of the biggest storylines on RAW these past few weeks is The Kabuki Warriors making life hell for IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley. Asuka and Kairi Sane have been inflicting damage to The Genius of the Sky and The Eradicator for two weeks in a row. Speaking on the latest episode of Busted Open Radio, Bubba Ray Dudley couldn't help but wonder if Sane was going to be the breakout star from this current storyline.

The role of The Pirate Princess is similar to Jey Uso's during his time with The Bloodline and under the influence of Roman Reigns. But in this scenario, the 37-year-old appears to be doing things she doesn't want to but cannot seem to disobey Asuka's orders.

"I like the diverseness of the characters that they're carving out amongst IYO [SKY] and Asuka and Kairi [Sane]. I'm liking the story. It's a good little soap opera. Obviously, Rhea [Ripley] included, too. Asuka is playing her part very, very well. Kairi is doing a great job. Kairi could be the shining star in this whole thing. She could be the Jey Uso of this story, the breakout star of the story," Bubba Ray said.

Jey Uso would eventually break off from Roman Reigns and The Bloodline by transferring to RAW. His popularity began to grow during his tag team stint with Cody Rhodes following the birth of the Yeet movement.


Roman Reigns saves Jimmy and Jey Uso on RAW

During the Tornado Tag Team match between The Usos (Jey and Jimmy Uso) and the Brons (Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker) this past Monday on RAW, The Vision were not going down easily. They attacked the twins and were about to demolish them before Roman Reigns returned after a month-long absence and helped them win the no disqualification bout.

The Tribal Chief brought a steel chair and used it on both Breakker and Reed. He was ruthless like his old self, sending a message to The Vision. He then went to Jey and gave him a pep talk about not letting anyone bring him down. Jimmy was looking nervously as his worst fears appeared to be taking shape.

Before the OTC's return, Jimmy had warned his brother about slowly turning into their cousin, The Tribal Chief, which was the reason he gave for costing Jey the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at SummerSlam two years ago.
