Jey Uso seemingly turned heel last Monday on RAW after losing to LA Knight in the semifinal of The Last Time Is Now Tournament. The latest report suggests that there were plans in place for a Bloodline member before it was temporarily sidetracked for one major reason.
Last Monday on RAW, "Main Event" Jey had the match won, but Knight caught him with a Crucifix Pin counter. The Yeet Master couldn't contain his frustration and crashed out in front of a huge crowd at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
While it's unclear if it was a heel turn, Jey Uso's twin brother, Jimmy Uso, was supposed to have a massive project with the San Francisco Giants. Jimmy was reportedly scheduled to have a collaboration with the MLB franchise regarding some merchandise, as per Wrestlevotes Radio on Fightful Select.
It would have led to a possible crossover between WWE and MLB, but the deal was temporarily held off because Survivor Series: WarGames was held at Petco Park in San Diego. For those unaware, the Giants and Padres are rival MLB teams.

Jimmy and Jey Uso were born in San Francisco, California. They grew up playing sports and supported all the teams based in the city. While Jey is more popular, Jimmy's gear is sports-based, so it makes sense for the SF Giants to collaborate with him and represent the team in WWE.
Jey Uso makes plea to fans about their conduct in public
There's no denying that despite how much hate Jey Uso gets on social media, he's still a very popular WWE Superstar. Jey still gets an entire arena to "yeet" during his entrance, and his latest plea proves he has a lot of fans.
In a post on his Instagram stories, Jey pleaded with fans to not poke or touch him in public.
"IF U SEE ME in public shi, please don’t walk up and poke me or touch me. How many strangers poke yall a** in a day? Bout 38 for me…," Jey wrote. [H/T Bleacher Report]
While wild fan interactions come with the territory of being a popular public figure, they're still human beings that need their own space even when outside. Jey isn't the first person to call out fans for harassment in a public setting.
