Jey Uso will headline this Sunday’s Clash of Champions pay-per-view in a universal championship match against Roman Reigns.
And no one is more surprised by that than Uso.
Announced as the surprise replacement for Big E on the Sept. 4 edition of SmackDown, Uso won the four-way match against Baron Corbin, Matt Riddle and Sheamus to become the new top contender for Reigns’s title. Uso hit a frog splash on Riddle for the win, but the best moment occurred after the show went off the air. As WWE’s crew was pulling the plug on the ThunderDome for the evening, Uso remained in the ring, with a look of sheer awe on his face, seemingly unable to grasp the enormity of his new place on the card.
