CM Punk walked out of Saturday Night’s Main Event as the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, but it was Jey Uso’s emotional reaction after the match that had fans talking.
Following his loss, Jey Uso was seen sitting on the floor beside the barricade, clearly crushed. Social media clips captured him looking dazed and furious, staring off in disbelief as CM Punk’s victory music played in the background. He slowly pulled down his knee pads in frustration, showing the physical and emotional weight of the defeat.
Uso gave it everything in the match. He started hot, landing a hard spear and nearly getting the win with a top-rope Uso Splash. But Punk stayed in it, dodged a GTS attempt from Uso, delivered a spear of his own, and then hit a series of Go To Sleeps to finally secure the pinfall and claim the vacant title.
The camera didn’t cut away. Fans saw Jey Uso stay in the corner, isolated and heartbroken, soaking in the moment after coming up short in one of the biggest matches of his career.
There was no post-match promo, no interference, just one man processing the weight of what he lost. And that quiet moment hit harder than any storyline twist could have.
