Bully Ray Isn’t Surprised Jey Uso Lost the Title So Quickly

– During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray reacted to Gunther beating Jey Uso to regain the World Heavyweight Championship earlier this week on WWE. Bully Ray said he wasn’t surprised that Jey Uso lost the title in less than two months. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Bully Ray on Jey Uso’s quick title loss: “No, I’m not [surprised he lost the title so soon]. Jey Uso, to me, was about the build. Jey broke out of the tag team with his brother, Jey became an integral part of the storyline within the Bloodline, Jey stood up to Roman [Reigns]. Jey carved out his own path within the story. Jey was getting over with the fans, creative and Jey were coming together to make things work. Nobody broke Jey Uso off from his brother and said, ‘We’re pushing Jey to the moon, we’re going to make this guy a world champion.’ This is one of those things that just happened.”

On how he thinks there was never a big plan for Uso as World Champion: “The fans are what did that [pushed Jey]. Yeah, they had good creative for Jey, but Jey went out there and nailed everything that he did, and the fans got behind him. Then creative goes, ‘Oh wow, we’ve gotta listen up here. We’ve got to do something with this guy. So there was never this big plan for Jey to become the World Heavyweight Champion until one day everybody got together in creative and one guy said, ‘You know something, we might be able to put the strap on this kid.'”

Gunther ended Jey Uso’s title run at 51 days.
