Before his match at The Show of Shows, Main Event <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/jey-uso\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Jey Uso<\/a> is set to face Grayson Waller in a singles match this week on the red brand.<\/p>\n<p>Amid the recent developments in the Austin Theory-Grayson Waller storyline, it is quite possible that Theory will help Jey win the match, turning babyface for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few weeks, A-Town Down Under has been having backstage interactions with the former Intercontinental Champion on RAW and also unleashed an assault on the star last week. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/gunther\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Gunther <\/a>also lurking around, it has been a bit difficult for Jey Uso to take everyone down on his own.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-tagline top\" data-tab=\"top\">\n<p>Cody has no chance against John Cena?

If Gunther then comes out to attack Jey, the latter could take care of his WrestleMania opponent, with the odds being evened.<\/p>\n<h2>Rikishi gave a worrying update on Jey Uso ahead of WrestleMania<\/h2>\n<p>With WrestleMania 41 on the horizon, the schedule for every WWE Superstar has been packed. This has seemingly taken a toll on the Men&#8217;s Royal Rumble winner.<\/p>\n<p>On a recent edition of the <em>Off The Top <\/em>podcast, Rikishi addressed a meeting with his son and stated that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/news-rikishi-provides-worrying-update-jey-uso-ahead-wwe-wrestlemania-41\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">the former Intercontinental Champion looked quite exhausted because of his busy schedule<\/a> ahead of The Show of Shows.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;He just looked like he was exhausted. He\u2019s been on the run. While people are going home, he\u2019s doing extras out there on the road. That comes with the responsibility of being the main event of any pay-per-view, but the biggest pay-per-view of [all] WrestleMania,&#8221; he said.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\">                    <noscript><iframe title=\"\ud83d\udd25 EPISODE 51: HEEL TURNS, FAMILY DRAMA &amp; YEET MANIA HEAT! \ud83d\udd25\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kfQMQKsjqok?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"kfQMQKsjqok\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"370\" width=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/kfQMQKsjqok\/sddefault.jpg\" src-low=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/kfQMQKsjqok\/sddefault.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jey Uso has entered the main event picture as a singles star for the first time, and the response from the WWE Universe has been undoubtedly overwhelming.
