This ownership could potentially lead to legal issues for Uso due to his ongoing use of the word. Although the matter can be settled in a civil court it may result in a loss of a huge sum of money amounting up to $2 million. It may also contain jail time if the matter goes towards a federal court.
Hence, WWE started avoiding the usage of the catchphrase to avoid any legal troubles. It was evident during the episode of RAW on 4th December when WWE blurred Jey Uso’s white vest which had the word Yeet.
Despite all the troubles, WWE and their superstars were confident that they would get a hold of the catchphrase.

Jey Uso responded with a smile that was a sign of confidence that he would get his catchphrase back.
A former Bloodline member was invited to an interview with Daily Mail UK recently where he was asked about the restriction on his favourite catchphrase. He hilariously responded by saying the word again. It showed confidence that he would get back his Yeet catchphrase. He said, “Yeah man, they trying to shut my yeet down. We’ll get past that, though. I’m still going to be out there yeeting.”
