WWE Payback 2023 is turning out to be one of the greatest PLEs of the year. With consistent bangers after another, WWE provided another surprising treat to their fans. A few weeks ago, when The Bloodline family drama had almost reached its boiling point, main-event Jey Uso quit WWE and left after being frustrated.
However, at Payback 2023, before Rhea Ripley versus Raquel Rodriguez could begin, Cody Rhodes would appear on the Grayson Waller effect, and announce the return of Jey Uso. The shocking return of the former right-hand man of The Tribal Chief would send the crowd roaring.

Jey Uso would make his return to WWE amidst massive cheers from the crowd. With a new look, new gear, and new theme, Uso seemed fresh and happy to begin a new start. The 38-year-old would make himself down to the ring, and share a segment with Grayson Waller.
However, things would soon go haywire, as the former tag team champion knocked out Rhea Ripley‘s compatriot Grayson Waller out cold. Jey Uso delivered a brutal superkick to Waller to have him lying on the floor.

He would then make his way onto the turnbuckles and soak in the cheers from the crowd, as Cody Rhodes would admire the man, main-event Jey Uso from the stage. While he was gone for only three weeks, his return seemed and popped bigger than any other return.
As soon as Uso returned, fans would go crazy. Here are some reactions:
