Roman Reigns Comments on Being Proud of Jey Uso For Being Able to Break Through as a Star

Friday’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show featured Roman Reigns as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Reigns thoughts about Jey Uso being able to break through as a big star in WWE.

“I can’t even put it in words. It’s not easy being a twin. I’m raising [twins] and I’ve watched [The Usos] their whole lives compete. I’ve competed with them. Jey, our entire lives, has been a little bit of the runt. If there is one that is a little percent down, Jim has always been that guy too. To see Jey being able to break through these barriers and push through the ceiling, now he understands me a little better. You talk to him after Saturday and he’s going to understand the elevation a little better. He probably already does. I’m sure he’s been busy as hell this whole week. I’m so proud of him. Family is family. We’re going to have disagreements and we’re going to butt heads here and there, but at the end of the day, I want my family healthy and I want them here a long time being very successful and that’s exactly what he’s doing. Yeet.”
