WWE Heavyweight Champion and “Main Event” star Jey Uso recently sat down with NY Times and COTXAPI to share the 10 essentials that define his life on the road, in the ring, and off the clock. From custom wrestling gear to deeply personal keepsakes, Jey lets fans into his world—full of memories, meaning, and, of course, Yeet energy.
1. Journal for Mental Clarity
While constantly on the move through airports and arenas, Jey keeps a personal journal to help him stay grounded. Each page features a thought-provoking question—like “How well do I handle uncertainty in life?”—giving him time to reflect and keep his mind sharp between matches. “What goes on in my head goes on the paper,” he shares.
2. Sunglasses (Even Indoors)
A nod to wrestling icon Bret Hart, Jey is rarely seen without his sunglasses—even when visibility suffers. “I wear them indoors all the time—I can’t see a thing outta these,” he jokes. His customized Ray-Bans, complete with a “No Yeet” message from his brother Jimmy, are now part of his signature style.
3. The Iconic “Yeet” Chain
A custom WrestleMania gift from a close friend, the flashy “Yeet” chain is more than just bling—it’s a cultural marker. Jey explains how “Yeet” was always part of his vocabulary growing up but gained mainstream traction after a memorable press conference with Cody Rhodes. Now, it's his personal battle cry.
4. Gaming Laptop for Life on the Road
Forget consoles—Jey travels the globe with his gaming laptop, making it one of his top essentials. Whether it’s Call of Duty, Tekken, or FIFA, Jey stays connected to his favorite games wherever he is. “My back hurt all the time from carrying my team,” he laughs.
5. Bose Noise-Canceling Headphones
Whether he's blocking out Jimmy Uso's snores or zoning in before a match, Bose headphones are Jey’s go-to. His playlists span from Young Jeezy and Kendrick Lamar to early 2000s Usher—a mix that helps him stay focused and calm before stepping into the ring.
6. Main Event Wrestling Gear
Nicknamed “Main Event Jey Uso” during the pandemic era by commentators like Michael Cole, Jey’s wrestling gear is a reflection of his rise to solo stardom. Created by designer Serat, the gear features bold colors and bedazzled accents, making it some of his favorite attire yet. His gear archive now lives in a “museum-like” basement at home.
7. Nike Air Force 1s
No wrestling boot for Jey—he wrestles in Air Force 1s, a tradition going back years. “Me and my brother have been wrestling in them for a long time,” he says. Whether clean or bloodstained (“That’s Seth Rollins’ blood”), Jey buys a fresh pair weekly. “Nike, hook it up!”
8. WWE World Heavyweight Championship Belt
Jey proudly carries the World Heavyweight Title, complete with customized blue side plates. Though a hassle to travel with (“TSA always pulls it out”), the belt symbolizes a lifelong dream realized. “It’s not just me—this is me and Jimmy’s hard work,” Jey shares. He’s the fourth member of his family to hold it.
9. His Phone—But Not Always
Although constantly buzzing, Jey admits that losing his phone for two weeks was one of the best things that happened. “I felt present,” he says. He’s even considering a flip phone for simplicity. Sometimes, detachment can be refreshing.
10. Twin Brother Jimmy Uso
Saving the best for last, Jimmy Uso tops the list. “15 years on the road together—it’s a blessing,” Jey says. While the two are on different brands now, they reminisce about their brotherhood, tag team legacy, and possibly reuniting in the future. “Usos on another tag run? For sure,” Jimmy confirms. “But right now? Jey’s the champ.”
Bonus: Retirement Plans & Legacy
Both brothers reflect on their future, the grind of professional wrestling, and life after WWE. “I wanna get out of the game when I wanna get out,” Jey says. “We’re turning 40. It takes longer to heal now.” With legends like Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton still competing, the Uso twins are inspired to keep pushing—while also eyeing a well-earned rest.
Final Word: Yeet
Whether it's Air Force 1s, a journal full of thoughts, or a championship belt that turns heads at TSA, Jey Uso’s essentials represent the balance between hard work, heritage, and humor. As he continues his reign as WWE World Heavyweight Champion, one word echoes above all:
Yeet.
