Huge WWE Babyface Is Allegedly Set For Heel Turn

Babyface Jey Uso has been teasing a heel turn for what feels like forever, and the WWE Universe is seriously buzzing about it.

For months now, WWE has dropped hints here and there, like when Jey accidentally betrayed his own brother Jimmy during the Battle Royal to become the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. These moments have made people wonder if Uso’s about to flip the script and embrace a darker side.

The latest fuel to the speculation fire came after Uso’s high-stakes match against CM Punk at Saturday Night’s Main Event on October 1st, 2025. Main event Jey Uso fought like a beast, pulling off spears and even sending Punk through a barricade, but in the end, Punk got the win with a brutal back-to-back Go To Sleep finishers.

After the match, Jey Uso’s emotions spilled over on Instagram with a cryptic “Y’all win” post paired with a middle finger emoji. It was clear the loss hit him hard and maybe it was also a warning sign that a heel turn might be brewing behind the scenes. At least, it’s what WWE legend Tom Carlucci thinks.

“He’s going to be a heel, Coach. Even that tweet he put out… Yeah, I think he’s definitely turning heel big time, Coach for Jey Uso. And what is he going to do? Are they going to put him up against his brother or anything like that? I don’t know what’s next for him, man,” Carlucci said on Behind The Turnbuckle podcast. (From 39:19)
