At WWE Backlash on May 4, 2024, Jey Uso was greeted by a sea of Bray Wyatt-esque fireflies during his match with Damian Priest.

While Uso was unsuccessful in becoming the new WWE Heavyweight Champion, he was emotional about the presence of the fireflies, a constant during Bray Wyatt’s time in the company.

During a recent appearance on the Battleground Podcast, Uso revealed the validating message he received from Wyatt’s wife, JoJo, saying:

“I think the most I was validated was his wife, JoJo, Bray Wyatt’s wife, had text me and just said how much she was emotional watching me.

“She saw clips of it, and that let me know right there – alright Imma keep it. I hope it sticks with me man.

“I never asked for it. They did it and I just wanna keep it with me now.”
