WATCH: Jey Uso Notices Rhea Ripley Noticing Him

That got his attention. There are several top stars in WWE these days but there are some who get even more attention no matter what they do. These stars capture the fans’ imaginations and it can be interesting to see them interacting with each other. That was the case this week, though it was in a segment when the two people involved were not even together.

One of the bigger stories currently taking place on Monday Night Raw is seeing the Judgment Day attempting to recruit Jey Uso. This week’s Monday Night Raw included a backstage segment with Finn Balor speaking to Uso. During the segment, Uso did not seem interested until Balor mentioned that Rhea Ripley was a fan of his. This comes after Ripley attempted to recruit Uso onto the team earlier this month. There is no word on if Uso is expected to join the team.

Yes for real. Check out the Balor/Uso segment (the Ripley mention is at around 45 seconds) plus more of Uso’s recent efforts:

Opinion: That is quite the influence, as you can see how big of a deal Ripley really is at the moment. She is one of the top stars in all of WWE at the moment and it is rather telling that even Uso, who is a star in his own right, is interested by a mention of her name. I’m curious to see where this is going, and the more that Ripley is involved in the whole thing, the more interesting it should be.
