“Main Event” Jey Uso Receives Stitches After Freak Chair Mishap at WrestlePalooza
What was meant to be a high‑stakes tag team showdown at WrestlePalooza 2025 turned into a visceral moment that left fans and commentators alike stunned—when “Main Event” Jey Uso accidentally split himself open and required stitches after a freak chair bounceback spot.
The match pitted The Usos (Jey and Jimmy) against The Vision (Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed). To add fuel to the fire, LA Knight served as special guest referee, giving the bout a chaotic, anything‑goes edge.
Near the climax, Jey delivered a chair shot to Breakker’s back as part of a planned spot. But the force and angle proved disastrous: the chair unexpectedly rebounded and struck Jey square in the forehead, instantly opening a deep cut. Blood began pouring down his face, instantly shifting the focus from storyline to medical concern.
Medical personnel rushed in, working quickly to staunch the bleeding as Jey remained in the ring while the match continued (though now under a more urgent spotlight). The finish came moments later: Breakker speared both Usos through a table, and Reed pinned Jey after delivering a tsunami splash.
Following the match, whispers of concussion protocol surfaced. Reports from sources such as Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez confirmed that Jey had been placed into WWE’s concussion protocol “as a requirement after any injury like this.” Meanwhile, Jey posted backstage, wrapping himself in a towel and captioning “I’m good” with a blood emoji, trying to reassure fans.
A later update showed Jey sporting stitches over the wound, proving that the cut had been serious enough to require suturing. Despite the severity, Jey was reportedly cleared to appear on the September 22 RAW, where he squared off with LA Knight—entering the ring with a bandage covering the laceration.
In true wrestling fashion, the injury has already become part of the narrative. Jey has leaned into the toughness angle, wearing his stitches like a badge of honor. Meanwhile, his tensions with Knight have only intensified, setting the stage for further conflict.
As of now, WWE has not issued an official medical confirmation beyond the concussion‑protocol status. Wrestling observers will be watching closely in the coming days—both for Jey’s physical recovery and for how the company weaves this incident into ongoing
storylines.
