That Time Jey Uso Randomly Sniffed Becky Lynch’s Hair on Camera
Wrestling is a world where unexpected things happen — from surprise betrayals to improbable title wins — but few moments have left fans as amused, confused, and collectively saying, “Wait, what just happened?” as that time Jey Uso randomly sniffed Becky Lynch’s hair on camera.
It all went down in the middle of a backstage segment. The vibe was typical WWE: a chaotic mixture of promos, alliances, and tension brewing between Raw’s biggest stars. Becky Lynch, ever the fiery and focused “Man,” was standing tall, delivering her signature intensity. And then, in the background — like something out of a surreal sketch comedy bit — Jey Uso casually leaned in and… sniffed her hair.
No buildup. No explanation. Just a completely spontaneous olfactory curiosity from one-half of the Uso brothers. The moment lasted maybe two seconds, but in the digital age, that was more than enough for it to become meme gold.
The internet reacted immediately. Fans clipped the moment, slowed it down, added dramatic music, and turned it into a thousand TikToks and Twitter threads. Some called it weird, others called it iconic, and many simply labeled it “Peak WWE.” To be fair, Jey’s character — especially in the “Yeet” era — has been one of unpredictability and emotional chaos. Maybe it was in character. Maybe it was an accident. Or maybe he just really liked the way Becky’s shampoo smelled that day.
Even Becky couldn’t keep a straight face. In a later interview, she brushed it off with a laugh, saying “That’s just Jey being Jey,” which only added to the hilarity. WWE never officially addressed it, which somehow made it even better — like an inside joke among the fans that the company just let live on in silence.
In a world where promos are scripted down to the syllable, there’s something charmingly human about a moment like this — strange, unfiltered, and completely unforgettable.
Because sometimes, it’s not the championship wins or five-star matches we remember the most. Sometimes, it’s the absurdity — like Jey Uso sniffing Becky Lynch’s hair — that makes WWE what it is: weird, wonderful, and endlessly enter
taining.
