Top three reasons why Jey Uso attacked CM Punk on WWE RAW (August 25, 2025)

The Yeet Man superkicked the Best in the World on this week’s WWE RAW!

The August 25 edition of WWE RAW delivered one of the most shocking betrayals of the summer. In the main event, Jey Uso blindsided CM Punk with a superkick, breaking apart their alliance just days before Clash in Paris.

What began as a united front against LA Knight quickly collapsed, leaving Punk stunned and Jey standing tall inside the ring as Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker and Paul Heyman looked amused by the fallout in the closing moments.

The unexpected turn on the go-home show has raised plenty of questions within the WWE Universe. Fans were left wondering why Jey would take out someone who had been his closest ally on the red brand. As always in WWE, the answer could lie in a mixture of loyalty, strategy, and a shift in character.

3. Roman Reigns’ warning echoed loud and clear

Earlier in the night, Roman Reigns made a rare appearance backstage, advising Jey that Punk could not be trusted.

The Tribal Chief’s words seemed to linger, planting seeds of doubt in The YEET Master’s mind. By the time the main event reached its boiling point, Jey may have decided to follow his cousin’s advice rather than risk betrayal himself.

2. The first sign of a heel turn?

Perhaps the most intriguing angle is whether WWE is preparing Jey for a full-fledged heel turn. He’s been a fan favorite for over a year, but Monday’s superkick could mark the beginning of a darker chapter.

With Roman whispering in his ear and the stakes higher than ever, Jey could be rediscovering the ruthless edge that once made him one of the most dangerous men in WWE.
