Why Jey Uso’s “Yeet” Catchphrase Faces Restrictions in WWE

Jey Uso’s recent solo stint on RAW has garnered significant attention, with his theme song, charisma, and crowd engagement style earning praise. However, a notable aspect of his persona, the use of the catchphrase “YEET,” appears to be encountering restrictions.

About Jey Uso’s Restrictions

The term “YEET” has become synonymous with Monday Night RAW, resonating with the audience whenever Jey Uso utters it. This catchphrase has even been echoed by other wrestlers, such as Cody Rhodes. Unfortunately for fans, recent rumors suggest that the use of “YEET” is facing limitations due to trademark issues.

It appears that the word “YEET” has been trademarked by a wrestler named Kasey Huffman from West Virginia. The reports surrounding licensing problems seem accurate, as WWE is unable to file a new trademark or incorporate it into new merchandise. Consequently, both the company and Jey Uso are distancing themselves from the catchphrase, effectively abandoning its usage.

In a recent championship match on RAW against Seth Rollins, Jey Uso dedicated the bout to the memory of the late WWE legend Umaga. Umaga, who is Jey Uso’s uncle, was a prominent heel in WWE during the late 2000s and held the Intercontinental Championship as one of the most dominant champions of that era.

Tragically, Umaga’s promising career was cut short when he passed away on December 4, 2009, due to acute toxicity, liver failure, and a fatal heart attack. Jey Uso, despite not emerging victorious against Seth Rollins, showcased a performance that undoubtedly honored his late uncle’s memory.
