In WWE history, few moments have captured the hearts of fans quite like **Kofimania** in 2019. The improbable rise of **Kofi Kingston** to WWE Championship glory at **WrestleMania 35** was the ultimate underdog story—one fueled by fan support, resilience, and years of hard work. Fast forward to 2024, and **Jey Uso** is experiencing a similar wave of momentum, dubbed **Yeetmania**, as he heads toward his biggest WrestleMania yet.
However, according to **The New Day**, there is no comparison. **Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and Big E** firmly believe that **Kofimania’s legacy is untouchable** and that **Jey Uso will ultimately crumble under the WrestleMania pressure**. But why do they hold this belief? Let’s break it down.
## **The Legacy of Kofimania: A True Underdog Triumph**
Before discussing **Jey Uso’s WrestleMania road**, it’s crucial to revisit what made **Kofimania** so special.
**A 11-Year Journey** – Kofi Kingston’s rise wasn’t an overnight success. He spent over a decade in WWE, often overlooked, before finally getting his moment.
**Overwhelming Fan Support** – WWE Universe organically rallied behind Kofi, forcing WWE to book his historic title chase.
**Gauntlet Match Heroics** – Kofi proved his worth in grueling Gauntlet matches that showcased his determination.
**WrestleMania 35 Victory** – Defeating **Daniel Bryan** for the WWE Championship was a true underdog moment, solidifying his place in history.
According to **Xavier Woods**, **Jey Uso’s journey simply doesn’t compare** because it lacks the same struggle and depth.
## **Yeetmania: Jey Uso’s Rise to WrestleMania Glory**
There’s no denying that **Jey Uso** has emerged as one of WWE’s top babyfaces after **breaking away from The Bloodline**. His **“Yeet” movement** has resonated with fans, but The New Day questions whether it holds **the same cultural and emotional weight as Kofimania**.
### **
Jey Uso’s Success is More Recent**
Unlike Kofi, who waited **over a decade** for his main event moment, Jey’s push **only started in 2020** when he feuded with Roman Reigns. He’s had a remarkable singles run, but **his rise to the top feels much faster and less organic** compared to Kofi’s.
### **
Jey Wasn’t Overlooked Like Kofi**
Kofi was constantly seen as a **mid-card act** who would never break the glass ceiling. Meanwhile, **Jey Uso had already been a multiple-time Tag Team Champion** and was part of one of WWE’s most dominant factions, The Bloodline.
### **
Can Jey Handle WrestleMania Pressure?**
The New Day believe that while Jey has had big matches before, **he’s never carried an event like Kofi did** at WrestleMania 35. They predict that **the pressure of WrestleMania will break Jey**, leading to a devastating loss on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
As **Big E** put it:
> _“Jey’s been great, but when the bright lights hit, will he deliver? Kofi had the world against him, and he thrived. Can Jey say the same?”_

## **Will Jey Uso Crumble at WrestleMania?**
While **Yeetmania is running wild**, The New Day insist that Jey Uso **isn’t ready to carry the torch at WrestleMania**. The pressure, the moment, and the expectations may be too much for him to handle.
If The New Day is right, Jey Uso could fall short in his **biggest test yet**, proving that **Kofimania’s legacy remains unmatched** in modern WWE history.
