For wrestling fans, excitement is building forWrestleMania 42, which takes place this weekend in Las Vegas. The annual spectacle is filled with interesting matchups, headlined by bouts that include title matches pitting reigning heavyweight champions CM Punk and Cody Rhodes against challengers Roman Reigns and Randy Orton respectively.
There is also that colossal clash between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi that most are anxiously looking forward to. With a stacked card, does the WWE need more hype heading into Vegas this weekend?
Any form of drama inserted into any of the matches will likely be welcome. However, a recent incident involvingJey Uso during a podcasthas raised questions. Was it part of the WrestleMania 42 hype?

This is in reference to Uso's appearance on the 'It Is What It Is' podcast on Thursday, 16 April. From the start, tension was felt. In fact in the early part of that show, Jey Uso muttered the following words directed Cam'ron's way: 'Feel somethin' over here,' after which the rapper responded by saying, 'We all good.'
Initially the podcast appeared to be running smoothly with Uso sharing highlights of his career, including his latest gimmick of involving the fans each time he comes out.
However, the huge twist came when the many-time tag team champion was asked where he ranked among Samoan professional wrestlers. But the climax of that exchange came when Uso admitted he was not above his cousin Roman Reigns. Cam'ron rubbed it in by saying: 'Yeah, 'coz you're not...my bad.'
When Ma$e followed that up by asking Uso if he felt he ranked above The Rock, Cam'ron cut in once more by saying: 'We ain't got no time for lies uce.'
At that point, Uso was obviously uneasy and looked a bit irritated. After answering those questions as conservatively as he could, the subsequent questions and opinions of Ma$e and Cam'ron visibly frustrated the WWE superstar.
With Cam'ron making it look like he was trying to get something out of the guesting which was apparently headed nowhere, Uso asked if they wanted him there in the first place. The rapper offered a sarcastic response, saying 'You're here right? Let's stick to the script.'
