Jey Uso has now responded after a ton of backlash followed his advancement in the King of the Ring tournament.
Following the end of SmackDown, Jey Uso took to his Instagram Story after fans criticized his King of the Ring tournament win on SmackDown. Instead of clapping back with a long message, he brushed off the noise with one short line: “Man ya’ll love me”
The response came after Uso defeated LA Knight, Finn Balor, and Royce Keys in a chaotic Fatal Four-Way first-round match on the June 12 edition of SmackDown. The match featured outside interference from Solo Sikoa, several near falls, a Shield-style powerbomb through the announce table, and Uso finally getting the win with a splash.
Fans immediately took to Twitter after the match, with many arguing that LA Knight or Finn Balor should have advanced instead. One fan wrote: “Your program is dead. Jey Uso doesn’t deserve to advance.” Another fan complained about WWE continuing to push Jey and argued that LA Knight was the better choice.
“Why the f*** are they still pushing jey all he does is super kick people change his song and want it played over and over, when are WWE going to realise what’s best for business, and everybody’s saying L.A NIGHT…… YEAH”
Uso’s reaction made it clear he isn’t bothered by the online outrage. If anything, he seems to see the criticism as proof that fans are still paying attention. Jey Uso is moving forward in the King of the Ring tournament, and whether fans love it or hate it, he’s clearly enjoying the reaction.
