Jey Uso’s Elimination Chamber Qualifier Win Flooded with Dislikes on YouTube

Jey Uso officially secured the final spot in the 2026 Men’s Elimination Chamber match on the February 23 episode of WWE RAW — but the online reaction tells a very different story.

After defeating Bronson Reed and El Grande Americano in a triple threat match to qualify, WWE uploaded the highlight to its official YouTube channel. What followed was a ton of backlash.

At the time of writing, the video showing Jey Uso qualifying has drawn 163,000 views — but the engagement numbers are lopsided. The clip is currently sitting at 72.6% dislikes, with over 14,000 dislikes compared to just 5,300 likes. That ratio paints a clear picture of how a significant portion of the online audience is responding to Jey’s latest push.

The RAW match itself saw Jey capitalize after Reed appeared injured mid-bout. Following a pause where the referee checked on Reed, Jey connected with his splash to secure the win and punch his ticket to the Chamber. On paper, it was a straightforward qualification victory. However, the YouTube numbers clearly show frustration among viewers.

Some fans have not forgotten the strong reactions that followed Jey Uso walking out of WrestleMania 41 as WWE World Heavyweight Champion, nor the criticism when he received another World Title opportunity against CM Punk. The current dislike surge made it clear that skepticism toward his positioning near the top of the card may still be very much alive.

While YouTube metrics don’t always represent the entire fanbase, a 72.6% dislike ratio on an official WWE upload is difficult to ignore.

Do you think the backlash is justified, or is Jey Uso’s push being unfairly criticized? Let us know your take below.
