Jey Uso Fires Back At WWE Fans Who Are Against Him
The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Jey Uso has a message for fans who constantly criticize him.
Jey Uso has seen an amazing rise as a singles star following the memorable Bloodline storyline from 2020 to 2024. Fans got behind him, and he was rewarded with a Royal Rumble win last year. Jey also went on to defeat Gunther to win the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41.
Although he transitioned to being a tag team wrestler earlier this year, Jey Uso is back to being a top singles star, as he has reached the final of this year’s King of the Ring tournament. Jey will take on Oba Femi in the final at Night of Champions 2026. Many fans on the internet have expressed their displeasure with Jey being constantly pushed into the main event scene.
Jey Uso fires back at his haters
In an interview with Jackie Redmond during the Night of Champions 2026 countdown, Jey Uso said he doesn’t care about the fans and also addressed being in the most disliked WWE videos on social media:
You wanna be honest? I really don’t care about the fans no more, because when I was doing my thing, they saw all the hate. I can’t miss it, it’s all in my face. Social media, whatever it is, when my name pops up, I see it out there.”
Most disliked video on WWE social media platforms, look it up Uce. Like 5,6, 10 videos out there. It’s all good, if anything that lit a fire under me. All the noise, all the opinions, it is what it is because that’s part of the job.”
Jey Uso also said that he could be the most loved or most hated wrestler, but his haters are still watching him:
I do (think he’s beloved by the fans). I take it back, it’s 50/50, I’m confused. Pulling me left and right, I yeet, I talk crap, I’m me now. My day ones know who they are, but there was a lot of people that did doubt me, still doubting me now.”
I will either be the most loved or the most hated wrestler on planet Earth. (I don’t care). At the end of the day they’re still watching me. Whether it be good news or bad news, it’s still news.” [H/T WrestleTalk]
It will be interesting to see if Jey Uso ends up winning the King of the Ring tournament at Night of Champions 2026.
