Jey Uso is not letting criticisms of his latest victory dampen his spirits.

On Friday, Jey competed in the final first-round four-way match of the King of the Ring tournament to determine the last semi-finalist.

Oba Femi, Dominik Mysterio, and Je’Von Evans had already qualified, leaving Jey Uso, LA Knight, Royce Keys, and Finn Balor to fight it out for the final spot.

The last several weeks have seen tensions develop between LA Knight and The Usos, owing to the latter’s decision to again join hands with Roman Reigns, reviving The Bloodline.

Royce Keys faced a different challenge, with Solo Sikoa trying to recruit him into his My Family Tree (MFT) faction, where Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga are the existing members.

Finn Balor, meanwhile, competed in his first SmackDown match after being drafted from Raw earlier this month.

The four-way KOTR match saw Royce Keys dominate for the major duration before he was taken out of the equation after being sent through the commentator’s desk by his challengers.

The trio of Jey Uso, LA Knight, and Finn Balor then traded offenses to earn close pinfalls.

In the closing minutes, Solo Sikoa hit Knight with a Samoan Spike, causing him to relinquish his advantage. Keys, who returned to the match, laid out Knight with his Ultimate Spinebuster before pinning him.

However, Jey hit him with the Uso Splash and covered The Megastar for the win.

WWE fans have been banding together for LA Knight to be pushed since last year, but their demand has not been reciprocated.

Some of them took to social media to criticized WWE’s booking, claiming that Jey Uso did not deserve a place in the semi-finals of the King of the Ring tournament.

While one fan wrote, “Your program is dead. Jey Uso doesn’t deserve to advance,” another argued that LA Knight was a better alternative to Jey.

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

Jey was in no mood to let it slide, as he took to Instagram Stories, posting a snarky comment directed at his haters.
