Main Event Jey responds after backlash over SmackDown tournament win
Summary
– Jey Uso responded to fans criticizing his King of the Ring semifinal win
– Uso called out haters after his win over Je’Von Evans drew heavy backlash online
– Jey will face Oba Femi in the King of the Ring final at Night of Champions
Jey Uso heard the criticism after advancing to the King of the Ring final, and he had no problem firing back.
The backlash started after Jey defeated Je’Von Evans on the June 19 episode of WWE SmackDown. The win sent Jey to the King of the Ring final at Night of Champions, where he will face Oba Femi.
Many fans were upset with the result because Evans has been gaining momentum since arriving on the main roster. Some viewers felt the Young OG needed the breakout win more than Jey.
After WWE uploaded the match clip to YouTube, the reaction became even louder. The video drew far more dislikes than likes, showing just how divided fans were over the result.
Jey responded on his Instagram Story and made it clear he was not bothered by the hate.
“Yall really love me now? Watch when I beat Oba. The more u hate on me, The more broke u stay”
The response showed Jey leaning into the criticism instead of backing away from it. He has become one of WWE’s most popular stars, but his latest tournament win clearly did not land well with everyone.
Some fans ripped the decision online, arguing that Evans should have advanced instead. Others criticized Jey’s in-ring work and questioned WWE’s decision to put him in the spotlight again.
Still, WWE is moving forward with Jey in the final. His match against Oba Femi at Night of Champions is now attracting even more attention due to the backlash.
The winner of the King of the Ring tournament will earn the crown and a world title opportunity at SummerSlam. That makes the final one of the biggest matches on the June 27 card in Riyadh.
Jey appears ready to use the negative reaction as motivation. Whether fans are cheering or criticizing him, Main Event Jey is now one win away from becoming King of the Ring.
