Jey Uso Addresses Criticism Of His WWE Men's Royal Rumble Win

In a shock result, Jey Uso won the Men's Royal Rumble at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, last eliminating John Cena. Uso will now challenge either World Heavyweight Champion Gunther or Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41.

While the fans inside Lucas Oil Stadium went crazy for Jey Uso's win and it has received a positive reaction from some quarters on social media, not everyone was happy with Jey winning the Rumble.

After being asked by Pat McAfee on the Pat McAfee Show how he deals with people who may have been "bummed out" by his Rumble win, Jey Uso stated:

"That's them, Uce. That's them. That's your opinion. You don't strap my boots every week. You're not on the road every week. All the bumps, handshakes, the side-stepping no one sees. Early flights and rental cars. We're not travelling with security guards. I'm in the trenches like everybody else. I don't pay no mind to that. I don't need any of that. I'm just going to focus (forward), tunnel vision. Either hop on the train or get off the train. There are a lot of haters out there, Uce. They talk it because they can't walk it. I'm excited. I'm all positive. I never thought I would be at this level. Now I'm here and I got places to go. Yeet."

The expectation is Jey Uso will challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41. Uso is 0-3 in his career against Gunther, losing to 'Der Ring General' as recently as Saturday Night's Main Event on January 25.
