Former world heavyweight champion Jey Uso may energize his audience by yelling “YEET” during his entrances, but not everyone on social media shares the enthusiasm. Many critics have expressed dissatisfaction with both Uso’s wrestling skills and his star appeal, arguing that his entrances consume too much time. Meanwhile, some fans have voiced displeasure over Roman Reigns’ Royal Rumble win, and Jey Uso has responded to the backlash directed at his cousin.
In an Instagram post, Uso declared, “I have so much hatred for this midfielder.” He added, “I’ll never hate on my own family; we lift each other up. The whole world is already trying to hold us down… but we’re still running. Flowers in the mine.” Shortly after, The Usos humorously took credit for the wrestling lingo, stating, “Oh, that ‘movie’ terminology we use in pro wrestling now… it comes from Pedigree, you’re welcome.”
Interestingly, Roman Reigns himself had sharply criticized WWE during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” before the Royal Rumble, arguing that the company hadn’t evolved since his previous World Championship run. Calling himself the “Original Tribal Chief,” he said he could no longer remain passive about WWE’s direction and immediately announced his Rumble participation.
Despite the criticism, Reigns won the Royal Rumble and made it clear he plans to challenge CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania instead of Drew McIntyre. This sets up a high-profile rivalry that quietly began at Survivor Series: WarGames in 2024.
Fan Take:
This update highlights the ongoing tensions within WWE’s top stars and their connection to the fans, reminding us that family loyalty remains a powerful theme in wrestling storytelling. Roman Reigns’ triumph and subsequent championship pursuit could signal exciting new matchups that keep WWE’s biggest events compelling for years to come.
