Jey Uso Addresses Criticism After WWE WrestleMania 41 Title Win

WWE

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso has sent a message to his online critics following WrestleMania 41.

Jey Uso has been facing criticism online since his Royal Rumble victory, with a number of fans voicing their disinterest in seeing Jey face GUNTHER at WrestleMania 41.

This match ultimately took place first on WrestleMania 41 Night 1, with Main Event Jey forcing the Ring General to submit to win the World Heavyweight Title.

Jey Uso sent a message to his critics during the post-show press conference, telling the “internet” to soak in his victory.

During this interview, Jey Uso welcomed fans to the YEET era, noting:

“I just wanted to be a tag team wrestler with my twin brother. Once you start to progress and see different doors open, you want to take advantage of those opportunities.

“It’s been hard. Especially hard today because I feel like, our business, everyone is smart to it. We the last of a dying breed, that’s what I think. It’s damn near live theatrics, one shot, one take, live TV.

“I take pride in all that. All my brothers and sisters. Everyone who put on today. Behind the scenes, we’re all a big family. I’m so grateful I get to do this little part.

“I go out there and wrestle, but the production crew, the people who drive the trucks, who load, catering, I love y’all. I love everybody. My hat’s off. Stay humble, ready to rumble. Welcome to the YEET Era.

“I don’t know what’s about to happen. I’m gonna embrace the hate. I’m gonna embrace the love. I dethroned the Ring General.

“I’m the World Heavyweight Champion. I got side plates on this thing. This is the quickest I ever got…I had to wait two weeks when I won the IC Championship. I got a new shirt on. It’s love. YEET.”
