Jey Uso does not care about the opinion of the IWC.
The former Bloodline star had a breakout year as a singles competitor in 2024, leading to him winning the 2025 Royal Rumble and his first world title in WWE. This success came with a lot of scrutiny, however, especially on social media. He has since returned to competing in the tag division, winning the tag team gold once again with his brother Jimmy Uso recently.
During his most recent appearance on Cody Rhodes' podcast, the 40-year-old talked about his current standing in the company. Jey Uso claimed that he is still a main event level star in league with the likes of Cody and Seth Rollins, no matter what the internet says:
“We’re all still competing. Especially with you, I still compete with you. Man, come on, man. Come on. I still compete with you; I still compete with Seth. I look at the top homies. Man, I consider myself a top guy, and internet, whatever. Y’all say — whatever… I’m him. I’m ‘Main Event’ Jey Uso now. Y’all know which twin I am now.”
Jey Uso also addressed the botched dive from last year that was featured on WWE Unreal and pointed out by many as reason he should not be part of the main event scene. The YEET Man admitted that he gets blown up during matches, pointing to the limited WWE schedule as a reason:
“Aye, that (WWE) Unreal stuff popped me though because when I watched it, I miss a rope. Damn, I blew up. Hit the damn top rope. Look, look, I’ll say it, hell yeah, I be tired. Damn, we only wrestle one time out the week. I had to get my stamina up but you know, damn, it happens.”
Jey Uso entered the Royal Rumble this year as well but failed to repeat his performance, being eliminated by the eventual winner Roman Reigns. You can check out Jey's full conversation with Cody Rhodes below:
