Jey Uso has spoken out after advancing to the King of the Ring finals with a victory on the June 19 episode of SmackDown. The win drew a mixed response from fans.
Jey Uso defeated Je’Von Evans in the tournament semi-finals on SmackDown. He will face Oba Femi, who advanced earlier by beating Dominik Mysterio on Raw, in the finals at Night of Champions.
In an Instagram story, Uso wrote, “Y'all really love me now? Watch when I beat Oba.” He added, “The more u hate on me, the more broke u stay 😂.” The official Usos Twitter account responded to claims of fan fury with “Bruh😂😂😂😂 What’s new?!?”
The outcome would place the winner in line to challenge either Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes for a world title. Fans have also expressed concern over another potential loss for Oba Femi ahead of the June 27 event.
