This past weekend, Jey Uso punched his ticket to WrestleMania 41 when he won the Royal Rumble, but his victory came as a surprise to most of the WWE Universe. Coming into the event, the former Intercontinental Champion was not afavorite to win theRumble like CM Punk, Roman Reigns or John Cena. However, despite the amount of support Uso has received for months on 'WWE Raw," many fans expressed their displeasure online with his victory.
Speaking on "The Pat McAfee Show," Uso addressed the negativecriticism of his Royal Rumble win, explaining that those who doubt him are unaware of his hard work behind the scenes, and is determined to remain positive despite the backlash.
"That's them,that's your opinion uce, youdon't strap my boots every week. You'renot on the road like I am every week, like you said earlier,all the bumps, handshakes, all that side stuffthat don't nobody see. All the earlyflights, rental cars,we ain't traveling withsecurity guards around me. I'm in thetrenches like everybody else man. I don'tpay no mind to that uce. If anything like, I don't neednone of that uce. I'majust focusright here uce, tunnel vision. You either hopon the train or get off the train butthere's a lot of haters out there uce. Theytalk it because they can't walk it."
This past week on "Raw," Uso was confronted by World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER, who could wind up as his opponent for WrestleMania 41. However, Uso also promised to pay a visit to Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes before making a decision.
