Fans werent happy about the match being cut drastically short, and the numbers dont lieover 61,000 dislikes on WWEs YouTube clip of the bout as of March 19.
Now, Jey has responded in his own way. Taking to Instagram Stories, the Royal Rumble winner posted a moody shot of himself standing in a dimly lit stairwell. The words above him read, Crash Out Jey, while the caption below simply states, Lawd Help Me. The post was soundtracked by 2Pacs Ambitionz Az A Ridah, a song known for its aggressive, defiant energypossibly signaling Jeys mindset heading into WrestleMania 41.
Originally, his match against Theory was scheduled to last 11 minutes, but it was cut down at the last second. While its unclear if John Cenas extended promo affected the timing, the end result was Theory getting demolished in record timesomething fans werent thrilled about.
Despite the backlash, WWE wasted no time setting up Jeys next move. Hes now set to team with a mystery partner against Theory and Grayson Waller on next weeks Raw in Glasgow. Joe Hendry has fueled speculation that he could be stepping in, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
Jey Uso seems unbothered by the criticism, but does his Instagram post mean hes taking the backlash seriously? Should WWE have handled his win differently? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
