During the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Jey Uso defeated Rusev and advanced to the semi-finals of WWE's Last Time is Now tournament. Now, the YEET Master will soon face LA Knight, and the winner will get a spot in the finals of the John Cena final opponent race.

However, many are disappointed with the victory of the Samoan star and feel that the Bulgarian Brute would have been a better winner. In this article, let's discuss three reasons why Jey Uso advancing in the semi-finals of the Cena tournament is a mistake.


#3. Jey Uso is already part of the main-event scenario

Jey Uso is already part of a major storyline on WWE RAW, and the YEET Master is set to compete in the Men's WarGames match from Team CM Punk. Despite being engaged in a high-profile storyline, Jey really doesn't need to reach the semi-finals of the Last Time is Now tournament.

This makes the victory more important for Rusev, making it a mistake as Jey is the one who advances to the semi-final round.


#2. The YEET Master will not be Cena's final opponent

Despite being advanced to the semi-finals of the tournament, Jey is still unlikely to be the final opponent of the Franchise Player. Gunther is highly anticipated to be the last opponent of Cena, making Jey's victory on SmackDown a major mistake.

This victory would eventually give no benefits to the Samoan star, especially when he would not lock horns with Cena. Already, there is a spotlight on him.


#1. Hated by the WWE Universe despite being a babyface star

Jey Uso is still a babyface star in WWE, but despite this, he is getting a negative reaction from his victory on SmackDown. Fans weren't happy with the win of former World Heavyweight Champion and asserted that Rusev deserved the triumph.

Fan sentiments have proved that Jey's advancing to the semi-finals of the tournament was a big misstep. Additionally, this isn't the first time Jey has received criticism from the audience for being overpushed by the Triple H creative regime.

It's high time that WWE either shifts its focus from Jey Uso or at least turns him into a heel star and utilizes the hate he is getting right now.
