Jey Uso faced LA Knight in the semi-final of the Last Time is Now tournament. The two stars put on an instant classic in the high-stakes matchup. However, it was the Megastar that got the win as he rolled up Uso for the win. Jey was irate after the loss and proceeded to destroy the Prime station at ringside.

During this week's episode of Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the wrestling veteran mentioned that fans might be tired of seeing Jey on WWE TV. He felt the creative team needs to give the star a dramatic change in character. Mantell felt the Usos were part of the upper mid-card since the Bloodline storyline but haven't been able to break through as blockbuster stars.

"To me, I'm kind of suffering from Uso burnout. I don't know what they're gonna do now. They need to give these guys something. They've been sitting on this level for almost three years, haven't they? Gonna do something with them, gonna do something with them, but they're not doing nothing. After a while, the old saying in wrestling is you just become a part of the furniture."

Dutch Mantell ridiculed Jey Uso's booking

While Dutch Mantell agreed that Jey Uso needed a gimmick change, he was not happy with the way the creative team executed the angle.

He felt Jey seemed like he was throwing a tantrum over an unexpected loss in the tournament.

"So he was mad because he lost the match, we got that. But him getting into a hissy fit, a bi**h fit outside the ring, I guess that's what made them think that he was getting ready to turn heel. But he does need something. 15 years is a long time for people to see."
