Jey Uso says he is tired of recent criticism

Jey Uso is among the most popular babyfaces on the WWE roster. However, he has also been receiving a lot of criticism from some fans over his in-ring performance. The former World Heavyweight Champion recently noted that he was tired of such remarks.

The 40-year-old has undergone a slight change in his character. Influenced by Roman Reigns' advice to reach his full potential, Uso is trying to be a more serious and aggressive in-ring performer focused on getting results. He even eliminated his twin brother from a battle royal to earn a shot at the vacated World Heavyweight Championship.

During his appearance on the latest edition of RAW Recap, Jey Uso was asked about the changes he recently underwent. The YEET Master insisted that he hadn't changed much. Uso noted that he still had fun with the fans, but in order to be at the top, he needed to switch modes.

"I mean, nothing really changed on me, Uce. You know, I still have fun. I still throw a party every Monday. I still like the kids, man. I still YEET with them. It's just, man, when the bell rings, I just got to switch modes now, man. If I'm trying to get to the top, get back to the top, I got big hitters in front of me. I got guys like, man, CM Punk, you know, the guy like Gunther, guys like you know, the Seth Rollins, get well loose, but like, I got a heavy list in front of me and I got to—I just can't play," Uso said.

Jey Uso added that he was tired of all the criticism being thrown his way. He admitted to having gone back to the old "Bloodline ways." Uso pointed out that it worked for him.

"I just can't play no more, man. I'm tired of like people saying I'm just an entrance or whatever. It was like, I ain't got skills to hold it down up top, man. So I just, switched modes. It was like, I don't know. I mean, it might be going back to the old ways thinking, you know, Bloodline ways, but man, that kind of mentality got the job done," Uso added. [H/T: Fightful]
