WWE Superstar Jey Uso recently talked about fans doubting his abilities going into WrestleMania 41. The Yeet Master is all set to face Gunther at The Show of Shows.
After winning this year's Men's Royal Rumble Match, Jey Uso received mixed reactions from fans. Some were rooting for the star to dethrone Gunther as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, while others believed he was not 'championship material.'
Despite receiving major backlash from fans, The Yeet Master has continued to prove his doubters wrong by putting on incredible performances in singles matches ahead of his clash with The Ring General.
During a recent edition of the SHAK Wrestling podcast, the host asked Jey how he felt about people doubting his abilities going into 'Mania. The Yeet Master said he didn't know if fans were upset because their favorite wrestler did not win the Rumble or if they thought he didn't deserve to win the competition.
