Jey Uso responded confidently, saying, “That’s them, Uce, like that’s them, that’s your opinion, Uce.” He emphasized that those critics don’t understand the hard work he puts in every week, saying, “You don’t strap my boots every week. You’re not on the road like I am every week.” He acknowledged the sacrifices and struggles of his journey, explaining, “It was all the bumps, handshakes, all that sidestep that don’t nobody see—all the early flights, the rental cars, man.”

He made it clear that he doesn’t rely on external validation, stating, “I don’t pay no mind to that, Uce. If anything, I didn’t need—I don’t need none of that.” Instead, he chooses to stay focused: “So I’m gonna just focus right here, Uce. Tunnel vision—you either hop on the train or get off the train.” Addressing the critics, he added, “But there’s a lot of haters out there, Uce. They talking because they can’t walk it.”
