During an interview on The Pat McAfee Show, Jey Uso was asked about the negative reaction to his Royal Rumble victory on social media.
Here’s what the former Intercontinental Champion said:
“That’s them, Uce. Like, that’s them, that’s your opinion. You don’t strap my boots every week. You’re not on the road like I am every week. All the bumps, all that side-stepping that nobody sees, all those flights and rental cars — we ain’t traveling with security guards around me. I’m in the trenches like everybody else.
I don’t pay no mind to that, Uce. I don’t need none of that. Focus right here, Uce—tunnel vision. There’s a lot of haters around here, Uce. They talk it because they can’t walk it.
I’m just excited, bro. I’m all on a positive path. I never thought I could be here, Pat. But now I’m here, and I got places to go too.”
