Triple H Reacts to Jey Uso’s Ring Skills Being Criticized Online

WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H addressed recent criticism of Jey Uso’s in-ring performance.

During an interview with Peter Rosenberg on WWE’s YouTube channel. With WrestleMania 41 set to take place in Las Vegas, Triple H shared his thoughts on Jey Uso’s rise and criticism for his in-ring performance.

“Because people made it happen. Sometimes things happen organically along the way that get you to where you wanna be, and Jey, through the Bloodline saga, was sort of a linchpin in that storytelling, then goes off on his own. And, you know, a lot of people question whether these guys, once they leave the Bloodline, once they leave Roman, once they leave Heyman are they gonna be anything more than a tag team that they already were? Were they going to just be what they were? Are they going to succeed and be anything more?”

“You give them the opportunity to do all those things. Jey, when he had the opportunity to do it, would click on these moments. And at the end of the day, a lot of times, that’s what our business is just about. It’s about moments. A lot of people think and, you know, there’s a lot of criticism with this, right that it’s, it’s just the in-ring product. It’s just the this. It’s just how technically good of a wrestler you are. Make me a list of the greatest performers in this business, and that list will be two-thirds people that were worse than the majority of the list of great workers that didn’t get to the top”

Triple H praises Jey Uso’s charisma and connection with fans

“Jey has great athletic ability, and the things he does in the ring, he does well. Is he the most technical guy here? No. Is he the greatest performer on the face of the Earth in-ring? No. But he has a charisma and a likability that he lets people in, and they wanna see him succeed. So when you walk into a building with 10,000, 30,000, or 60,000, and he walks out, and that whole place is doing his entrance with him, and is hanging on everything he does, and are hanging on his words, and they’re hanging on his moments.”

“Right? That’s, that’s what it takes to be a top guy. It’s about box office. And Jey is proving what he said he was, which is Main Event Jey Uso, whether some people like that or not. Right?

There are people like Gunther that believe the in-ring is what matters. So he’s either going to beat the entertainment out of Jey Uso, or Jey Uso is going to survive all of that and prove that the box office is where it’s at.”
