Jey Uso is done hearing the criticism — and now he’s firing back by declaring himself the best wrestler in the business right now.
On May 14, 2026, Jey Uso took to his Instagram story and fired back at his critics with a bold message, making it clear he believes he’s operating at the top of WWE right now, claiming he’s the best in the game and at the highest level for close to two decades.
“I’m really the best in the game rn. At the highest level. Close to 2 decades…. But yall know Abraham Lincoln freed slaves tho??”
That post comes after months of debate over Jey’s singles push. He won the Royal Rumble, captured the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41, and still ended up getting labeled “Most Overrated Wrestler” in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s 2025 Year-End Awards. Jey previously brushed off that award with a simple Instagram Story response: “Ya’ll really love me.”
Now, he’s taking it a step further. Jey isn’t just laughing off the hate anymore — he’s telling everyone he’s the best in the game, whether they like it or not. After nearly two decades in WWE, Jey Uso clearly feels he has earned his spot. The criticism may keep coming, but Jey is leaning all the way into it.
