“I mean, nothing really changed on me Uce. I still have fun. I still throw a party every Monday. I still like the kids man, I still Yeet with ’em. It’s just — when the bell rings Uce, I just gotta switch modes now, man. If I’m trying to get back to the top, I got big hitters in front of me. I got guys like CM Punk, guys like Gunther. Guys like the Seth Rollins — get well, Uce. But like, I got a heavy list in front of me, and I just can’t play no more.
“I’m tired of like, people saying I’m just an entrance or whatever, like I ain’t got skills to hold it down up top. So just switched modes, Uce. I mean, it might be going back to the old ways thinking, you know, Bloodline ways. But man, that kind of mentality got the job done.” said Jey Uso addressing his recent criticism.
