“Main Event” Jey Uso has a direct message for those doubting his momentum heading into WWE Elimination Chamber 2026. While appearing on a recent episode of ESPN’s First Take, the 2025 Royal Rumble winner addressed the vocal “haters” who have criticized his recent push and signature “Yeet” character. Jey, who officially qualified for the Chamber this past Monday on Raw in Atlanta, encouraged his detractors to actually attend a live event before passing judgment.
“Man, just keep watching your TV screen. Open your laptop up, put your iPad up, iPhone out. I’ll be on there somewhere, Uce. ESPN, Netflix, this Saturday, it’s Elimination Chamber man. Pick one, Uce. I’ll be on there Monday, Friday too. Stay blessed, man, stop hating, man. Come to one of these shows, you might change your vibes. You feel me?” Jey stated.
Jey secured his spot in the Chamber by overcoming Bronson Reed and “Original” El Grande Americano in a Triple Threat qualifying match that saw Reed suffer a legitimate distal bicep tear. Despite some online friction—including a YouTube video of his qualification receiving over 21,000 dislikes—Jey remains one of the most popular stars on the roster, with his merchandise sales and live crowd reactions continuing to be among the top draws.
This Saturday, February 28, Jey will step inside the steel at the United Center in Chicago. He faces a stacked field in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, including Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, LA Knight, Trick Williams, and Je’Von Evans. The winner will advance to WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas to challenge Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
