Jey Uso Fires Back at Fans Over Royal Rumble Backlash

Roman Reigns made a significant return this past Saturday by clinching the Men’s Royal Rumble victory, eliminating Gunther in the final moments. Despite this achievement, some fans expressed dissatisfaction with The Old Tribal Chief’s win, as reflected in the mixed reaction on YouTube, where the official Royal Rumble 2026 victory video received numerous dislikes, though likes still outnumbered them.

Amid the backlash, Jey Uso, who often faces criticism on social media himself, took to Instagram Stories to share his feelings, asserting that fans do not deserve the efforts of his family.

Expected Comebacks to Red Brand on Tonight’s RAW in Philadelphia

Dominik Mysterio, sidelined since December 20, 2025, due to a shoulder injury sustained at the AAA Guerra De Titanes event, is anticipated to return to WWE action soon. At that event, Dominik teamed with El Grande Americano, portrayed by Ludwig Kaiser, but lost to Rey Mysterio and Rey Fenix. Reports from PWInsider indicate that Dominik has been medically cleared to compete and may make an appearance at tonight’s RAW in Philadelphia.

Dominik’s next scheduled bout is on March 14 at the AAA Rey de Reyes event, where he will defend the AAA Mega Championship against El Hijo del Vikingo.

Additionally, Chad Gable is expected to return to RAW, potentially reprising his role as the original El Grande Americano. He made an appearance at Royal Rumble 2026, eliminating the version of El Grande Americano played by Ludwig Kaiser. Chad Gable has not been seen on RAW since June 23, 2025.

Shane McMahon Faces Fan Criticism Over AJ Styles Tribute

The wrestling community recently paid homage to AJ Styles following his retirement at Royal Rumble 2026. Shane McMahon contributed a tribute on Instagram, praising Styles as one of the greatest ring performers. McMahon stated:

“AJ Styles will go down in history as one of the greatest in ring performers ever! Thank you for your friendship and giving it your absolute best to entertain us all every single time you stepped through the ropes. You set the bar for current and future talent, let’s see if they can reach it. Congratulations on a Phenomenal career.”

—Shane McMahon, WWE Executive

However, the post included a low-resolution, pixelated image of AJ Styles, which provoked fans to mock McMahon in the comment section with remarks such as “Got any more pixels?” and

“Was this pic taken on a Nokia 3210?”

Further comments implied ongoing tensions between McMahon and Styles, criticizing the choice of image as disrespectful for a tribute.

Implications of Recent WWE Developments and What to Expect

Jey Uso’s reaction highlights ongoing tensions between WWE stars and segments of the fanbase, which could influence future storylines involving The Usos and Roman Reigns. With Dominik Mysterio’s anticipated return and Chad Gable’s potential reappearance, tonight’s RAW in Philadelphia promises to bring renewed energy and narrative shifts to the Red Brand. Meanwhile, fan responses to tributes like Shane McMahon’s reveal the passionate and often sharply critical nature of wrestling audiences. As WWE moves toward WrestleMania 42, these developments underscore the dynamic interplay between performers and their supporters.
