CM Punk Pushes Back On Criticisms Of Jey Uso: “If You Went On The Internet, ‘Oh, He’s The Worst Wrestler Alive…’ Is He? Or Are You Just Extremely Hyperbolic?”

Punk defends Jey Uso.

David LaGreca of Busted Open released his sit-down chat with WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk. As their conversation moved along, Punk touched on the criticisms of his colleague Jey Uso.

Punk said on any given night, he’s battling John Cena and Jey for who sells the most t-shirts. He added that people online have a lot to say about Jey, but the reactions that Uso gets in arenas say otherwise.

“I use Jey Uso as the number one shining example… I’m battling with John Cena and Jey Uso as who sells more t-shirts on any given night. Everybody’s going crazy for his music. They’re yeeting. They want him to run it back. This dude can go out on TV for 10 minutes and just yeet. But then if you went on the internet, ‘Oh, he’s the worst wrestler alive.’ Is he? Or are you just extremely hyperbolic? Everything nowadays is, ‘This is the best thing ever. This is the worst thing ever. I don’t like it so you have to not like it too…’ like what you like, champion that. I try to stay away from the negativity. Jey Uso is f*cking phenomenal. He is. 100 percent. We just live these lives that are so public that everybody wants to point fingers and laugh if we slip on a banana peel or make a mistake.”

Punk successfully defended his World Heavyweight Title against Bron Breakker in the main event of the January 5th Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
