Kevin Nash Criticizes Jey Uso's Physique, Thinks Pressure Is Getting To Him

In a recent episode of his "Kliq This" podcast, WWE Hall Of Famer Kevin Nash discussed Jey Uso's current condition and performance. Nash observed that Jey appeared fatigued and suggested he might have gained weight, attributing this to the pressures associated with his prominent position in WWE:

I thought Jey looked tired. I think Jey looks like he’s put some weight on. I think the pressure of this spot is weighing on him.

Nash suggested that Jey needed to work on his cardio, and also commented on his energetic "YEET" entrance routine, likening it to "jazzercise." He recommended that Jey streamline this aspect of his performance to conserve energy for his matches.

That YEET thing is like f------ jazzercise, so if you get too involved into that f------ process, I think he really has to get in the middle of the ring after they introduce him, I think he has to f------ do like Hogan used to do with the gimmick. He needs to YEET one side, YEET, YEET, YEET. Go to all four sides. Don't go to the corners, don't jump up. Just do it right in the middle of the f------ ring, and then f------ lock up and do your match.

Despite these critiques, Nash acknowledged Jey’s immense popularity, stating:

He’s over as f---. He’s just gotta relax.

Jey Uso Recently Addressed His Critics

Sitting down for an interview with Sam Roberts, Jey Uso recently addressed his critics on the Raw Recap podcast with a mix of humility and confidence, acknowledging the scrutiny that comes with his top spot in WWE. He admitted that he's often critiqued for having a limited move set or being less technically skilled than others, but emphasized that being at the top isn’t just about moves - it's about connecting with the crowd and delivering when it counts.

All I know is, Uce, I'm in a job where I do get critiqued a lot. Gotta have tough skin. Gotta know how to take criticism. At the end of the day, though, I'm human too. I bust my ass to get to this spot. I'm telling you right now, I'm going to take it. Doubt me now. Do what you do. I got my fans behind me, Uce. I got my brothers, my family behind me.

Jey made it clear that while many wrestlers may be more polished, they're not in his position, and that says something. He confidently stated that he "shakes arenas" and is staying at that level.

You can't go out there on live TV like I do and move the crowd. That's me now. I shake arenas, bro. The damn ground under your feet will be shaking when my entrance is out. That's the levels I'm at, and I'm gonna stay there.

Responding to those unhappy with his Royal Rumble win, he pointed out the grind he puts in behind the scenes -the travel, the physical toll, the weekly commitment- and reminded fans that he’s earned his spot. Despite the hate, he’s not backing down and promised to "shock the world" again.

I ain't going nowhere. I'm not going nowhere. I'm gonna shock the world two times.
