Jey Uso Responds to King of the Ring Final Loss With Pointed Instagram Message

Jey Uso isn’t letting his 2026 King of the Ring tournament final loss at WWE Night of Champions go quietly — though his response was more funny than furious.

Shortly after the event concluded, the former World Heavyweight Champion took to his Instagram Stories with a characteristically brief message: “Yall mfs lucky.” No elaboration, no further context — just five words that said plenty.

It’s exactly the kind of personality-driven social media moment that has made Uso one of WWE’s most over acts in recent years. Where some wrestlers might go dark after a high-profile loss, Uso leaned into his natural charisma, turning a disappointing result into a moment that only added to his likability. The message landed as equal parts sore loser and self-aware crowd favorite — a tone Uso has mastered throughout his singles run.

Reaching the King of the Ring final is no small accomplishment, and the loss doesn’t diminish what has been a strong run for Uso as a top-of-the-card performer. The tournament format naturally produces one winner and one runner-up, and how a talent handles the aftermath often matters as much as the result itself. Based on his Instagram response, Uso seems to be handling it just fine.

Whether this loss sets up a renewed rivalry or sends Uso in a new direction on the card remains to be seen, but one thing is clear — he’s not going anywhere quietly.
