A WWE Hall of Famer has criticized Jey Uso for breaking character when Bronson Reed got injured on last night’s episode of Raw.
Jey Uso, Bronson Reed and The Original El Grande Americano had an Elimination Chamber qualifier on Raw that Reed was planned to win.
However, he suffered a distal bicep tear during the match and was taken out, so WWE had to change plans to Uso winning instead.
Speaking on Busted Open, Bully Ray/Bubba Ray Dudley has criticized Uso for breaking character and making it obvious that something had gone awry.
He said:
“First things first. Why did Jey Uso look depressed and sad? I’m sorry but you’re supposed to try to win the match because you’re trying to get into the Elimination Chamber.
“This is where the art of working comes in. Anything can happen at any given moment. It is your job to stay in the moment. You won the match, Jey Uso should have been going crazy because he got another opportunity.
“I understand you’re concerned, you’re worried about the guy that got hurt. That doesn’t mean you completely come out of the moment. You are basically telling me that you weren’t supposed to win. You cannot do that.
“But I guess in this new age of wrestling it’s okay to show concern for your fellow wrestler, even though you won the match.
“Stay in the moment. When you get to the back, you can show concern. So right off the bat, that took me out. Yes, I understand somebody gets hurt, people get hurt in the ring all the time. S**t happens. It’s not ballet.
“As far as Bronson’s concerned, I’m sorry to hear big brother got hurt.”
