Jey Uso continues to react to his defeat to Oba Femi in the 2026 King of the Ring final at tonight’s WWE Night of Champions Premium Live Event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

As noted previously, Femi defeated Uso to earn his place as the new King of the Ring and a world championship shot at SummerSlam 2026.

Following his defeat, Jey took to Instagram Stories to seemingly give Oba Femi his flowers apart from taunting his detractors. However, he is now claiming that The Ruler tapped out during the match. He’s referring to Oba pumping his fist on the mat before powering out of the Sleeper Hold.

Femi ultimately flattened Jey Uso with a couple of vicious running uppercuts and followed it up with the Fall From Grace to secure the pinfall and the King of the Ring crown. Femi cut a promo after the match to reflect on his victory. Though he didn’t reveal which WWE World Champion he intends to go after at SummerSlam, WWE seemingly teased his decision for the upcoming episode of WWE RAW.
