The Usos’ father, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, continues to be vocal about how WWE is booking his son, Jey Uso.
Last week, he called for the fans to rally behind Jey to get him a title shot. On his Off the Top podcast, Rikishi said it struck a nerve with him that Jey didn’t win Money in the Bank.
Jey first tasted being a singles star in late 2020 when he entered a program with Roman Reigns before forming The Bloodline faction. He later split from the faction in 2023, and he has been a top star there ever since. He’s also been a top earner for the company with merchandise.
In recent weeks, WWE has been doing a romance angle with Uso and Rhea Ripley, something Rikishi isn’t a fan of.
Rikishi said, “Summerslam, where’s Yeet (Jey Uso) at? ‘I don’t know. Let’s write him in that he likes Mami.’ Mami? That’s the best that those writers got? Let’s write this guy into a relationship with Mami? What are you trying to do—break his marriage up? Y’all can’t put him in a good storyline, so what you gonna do now? God forbid you guys try to tell him, or tell her, ‘Tongue ki** each other on Raw.’ Sh**. That better not happen.”
