Rikishi Voices Discontent Over Jey Uso's Tag Team Match Booking in WWE
Jey Uso's Recent Achievements in WWE
Jey Uso has made significant strides in WWE over the past few years, establishing himself as a top singles competitor. He recently triumphed over Gunther at WrestleMania 41, securing the title of World Heavyweight Champion. In 2025, he also clinched victory in the Royal Rumble match. However, since winning the championship, his subsequent matches have not garnered much attention, leading to disappointment from both his father, Hisuka, and the legendary wrestler Rikishi. Rikishi has openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the current direction of Jey's career.
Rikishi's Critique of WWE's Match Arrangement
Rikishi has publicly criticized WWE for placing Jey Uso in a tag team match at the upcoming Money In The Bank 2025 event. During an appearance on the Off The Top podcast, he stated, "Why is that? Jey Uso is the World Heavyweight Champion. There really needs to be a firing of the creative service over there. Book me so I can book my son’s match. Bringing Logan Paul to face Jey Uso was fine. Logan has heat, and this is his spotlight. So you defeated Paul and now where are you going, into a tag team bout?"
Recent Chaos at Saturday Night’s Main Event
In the latest Saturday Night’s Main Event, Jey Uso faced Logan Paul for the World Heavyweight Championship. The match was intense, with Jey on the verge of victory when John Cena intervened, taking out the referee. Cena attacked Jey, but Cody Rhodes rushed in to assist him, allowing Jey to retain his championship. Following this, Cody proposed a tag team match at Money In The Bank featuring Cena, Paul, and himself. The recent SmackDown showcased a segment with Cody, Cena, Jey, and Logan, leading to a chaotic brawl that ended with Cena and Paul on the losing side. The upcoming Money In The Bank match promises to be highly entertaining.
