Real-life Bloodline member addresses his recent remarks about Jey Uso potentially joining AEW
A real-life Bloodline member expressed frustration over Jey Uso's recent WWE booking. The name in question, Rikishi, stated that his son could potentially join AEW and get more value. The wrestling legend, however, has recently clarified his remarks regarding Uso's future.
The WWE Hall of Famer is vocal about his support for the real-life Bloodline members, including his sons, Jey and Jimmy Uso. He has often criticized the Stamford-based company for their booking of the younger twin. The 39-year-old has yet to win a singles title despite being one of the most popular babyfaces on the roster.
While addressing his remarks about the 39-year-old's potential WWE exit to join the rival promotion, Rikishi clarified his statement on the latest episode of his Off The Top Podcast. The veteran claimed that his words were twisted and that the Stamford-based company is The Bloodline's home. He added that they do not intend to leave and join any other wrestling promotion.
"I don’t even want to say anything no more because every time I say something, I make news, and then people twist my words, like I’m against WWE. I’m not against WWE. Why would I be against WWE? If you’re gonna talk about what I said, please make sure you put down exact, don’t twist my words around. I’m gonna say it again, WWE is The Dynasty’s home, period. We are not going nowhere, we don’t plan to go nowhere. The past, present, and future. Give me a YEET on that," he said. [H/T: PWMania]

Jey Uso to challenge WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker
In the pursuit of his first-ever singles title in WWE, Jey Uso is poised to take on Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship. Although the match has not been scheduled as of now, the two had a staredown on the latest edition of Monday Night RAW after the former Bloodline member became the No. 1 contender for the title.
On the September 9 edition of the red brand's show, Jey Uso pinned Pete Dunne in a Fatal Four Way Match to become the next challenger for Breakker's title. The contest also featured Ilja Dragunov and Braun Strowman, who was taken out by Bronson Reed mid-match. In the first round, the former Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion defeated Kofi Kingston and Karrion Kross in a Triple Threat Match to advance to the final.
WWE's next premium live event, Bad Blood, is scheduled for October 5. It remains to be seen if Bron Breakker and Jey Uso will lock horns at State Farm Arena in Atlanta next month.
