Rikishi sends a message to Rhea Ripley moments after Jey Uso wins the WWE Intercontinental Championship
Rikishi has reacted to Jey Uso's historic Intercontinental Championship win from Monday Night RAW. In the show's main event, the former Bloodline member defeated Bron Breakker to win his first singles title in the company.
Previously, Jey failed to win a singles championship on six separate occasions. Earlier this year, at Backlash France, he was unable to beat Damian Priest for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. He unsuccessfully challenged Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship on RAW and in multiple live shows.
After Uso finally won his first singles title in WWE, Jey's father, Rikishi, reacted by sending a message to Rhea Ripley. Jey and Ripley have allied in recent weeks amid The Terror Twins' feud with The Judgment Day.
"@RheaRipley_WWE It’s time to celebrate mami. AND YOUR NEW IC CHAMPION JEY MAIN EVENT USO Everyone Throw your hands in the air and say loud and proud #JeyWins #YEET @WWE," wrote Rikishi.
Check out Rikishi's message to Ripley and his reaction to Jey Uso's win:

Leading up to Breakker's title defense against Jey Uso, the newly crowned champion won a Fatal Four-Way Match involving Ilja Dragunov, Braun Strowman, and Pete Dunne.
