Rikishi unhappy with WWE; makes a request to fans on Twitter
WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi has sent a message to WWE concerning his son Jey Uso. Jey is one of the most over acts in WWE at present but has yet to win a world title.
Jey Uso has consistently been one of WWE's biggest merch movers for quite some time now. He is also insanely over and receives massive pops every time he comes out to the ring. WWE fans have been pleading with Triple H to give him a title run for a while now.
Rikishi recently shared a clip in which Michael Cole and Pat McAfee can be seen having a great time during Jey's entrance. He asked WWE to "stop playing" and also asked where's his title shot.
"MAIN EVENT STATUS #YeetMan. Where's is (sic) title shot???? #stopplayin. @WWE Universe, back him up!! #MainEventJey LFG!!!"

Rikishi wasn't happy with Jey Uso losing the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match
At Money in the Bank 2024, Drew McIntyre defeated Jey, Andrade, Carmelo Hayes, Chad Gable, and LA Knight in a Six-Man Money in the Bank ladder match to win the contract. Rikishi wasn't happy one bit over Jey losing the match. Here's what he said on his podcast, Rikishi Fatu Off The Top.
"That kind of hits a nerve with me. I'm not asking or saying to give this kid a free pass because of who he is and where he comes from. But I mean, again, I want to go back to the numbers. The numbers don't lie with 'Yeet.' The merchandise [shows] the 'Yeet Man' has done so much for the company. The 'Yeet Man,' he doesn't have a bad track record. The 'Yeet Man' is not a liability. The 'Yeet Man' shows up to work and does what he does." [H/T - WrestlingInc]
Jey's turn to a top star began at Hell in a Cell 2020 where he competed for Roman Reigns' Universal Title. The emotional battle ended with Reigns retaining his title. Jey did the best work of his career as a member of The Bloodline over the next three years before quitting the stable and moving to WWE RAW.
