Will Jey Uso's interest in Rhea Ripley affect his marriage in real life? Exploring WWE legend's concerns

Jey Uso is currently entangled in a brewing love story with Rhea Ripley on Monday Night RAW. The former Bloodline member seems to be romantically interested in Mami and has been chasing her in an attempt to win Ripley's heart. While this storyline has captivated many, it has garnered criticism from a few, including WWE legend Rikishi.

While speaking on the Rikishi Off The Rope podcast, the Hall of Famer lambasted WWE for putting The YEET Master in a love triangle. Rikishi claimed that this romantic storyline could affect Jey's real life. According to the veteran, Jey Uso running around Rhea Ripley could gradually affect the former Bloodline member's real-life relationship and possibly break up his marriage.

The Samoan legend also questioned WWE's bookings and expressed his frustrations with Jey not being anywhere around the matchcard for SummerSlam 2024. Rikishi stated that the company could have involved Main Event Jey in a better storyline instead of injecting him in a romantic storyline that would lead to nothing but only halt the RAW Superstar's momentum.

Possible reason why Jey Uso is not on the SummerSlam 2024 card

SummerSlam 2024 is around the corner, and WWE has made several matches official for The Biggest Party of The Summer. However, several superstars will likely miss the summer's biggest extravaganza, including Main Event Jey Uso.

A major reason behind The YEET Master's possible absence from The Biggest Party of The Summer is his imminent reunion with The Bloodline. Jey is seemingly being prepared for a potential reunion with Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns before The Original Bloodline's impending showdown with Solo Sikoa's faction.

Therefore, WWE putting him in any major feud for SummerSlam could affect the company's potential long-term plans. While it could have pushed the former Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion as a singles superstar on RAW, it could have also delayed the much-anticipated reunion with The Bloodline.

This could be a major reason why Jey Uso is on the verge of being left out of the card for SummerSlam 2024 despite riding high on momentum.
