WWE News: WWE Hall of Famer addresses The Usos' potential departure rumors from WWE

What's the story?

This past Sunday at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, The Usos became six-time WWE Tag Team Champions after having captured the SmackDown Live Tag Team Titles from the duo of Shane McMahon and The Miz.

Following Jimmy and Jey's historic win, WWE Hall of Famer, Rikishi took it to social media in order to seemingly address The Usos' potential WWE departure rumors.

In case you didn't know...

The Usos' current contracts with the WWE is all set to expire in April and in a recent edition of The Wrestling Observer, Dave Meltzer noted that the multiple time tag team champions are yet to sign a new contract with the WWE.

Over the past several years, The Usos have established the foundation of tag team wrestling in WWE, winning the tag team titles twice before the brand split before capturing the SmackDown Live Tag Team Titles on four different occasions.

The heart of the matter

At Elimination Chamber, the duo of Jimmy and Jey Uso brought an end to Shane McMahon and The Miz's first run as SmackDown Live Tag Team Champions, ending their reign after just 21 days.

Shortly afterward, WWE Hall of Famer and father of The Usos, Rikishi took it to his official Instagram handle and commented on his sons winning the SmackDown Live Tag Team Championships.

On his post, Rikishi noted that The Usos' legacy is seemingly growing and there is nothing else for them left to prove. The Hall of Famer also credited his sons for working hard day in and day out and below is Rikishi's entire post:
