#1. Rikishi wants WWE employees fired after Jey Uso lost the title
Rikishi Fatu has wholeheartedly supported his sons and other family members in the Stamford-based promotion. Over the past few years, the WWE Hall of Famer has often called out the management for Jey Uso’s booking as a singles performer. Recently, Main Event Jey’s loss to Gunther didn’t sit well with the 59-year-old veteran.
Speaking on the Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, the former Intercontinental Champion said those writing for his son should be fired as they’re not doing it right. Fatu claimed the writing team is at fault, as they put Jey Uso in an awkward position with their work when he was the World Heavyweight Champion.
“I feel that those that are writing for this kid, his storyline, you didn’t do him justice. You didn’t feed this champion right talent to be able to continue to make this champion. Not a fair shot in my eyes. So you go 51 days. I say fire. Fire those that are writing for this kid here if you can’t come up with something simple to promote and push your champion that you, not me, you decide to put this kid in that position,” he said.
It’ll be interesting to see what’s next for Jey Uso following his loss to Gunther.
