Rikishi says it would be a great photo.
Jey Uso won the Men's Royal Rumble, and he will challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE WrestleMania 41. Meanwhile, Jimmy Uso has set his sights on the WWE United States Championship in recent weeks. Rikishi recently said that he'd like to see them both win the gold.
Speaking on his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi was asked about Jimmy Uso targeting the WWE United States Championship and the possibility of Jimmy and Jey celebrating their title wins together at WWE WrestleMania 41.
“That would be a beautiful photo op. You got Jey with the belt from Gunther, then you got Jimmy with the US belt. That’s a great photo, man. That’s good revenue for WWE/TKO. That’s another accomplishment for the boys that they can add on to the many things that they’ve done in the business of professional wrestling for 17 years. But I really can’t tell it, man. For me, I’m just grateful that the boys are involved in the biggest show in the world, to be able to be featured on that. We know that Jey is going to be there. We don’t know if Jimmy is going to be there. Everything can change. We all got faith for the good guys. But at the end of the day, this is professional wrestling, this is the WWE. Anything can happen. Things can change between Gunther and Jey. There’s so much stuff that can happen in between. One, all these guys gotta stay healthy because without these guys being healthy, that match that was booked and advertised, it possibly can’t go on, god forbid somebody has a broken-up knee or a torn shoulder and is unable to perform. We hope it never gets to that. But these are the things that are reality in professional wrestling. I’m so looking forward for this match with Jey and Gunther. I’m not knocking Gunther when I say this. Gunther, just be ready. Be ready for the whole Allegiant Stadium to come down when that boy hits the ring. Let’s just hope that that match takes off. I’m gonna pray for both parties. I’m gonna pray that Jey is healthy, at his best, at his top-shop shape, and I’m going to pray for Gunther the same way," Rikishi said.
