Rikishi: Jimmy Uso Is Going To Be A Household Singles Wrestler In Due Time

Rikishi says Big Jim will find what works.

Jimmy Uso previously had a successful run alongside Jey Uso, as they won the tag team titles eight times together. Jey Uso has already broken out as a singles star, and Jimmy has started receiving more opportunities to compete by himself in recent weeks.

Speaking on his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi shared his thoughts on Jimmy Uso's current run on WWE SmackDown.

“Jimmy, he’s an open book. He can do anything. To me, he’s a prankster, he’s a comedian, if he wanted to try to do that stand-up thing. He’s very talented, very athletic, a good father, a good, amazing brother. He’s the guy, the oldest to where he kind of holds that crew down. So yeah, to be able to see him finally find himself as a single competitor out there in the WWE, it’s gonna be some work for him. But he’s smart enough to find it. Jey found it, came up with the ‘Yeet,’ and now it's one of the hottest-selling merchandise that’s out there, one of the worldwide names, you say ‘yeet’, you think about Jey. So Jimmy will find it. You mark my words, Jimmy’s gonna be a fan-favorite household single competitor wrestler in due time. While he’s out there, he’s smart enough to find out what works. Then he’s gonna bring that to television, and then it’ll be off to the races, who’s got the biggest selling merchandise, the Yeet Man or the Jimmy Man? Big Jim, that’s him,'" Rikishi said.
