Rikishi thinks it would be a treat for the fans.
Jey Uso had a breakout run as a singles star in 2024, and he won the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Near the end of the year, he reunited with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso. The trio teamed up with Sami Zayn and CM Punk to win the Men's WarGames Match at WWE Survivor Series. Jey then reignited his feud with Drew McIntyre heading into the new year.
Speaking on his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi commented on Jey Uso's successful run in 2024. Looking forward to 2025, he noted that he wanted to see Jey feud with Jacob Fatu.
“I would like to see Jey run with Jacob. You can imagine, man. Run some type of storyline with The Werewolf and [Jey] and just really get deep into the storytelling. I’m talking about getting to the hospital and something where you think it’s career-ending for Jey and out of nowhere, with working hard and therapy, whatever that is, it’s like that ‘Rocky’ movie coming back. Finally, when he gets back, it’s that WrestleMania moment or Royal Rumble moment, which goes into WrestleMania. Those two, I feel they could have an A-plus match, and I think it’ll be a great treat for the fans to be able to watch a dream match like that," Rikishi said.
Jey Uso is set to face Drew McIntyre on the January 6th episode of WWE Raw.
