Jey Uso's WWE World Heavyweight Championship loss has some fans wondering whether he would be pushed down the card. Well, he's not.
Adam Pearce has shared his reaction after dropping a bombshell announcement regarding the immediate future of The Yeet Master.
Earlier today, the RAW General Manager announced via WWE's X account that Jey Uso will get the final spot in the ongoing King of the Ring tournament after his title loss to Gunther.
The OG Bloodline member will compete in the first round of the tournament on the upcoming episode of RAW. He will face Sheamus, Rusev, and Bronson Reed in a Fatal Four-Way match.
Following the announcement, Adam Pearce took to his X/Twitter handle to make things official.
"It is official."
Check out his tweet below:
Speaking on the latest episode of Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer shared his thoughts on his son's reign coming to an end after 51 days.
Rikishi demanded that the writer be fired for doing injustice to Jey Uso.
"You know what I feel? This is what I feel. 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."
Regardless, Jey will now have an opportunity to redeem himself if he wins the final first round bout of the King of the Ring tournament.
Should he return to winning ways, he will go on to face his former partner, Cody Rhodes, in the semifinals of the tournament in the coming weeks.
