Rikishi calls out WWE writers over his son Jey Uso's World Heavyweight Championship loss
Jey Uso's run as the World Heavyweight Champion came to an end last week on Monday Night RAW. The Ring General reclaimed the title 51 days after losing it to The YEET Master at WrestleMania 41.
Speaking on his Off the Top podcast, Rikishi criticized WWE writers for their booking of Jey Uso's world championship run. He opined that the creative team did not do justice to their son. The Hall of Famer even called for their firing over their inability to push Uso as the World Heavyweight Champion.
"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," he said.
