Rikishi says it is not fair that Jey Uso lost the WWE world title: “What is it against my boy?”

As seen during the June 9th 2025 edition of WWE RAW, Jey Uso lost the world heavyweight title against Gunther in a rematch from WrestleMania 41. While speaking on his podcast, Jey’s father Rikishi discussed the title change…

“Here’s what I feel. I feel that those 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. And then that’s it. All of a sudden, the brains don’t went just cloudy. You can’t write. You can’t think of an angle for Jay. Well, if you can’t do your job, I say, best endeavors. Get the hell out the way. Put somebody in that position. Because the longer you keep the belt on this kid, the longer you… We talk about what’s good for business, merchandise sales to the roof. That’s what it is. That’s what I knew. If you can’t make money for the company, why are you in that position? So now they pass the belt on to Gunther for whatever reason. Hey, I ain’t got no I ain’t got no beef with Gunther.”

“I ain’t got no beef with any of those that are on the roster. I ain’t got no beef with that. And if I do, I’m going to say it to your face because that’s just the type of man I am. But let me back up. Good luck. Good luck if that’s what your choice is to go that away. But let me back up and continue my thoughts on my son as far as his run as the world champion. I didn’t think it was justice. I didn’t think it was fair. 51 days, that was it. I mean, a short run, that was it. What is it? What is it against my boy that you just feel like… Would you have done that to Randy Orton? If you threw the belt on Randy Orton for him? Would you have done John Cena? I mean, let’s talk about it. Because last I knew, the last time we’ve seen WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, damn it, he had the whole arena. The whole arena. Yeet, yeet, yeet, your motherf*ck ass, yeet. So come on. Come on. Somebody tell me. Tell me, what is it?”

“The bloodline has gave our heart and soul to this industry. Seventy-five plus years. Past, present, and future. And this is the way we treat it. This is the way you all look at us. This ain’t right, man. Ain’t right. We’ve never been a problem. We’ve always been the source. The last I knew, the bloodline from Roman Reigns all the way down to the Usos continuing on to Solo, Jacob Fatu. The last time knew, back when it was COVID, fans were on the screen of TV. Who kept WWE afloat? Come on. You all want to talk? You all want to go there? Let’s go facts, man. Let’s do facts. This was way before TKO came in the picture.”
