Rikishi: I Feel Like I Was The Missing Piece For Jey And Jimmy Usos Match At WrestleMania XL
Rikishi wishes he could have been part of history.
WrestleMania XL featured the culmination of the rivalry between Jimmy and Jey Uso. Brothers turned bitter rivals who knew the only place to settle their feud was at the grandest stage of them all.
In the end, Jey would have the last laugh on both incidents from their match and in the main event of night two between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
During a conversation on Rikishi Fatu Off The Top, this is what the WWE Hall of Famer had to say about watching his sons go to war.
“First of all, I’d like to send a big shoutout to my sons. To be able to finally their dream match in this industry that they’ve been wanting for a long time, I felt like they went out there, they delivered. I only wish that they could have had a little bit more time. I felt like there was a missing puzzle there, which is the guy who you’re listening to now. Hashtag I never got to ‘Call Rikishi.’ So I felt had…they did great without me, but just to add a little more into the match, it would have been a great opportunity, not only for the fans but also myself, on a personal level, to be able to grace the stage with your kids. That’s a memory that will forever be in stone in our family. But at the end of the day, I don’t make the calls. I didn’t lie about it. I was right close by, I was in Philadelphia. Everybody knew where I was at, but I never got the call,” Rikishi said.
In the end, Jey pinned his brother Jimmy and now, Jimmy has been exiled from the Bloodline by his younger brother Solo Sikoa and the debuting Tama Tonga.
