Jey Uso has shown great work in WWE for several recent years. He ranks as one of the best singles players. At WrestleMania 41, Jey wrestled past Gunther to become the newest World Heavyweight Champion. In 2025, he was the winner of the Royal Rumble match. After winning the title, his matches have not stood out much. The change has upset both Hisuka’s father and the legendary pro wrestler Rikishi. He has tried to express his frustration by criticising the company. WWE has arranged a match at Money In The Bank 2025 between John Cena and Logan Paul and Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. Rikishi is very unhappy with this bout. Other wrestlers might also have felt dissatisfied with this decision of the company. I wish his defending his title would have been part of the storey.
What Did WWE Legend Rikishi Say?
Rikishi criticized the company for booking Jey in a tag team match at Money In The Bank 2025. On the Off The Top podcast, he said, “Why is that? Jey Uso is the World Heavyweight Champion. There really needs to be a firing of the creative service over there. Book me so I can book my son’s match. Bringing Logan Paul to face Jey Uso was fine. Logan has heat, and this is his spotlight. So you defeated Paul and now where are you going, into a tag team bout?”

The Saturday Night’s Main Event Was Very Chaotic
At the most recent Saturday Night’s Main Event, Jey Uso was challenged for the World Heavyweight Championship by Logan Paul. They played very well against each other. Jey was just moments away from victories when John Cena took the referee out of the match. Cena assaulted Jey. To rescue Jey, Cody Rhodes showed up and entered the ring. Jey was able to keep the champion belt because of Cody. Afterward, Cody suggested a tag team match at Money In The Bank between Cena, Paul and himself. In the most recent SmackDown, Cody Rhodes, John Cena, Jey Uso and Logan Paul appeared in a segment. People shared what they felt about violence. A number of them engaged in a major brawl. Cena and Paul were defeated when it came right down to it. Their competition has turned into something really interesting. The Money In The Bank match should offer a lot of laughs.
