WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi supports his son Jey Uso’s decision to challenge Gunther at WrestleMania 41

Rikishi broke his silence after his son Jey Uso challenged Gunther for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41. In a recent podcast, WWE Legend Rikishi delved into a conversation about his son, Jey Uso who recently challenged Gunther at WrestleMania 41. For the major event, Jey Uso chose to challenge The Ring General over Cody Rhodes. This comes after he had challenged Cody Rhodes on SmackDown and Gunther on RAW, while he kept his options open for the big night, he ended up challenging Gunther for the match.

This comes after last week when Jey challenged the Imperium leader for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. This would mark his third clash against Gunther. In the previous two matches, Gunther has emerged as the undisputed winner.
Uso's father Rikishi took to the recent edition of his Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast where he spoke about his son's decision to challenge Gunther. He validated Jey Uso’s decision to challenge Gunther, as they share a lot of history between them. He was confident about The Yeet Master dropping one of his best performances at this year's Showcase of The Immortals.
Speaking at the podcast, he shared, "I think Jey made the right decision. There's history there between him and Gunther. You know, after not getting the job done in two opportunities, this means something now. You're getting a third time to crack at this thing here but the only difference is, it is on the biggest, grandest stage of them all. So, I don't see anything else but the best performance ever from Jey going into WrestleMania,"

He also commented on how Jey Uso has a huge fandom who has memorized every single word of his entry song. He shared, "Have you ever seen an arena that lit in so many years? Have you ever seen that? Did you ever see a John Cena arena go like that? Did you see a Rock arena go like that? Did you see Rikishi arena, Too Cool, go like that? And then on top of that, you know people invested in it when they come singing your song. They know every single word. I'll tell you what, I got a grandson that's five, he knows every single word on that Yeet track."
