Rikishi wants these two members of The Bloodline to face off against one another.
2024 saw Jey Uso finally achieve singles success in WWE as his Intercontinental Championship win in September marking his first taste of singles gold in the company. While Uso lost the title back to Bron Breakker less than a month later due to interference from Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline, the star remains central to WWE programming and popular with fans.
Jacob Fatu, meanwhile, has made a splash since his WWE debut in June, establishing himself as a force in the new Bloodline led by Solo Sikoa.
Rikishi Wants To See A Rocky-Like Story With Jey Uso And This Bloodline Star
Speaking on a recent edition of his Off the Top podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi spoke about his son Jey’s singles success and indicated he’d like to see Jey Uso go one on one with Jacob Fatu.
“I would like to see Jey run with Jacob. You can imagine, man. Run some type of storyline with The Werewolf and [Jey] and just really get deep into the storytelling. I’m talking about getting to the hospital and something where you think it’s career-ending for Jey and out of nowhere, with working hard and therapy, whatever that is, it’s like that ‘Rocky’ movie coming back. Finally, when he gets back, it’s that WrestleMania moment or Royal Rumble moment, which goes into WrestleMania.
Those two, I feel they could have an A-plus match, and I think it’ll be a great treat for the fans to be able to watch a dream match like that.”
