The legendary father of Jimmy and Jey Uso posted a message on social media Friday that has some WWE fans worried about a rift in the family.
The Usos have become one of the most impactful tag teams in WWE history. For a long time, they were seen as a rock-solid duo with a decent fan base and some talented relatives. However, when they were allowed to turn heel and be themselves, their careers took a massive turn upward.
After an impressive run as a heel tag team, they were shockingly able to top that as members of the original Bloodline. And would not only go on to have the longest tag title reign in history, but they were part of the biggest storyline of this generation. They even broke barriers by main-eventing at WrestleMania 39.
Without a doubt, Jimmy Uso and his brother Jey Uso were made for this industry. They have many relatives in the business, including Roman Reigns, and their father Rikishi had a memorable run in the company as well.
The second generation stars have always publicly had a strong bond with their father. However, things may now be on shaky ground.
Is there family drama between Rikishi and his sons Jimmy and Jey Uso?
In a surprising post on Instagram this week, Rikishi seemed to send a veiled message at one of his sons. “No matter your age, it’s never okay to speak disrespectfully to your parents,” he wrote in an IG story post.
The Usos have one sister and two brothers, including new Bloodline leader Solo Sikoa. So that message could be directed to one of them. It could also be intended as a general opinion on respect toward a parent from their offspring. It is nonetheless surprising.
Rikishi has been outspoken on his podcast about his dissatisfaction with how Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso have been booked over the last couple of years. His sons have stayed quiet about his comments. Wrestling fans are surely hoping that the social message from the WWE veteran isn’t a sign of drama inside the Fatu family.
