Rikishi finally breaks silence on Jimmy & Jey reuniting The Usos on WWE SmackDown

Rikishi has broken his silence following The Usos' reunion last Friday on WWE SmackDown. Jimmy and Jey Uso agreed to bury the hatchet for the time being to help Roman Reigns deal with The Bloodline at Crown Jewel.

After Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu cost Jey Uso the Intercontinental Championship on RAW two weeks ago, The Yeet Master showed up in the blue brand. He helped The Motor City Machine Guns beat The Tongans to become the new WWE Tag Team Champions.

It led to the emotional reunion between Jimmy and Jey at the end of Friday's episode of SmackDown. Reigns was staring at The Usos as the show reached its conclusion.

On the latest episode of his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi reacted to The Usos finally reuniting after a year. The team split in late 2023 when Jimmy helped Reigns retain the Undisputed WWE Championship against Jey at SummerSlam.

"My goodness, I mean what other father wouldn't be happy? And I've always had confidence in the boys that they would figure it out. They're young men. They've been through the grind. They've been through the business. They've been through hard times, they've been through good times together. Sometimes you need to separate from each other to be able to grow," Rikishi said.

Jey Uso open to The Usos vs. Motor City Machine Guns matchup

Speaking to Metro UK last month during WWE's European Tour, Jey Uso opened up about reuniting with Jimmy and possibly making some dream matches come true. He expressed his desire to face The Motor City Machine Guns as well as The Lucha Bros.

"I would like to, and if I did go with the Motor City Machine Guns, I would like for my brother to do (it with me). I would like to do it with Jimmy because I feel like with Jimmy, Sami (Zayn) is easy too, but I feel like with Jimmy, man, we are the best tag team in the world. We've done everything, but I feel like if we did have a comeback, man, I would like to run with those guys (MCMG), a couple guys from NXT, maybe the Lucha Bros," Jey said.

It will be interesting to see if The Usos will continue teaming up past Crown Jewel as signs point to a potential WarGames match between the two Bloodline factions at Survivor Series.
