WWE Hall of Famer's comments possibly causing backstage heat for Jey Uso; wrestling veteran shares his thoughts

WWE Superstar Jey Uso is one of the biggest babyfaces in the Stamford-based company at the moment. The Yeet Master is getting top reactions from the fans and a big push from the creative.

Jey's father, Rikishi, who is a WWE Hall of Famer, has been vocal about how the company has booked his son over the last year. He criticized the creative team for not having concrete plans for The Yeet Master last year. However, The Samoan Stinker was also elated when Uso won the Intercontinental Championship and claimed that WWE had finally rewarded his son for all the hard work he had put in over a decade.

On a recent episode of the Keepin' It 100 OFFICIAL podcast, wrestling veteran Disco Inferno mentioned that WWE was professional enough not to let Rikishi's comments affect his son's booking. He felt that the creative team would probably chuckle at the 59-year-old legend's comments, but that would not cause any backstage heat for Jey Uso:

"No, you're not gonna let that affect the booking. That's absurd. As a matter of fact, stuff like that is laughed at." [0:41 - 0:47]
