Hall Of Famer Suggests Jey Uso Could Leave WWE For AEW

A Hall of Famer thinks Jey Uso might need to move on from WWE.

During his time in The Bloodline, Jey Uso reached a whole new level of stardom. While some expected the shine to fade when he moved to Raw in the second half of 2023, Uso has gone from strength to strength.

However, despite his incredible popularity, he remains some way from becoming World Champion. This has led to veterans like Booker T calling on WWE to do more with Jey Uso, even pushing him to the top of the card.

Speaking on the Off The Top podcast, Uso’s father Rikishi said it might be time for his son to take a break from WWE. The WWE Hall of Famer added that the company’s writers don’t know what to do with him.

“Once the Money in the Bank thing didn’t go through, I thought, let’s see what they do now. Maybe they will give him a shot. Maybe they’ll set him up for the I don’t know, the Intercontinental belt. I think he deserves a shot to [at] the World Championship.

I’m at this point where I want to call my son, ‘Go ahead and take a break. Obviously, the writers don’t know where to put you, or they can write something that is right for the character Jey Uso, The Yeet Man.’ I mentioned this, definitely, WWE is making money off The Yeet Man. The Yeet Man is making money himself. The only difference is The Yeet Man is working for his money. You see it every week.

There is new merchandise of Yeet coming out…..The Yeet Man is out doing personal appearances. I mean, it’s not because he has to. It’s because that’s the demand of the fans. Of all the characters they picked, they picked The Yeet Man. So what I’m saying is, make no mistake about it. I am not in favoritism of my son.

I’m speaking about what is happening because this could be any other wrestler. What is the case? Why aren’t you lighting this kid up and just letting him do his thing? I appreciate everybody…Let’s hope WWE gets it together and does the right thing.”

Jey Uso Could Go To AEW

Continuing on, Rikishi suggested Jey could “write his own ticket” to AEW where he’d make more money than he does in WWE.

“The kid is so good, WWE ain’t the only spot. He could probably go to AEW if he wants to write his own ticket, maybe more than what WWE is making on him…..Hopefully, they turn it around and do the right thing by The Yeet Man.”

Jey Uso is set to take part in a new tournament to decide a new number-one contender for the Intercontinental Title.
