Jey Uso has revealed why his father, Rikishi wasn’t involved in the WrestleMania XL match between himself and Jimmy Uso.

According to Jey, he believes that if Rikishi was the guest referee, he wouldn’t be able to get back up. With that being said, Jey believes that Rikishi delivering a promo on the road to WrestleMania could have helped.

Jey discussed Rikishi during an interview with Mail Sport:

“Hell yeah, I always wanted my dad involved, whether it be a referee… I just don’t think my dad could have kept up, just getting up and down, because referees, they’re doing like, push up burpees the whole match too, they’re getting a great workout. Maybe like a go-home promo, just some kind of cool promo segment. There might be another time for it.”

Jey is the talk of the wrestling world currently, as he defeated Ilja Dragunov on RAW.
