Rikishi slams Triple H: ‘Don’t let my family be used in scripts!’

In a recent interview, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi expressed his deep dissatisfaction with the way Triple H and WWE’s creative team are using members of the Anoa’i family, especially his two children, Jey and Jimmy Uso. He believes they are being used as props in scripts without receiving the respect they deserve.

Rikishi stressed that the Anoa’i family has contributed a lot to WWE and deserves to be treated fairly. He criticized WWE for having Jey Uso, who recently won the world championship, participate in a tag team match at Money in the Bank 2025, instead of continuing to develop as a singles champion. He believes this not only devalues Jey but also reflects a lack of respect for his family’s contributions. timesofindia.indiatimes.com

He called on Triple H and WWE to reconsider the way they treat members of the Anoa’i family.
Rikishi concluded that WWE needs to change its approach and be more respectful towards families in the company. He hopes that Triple H and the creative team will listen and make fairer decisions in the future.
With these strong statements, Rikishi has attracted the attention of the fan community and experts. Many people agree with his point of view and hope that WWE will make positive changes to be more respectful towards stars and their families.
