Rikishi Says He’s Not Against WWE, Calls WWE ‘The Dynasty’s Home’

Rikishi recently clarified comments he made about the notion of Jey Uso potentially leaving WWE, noting that he isn’t against the company. The WWE Hall of Famer previously said on his Off the Top podcast that WWE wasn’t the only place he could go, noting:

“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.”

Rikishi addressed his comments on the latest episode of his podcast, stating that fans “twist[ed] my words.” You can see the highlights from his latest comments below, per Fightful:

On backlash to his comments about WWE: “I can’t even call it. When was the last time you’ve ever seen anything like that? I’m a fan now. I don’t even want to say anything no more because every time I say something, I make news, and then people twist my words, like I’m against WWE. I’m not against WWE. Why would I be against WWE?”

On his comments about Jey Uso: “If you’re gonna talk about what I said, please make sure you put down exact, don’t twist my words around. I’m gonna say it again, WWE is The Dynasty’s home, period. We are not going nowhere, we don’t plan to go nowhere. The past, present, and future. Give me a YEET on that.”
