After taking somemuch-needed time off to heal post-WrestleMania 40, Jimmy Uso finally made his shocking return at Bad Blood last week. Before his return, Rikishi created concern by asking for prayers for his son on social media, leading to rumors about Jimmys health and Rikishi has now clarified his comments.
On Twitter,Rikishi shared a heartfelt message, asking fans to pray for his sons strength and health, referring to him by his real name, Jonathan Fatu. Rikishi posted a video of Jimmy Uso and this worried fans in a big way.
While speaking on his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi clarified that his message was misunderstood. He explained that he wasnt implying Jimmy was in the hospital or facing serious health issues. Rikishi simply wanted to ask for prayers for his sons well-being, as any father would. Despite the innocent intention, Rikishi mentioned he received backlash for the post.
Thankfully, Jimmy Uso is well and is currently engaged in a solid storyline with Roman Reigns as they look to dismantle the New Bloodline on Friday Night SmackDown. Therefore, well have to wait and see how their storyline progresses in the coming weeks, as its clear Rikishi wont be making comments about Jimmy Usos health again.
