WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi recently shared a message about his son, Jimmy Uso, causing concern among fans. Jimmy began his singles career after betraying his brother, Jey Uso, last year at SummerSlam. This betrayal led Jey to switch brands and launch his singles career on RAW.
Jey Uso has thrived in his solo run, but Jimmy has attacked him multiple times, impacting his many title opportunities. Their feud reached a peak at WWE WrestleMania 40, where Jimmy lost to Jey in a significant match. After WrestleMania 40, Solo Sikoa, who had taken over The Bloodline, attacked Jimmy Uso on SmackDown in April. This attack also marked the debut of Tama Tonga, with both Tonga and Sikoa brutally assaulting Jimmy. Since then, the latter has been absent from WWE programming.
The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns returned at WWE SummerSlam, but Jimmy’s status remained uncertain. Many fans anticipated Jimmy would align with Reigns to fight Solo Sikoa and the new Bloodline, but nothing came of these expectations. Amid his absence, Rikishi posted a heartfelt message on X (formerly Twitter), asking fans to pray for Jimmy’s strength and health. This message intensified fan concern over his well-being. Recent reports have now provided updates on his status.

Sapp wrote on X, “In following up with people in WWE, they say that they’ve spoken to Jimmy Uso, who says he’s fine. I don’t have any further context beyond that.”
While Sean Ross Sapp has delivered reassuring news for Jimmy’s fans, many are still waiting to see when he will make his return to WWE television.
