Possible Attack Against Rikishi is Not Ruled Out
However, during Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE Royal Rumble Review and BreakDown, former head writer Vince Russo presented concerns about the match’s implications.
So, Jey wins the Royal Rumble. Yeah, great. They’re going to build up. He’s never beat Gunther. He’s going to wrestle Gunther at WrestleMania. He’s going to beat Gunther. Okay, and this does what for Gunther? This knocks Gunther further down now.
Current patterns suggest a potential storyline development involving WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, who could play a pivotal role in Uso’s championship decision. The World Heavyweight Champion’s recent pattern of confronting WWE legends could lead to an interaction with Rikishi, potentially influencing his son’s WrestleMania choice.
