On last week’s RAW, Bron Breakker defeated Jey Uso with the help of The Bloodline to win back the Intercontinental Championship, thus ending Jey’s title reign at 28 days.
WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi had the following to say about his son’s title reign ending on his podcast:
“I think it was too soon.
If I’m the promoter, I’m only gonna go speak business wise, you know, finally Jey had gotten his flowers with the belt that he so rightfully earned and deserved it.
Now we got it on this kid here. He’s well over.
Now this character, this Yeet man, is through the roof as far as notoriety. Probably selling the number one hottest merchandise, if not close to OTC, maybe surpassed it.
Now you see the different sides of the merchandise. He’s got merchandise with every city he goes to. Here’s a Yeet T-Shirt for Philadelphia.
There’s a Yeet T-Shirt for New York. So, you know, from a marketing standpoint, you’re only going to do even more, better, good business if you leave that on this kid.
I’m not saying that because he’s my boy. I’m not saying that; I’m speaking as a promoter now, because at the end of the day, this is what it’s about. It’s about numbers. It’s about revenues.”
