Jey Uso shocked the WWE Universe at Saturday night’s Payback. He returned a few weeks after announcing he was leaving the promotion. Moreover, this was due to the growing turmoil within the Bloodline. The Usos’ father, Rikishi, reacted for the first time since this blockbuster revelation.

The Hall of Famer was seemingly fed up with his sons fighting among themselves. Also, there have been several rumors regarding the appearance of an Anoa’i family member. However, it seems unlikely given the separation of the twins after Jey Uso was drafted to RAW.
