Roman Reigns came back to SmackDown on September 13, and it was a big moment for WWE and the Bloodline. Fans were surprised when Reigns teamed up with Cody Rhodes to go against the new Bloodline. But one thing was missing—Jimmy Uso.
While the focus was all on Roman, no one asked about Jimmy’s absence. However, Rikishi later posted a mysterious tweet that hinted at why Jimmy wasn’t at SmackDown.
Fans were worried about Jimmy Uso after Rikishi’s post on Wednesday, which suggested Jimmy might be having a difficult time and needs support. The tweet included a backstage clip of Jimmy with a voiceover asking, “Dear God, grant me the strength I need to continue on this journey; give me hope and endurance in the face of difficulty.”
Since no one from Jimmy’s family—his twin Jey Uso, his wife Naomi, or Rikishi himself—has addressed the cryptic message, fans show their concerns by flooding the post’s comment section with a large number of responses and prayers.
Moreover, the significant concern has led some to seek more information from the WWE Hall of Fame repeatedly.
Fans react to Rikishi’s mysterious post about Jimmy Uso
Following Rikishi’s mysterious tweet, fans are buzzing with concern about their favorite superstar. The post keeps everyone on edge and is filled with questions.
Some fans, like @wrestling_jazz, are asking, “Wait!! What happened?!?” while @REIGNS375 is sending prayers, saying, “We’re praying for you, Jimmy.”
@xAboutWrestling is both concerned and confused, writing, “What happend?? My Prayers Jimmy.”
The vague post also upset some fans. @TooSweetMeBro expressed frustration, saying, “Now, this is in no way, shape, or form me demanding anything from you or your family.” However you can’t tweet something like this out without giving any context and expect people to not worry about him. This is not good at all because now we don’t know what to think.”
