Rikishi Believes Jacob Fatu Is Being 'Pushed Too Fast' By WWE

As The Bloodline's imposing enforcer, Jacob Fatu has been put in a prominent position since his April WWE debut. According to his uncle and trainer Rikishi, however, Fatu might be getting a little too much, too soon. 

Discussing his nephew's WWE run thus far during a recent edition of his Off The Top podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer said: 

"I think Jacob is being pushed too fast. When you go to Cody, where do you go from there? Cody is the guy right now. I've said this before, let Jacob rampage through the whole roster. Give him a couple those enhancement matches to build. He don't need but three minutes. Again, we've seen Jacob however long he's been on, a couple months or whatever, but is there anything different? You can only do so much on a run-in. This is what I'm saying. You really want to go with a guy? Show his talent, let him have not a match-match, [but] a squash match just so he can show his potential of what else this kid can do".

Rikishi recently caused concern while asking fans to 'pray' for his son, WWE star Jimmy Uso. WWE later (in speaking with Fightful) clarified that Jimmy was fine.
