'I could have just been part of the commentary' - Rikishi

The father of Usos wished to be a part of the match in some capacity after watching it on TV. He felt that being a special guest referee would have been fitting for the match. Rikishi felt that being a manager was impossible as it would mean biasedness on one side. He added that even being a part of the commentary would have been good for the match. 

"After watching the match, maybe…what would be right for me to be a special guest referee? That’s what I felt. I couldn’t be a manager because then it would show favour, which side I’m leaning to. Or I could have just been part of the commentary for that one match if they’d seen fit," said Rikishi. Younger Uso emerged victorious in the match.
