Backstage Update On Jimmy Uso's WWE Status; Latest On Zilla Fatu


-- Jimmy Uso has been noticeably absent from WWE TV as of late and a recent online remark from his father, WWE Hall of Famer, Rikishi, asking for people to "pray for his boy" set off some alarms on the health of the former multi-time champion. In an update, fightful.com's Sean Ross Sapp stated that numerous talent have stated that they reached out to Jimmy and that he was doing "fine" without providing more information. Dave Meltzer of f4wonline.com separately reported that he believes Jimmy is simply off TV for creative reasons with WWE waiting until the right time to bring him back, which some feel will be happening within the next couple of weeks.

-- Zilla Fatu recently no-showed some GCW events after having a disagreement with the promotion about an agreed pay rate. His management team was looking to discuss the situation with GCW prior to the events, but the meeting never happened and he was pulled from the events. While the two sides remain in some contact, it's unclear if Zilla will be returning to GCW. For anyone wondering, he is not signed to a WWE contract as some believed his absence on the GCW show was related to a relationship with WWE.
