In the latest edition of Off The Top, Rikishi apologised to fans for losing his composure, but noted that he isn’t apologising for looking out for his family.

Addressing his previous comments about Jey Uso’s title loss, Rikishi said:

“I’m going to apologize to the fans, because, you know, you never see me like that. But you know what the apology is this, you were listening and looking at a man, not the professional wrestler. You were looking and listening to a father, not the professional wrestler.

“I have feelings too, my family has feelings too, just like your family, just like everybody else out there, everybody has feelings, but the difference is I’m not scared to talk about it. I’m not scared to let everybody know, because when it comes to our family, that’s just who we are.

“So whether you see it like I went off the cuff and was crying about this… it’s not crying. It’s the love I have for my family.

“If you took my words any other way, okay, I’m man enough to apologize. But I’m not gonna apologize for me being a father and being able to love and stand on business for my family, and that’s that.”
