WWE Hall of Famer could return to fix current issues in The Bloodline

The Bloodline appears to be broken beyond repair at the moment, with three key members of the group currently absent from WWE TV. Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso have been at odds for a while, leading to Jey "quitting" the company over a week ago.

One man that could solve the issues within The Bloodline is WWE Hall of Famer and The Usos' father, Rikishi. He has repeatedly teased returning to TV to join his family members in the storyline. The former champion's last televised appearance came at Survivor Series 2020 during The Undertaker's retirement ceremony.

Rikishi can't make his return as the happy, dancing star that rose to fame in the Stamford-based company. He needs to be serious to sort out the issues in his family. Hence, he could alter his on-screen persona to be a part of this angle.

Will Rikishi return to WWE ahead of Payback 2023?

Rikishi could return to WWE as soon as this week on SmackDown when Jimmy Uso will make his comeback. Jimmy's father could confront him and make it clear that what he did to his brother at SummerSlam was unacceptable and that he needed to fix it.

There are rumors that Rikishi could even be the special guest referee for a match between Jey and Jimmy in the future. If he was to make his return and be a heel in this situation, then he might need to adopt a more serious persona.

The Rock is another Samoan who has been rumored to return as part of The Bloodline saga. However, he has yet to show up on TV.

Do you think Rikishi will make his return in the coming weeks? Should he portray a heel gimmick upon his comeback? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
