"I don't trust him" - Sami Zayn's true allegiance questioned by real-life Bloodline member
After the kick that was felt all around the world, Sami Zayn joined Roman Reigns and The Usos on SmackDown this Friday. Although it took a while to get there, Zayn appears to finally be on board with the OG Bloodline on one thing, it is time to end the new version now run by Solo Sikoa. But WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi is unsure if Zayn will remain loyal to the good side in this war.
In Riyadh last Saturday, Sami Zayn hit Roman Reigns with a Helluva Kick. Although this was an accident, his past with the OG Bloodline has been rough. On Friday, Zayn asked Reigns to apologize to Jey, but the OTC ridiculed the former Honorary Uce. As a result of everything that has happened over the last few years till now, Rikishi questioned where Zayn's true allegiance lies.
There was an interesting moment later on SmackDown after Sikoa challenged Reigns to a WarGames match; he claimed Zayn was the fifth member of his team. Speaking on Rikishi Fatu Off The Top, Rikishi reiterated that he likes Sami Zayn. But added that he does not trust him.
"I don't trust him. And so, at the end of the day, blood is always going to be thicker than water," Rikishi said. [26:20 to 26:28]
The WWE Hall of Famer also talked about how Solo Sikoa was building for the future and felt he was capable of possibly brainwashing Sami Zayn into joining his Bloodline.
"Looking at what Solo is building, Solo is getting ready for the future; possibly to lead into the new wave of the future. So for now, I want to say this to Sami: enjoy your ride," Rikishi added. [33:04 to 33:30]

Sami Zayn has joined Roman Reigns for WWE Survivor Series: WarGames
SmackDown culminated with Sami Zayn raising his hand to make 'the one' gesture, also signaling that he had decided to team up with Roman Reigns and The Usos to take down Solo Sikoa's Bloodline.
This came after Sikoa attempted to assume control over Zayn, something that the latter is no stranger to within The Bloodline. Roman Reigns had the same to him before.
Meanwhile, The Underdog From The Underground siding with the OTC is not likely to sit well with another SmackDown star; a former friend who has turned to the dark side recently.
