Real-life Bloodline member releases new song in honor of WWE family
The Bloodline is widely regarded as the most dominant family and faction in WWE history. The talent from the Anoa'i family and the Samoans of pro wrestling transcends the industry, as we've seen with The Rock in Hollywood. Now, another real-life Bloodline member is releasing new music.
Rikishi Fatu has held many roles in his 39-year career, from Headshrinker Fatu to The Sultan to Phatu of Too Cool. The WWE Hall of Famer is also the father to Solo Sikoa and The Usos. He has made several TV and film appearances over the years, and earlier this year, he began releasing new hip-hop music.
The "I'm a Bad Man" album features tracks like Dynasty Forever, Still a Bad Man, Do It for the Bay, and The Sultan - a diss track aimed at Hulk Hogan and dedicated to The Iron Sheik.
The latest track from the former Intercontinental Champion is a nod to The Bloodline. Titled We The Ones after the popular catchphrase, Rikishi explained the idea behind the song on Instagram. He credited DJ Clientel of Hieranarchy Media of producing the single, which can be heard below.
"We The Ones. During the Bloodine run, that was our motto. I wanted to make a song that puts that saying into better perspective. Our family history is extensive, it covers multiple eras and continues through the modern era of professional wrestling and entertainment. The Bloodline is the timeline. This song is produced by DJ Clientel of Hieranarchy Media Group. Shout out to my team for putting another banner together! @frankiebraggadocio @1m.valentine @clientel678 @hieranarchymediagroup #Rikishi #WeTheOnes #Dynasty #Samoans #Bloodline #Hiphop #bestbelievethat"
The Usos inducted their father into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015. Rikishi's last WWE match came on January 6, 2014, at the Old School RAW special. He teamed with Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty to reunite Too Cool for a win over 3MB.
WWE Championship opportunity coming for The Bloodline?
Saturday's Clash at the Castle: Scotland PLE opened up with Cody Rhodes defeating AJ Styles in a brutal "I Quit" match to retain the WWE Championship. After the match, The American Nightmare was attacked by The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa.
The beatdown on Rhodes continued until Randy Orton and Kevin Owens made the save. It appears this angle will lead to a shot at the Undisputed Championship for the leader of The Bloodline while Roman Reigns is away: Sikoa.
A new report from the Wrestling Observer notes that officials have discussed a "big destination match" between Sikoa and Rhodes. It wasn't clear if this match will happen on July 6 at Money In the Bank, but a six-man tag team match with The Bloodline vs. Rhodes, Orton, and Owens is also rumored.
