Rikishi picks a side for The Bloodline Civil War at WWE Survivor Series: War Games; Shocking twist predicted for Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa's factions
WWE legend Rikishi recently picked a side between Roman Reigns' OG Bloodline and Solo Sikoa's stable ahead of Survivor Series: WarGames. The Original Tribal Chief's team is currently outnumbered against Sikoa's side.
On last week's edition of WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns' OG Bloodline went into a brawl against The Bloodline. However, when it looked like Reigns had the upper hand, everyone was surprised as Bronson Reed came out of nowhere to take The OTC out. Reed was then revealed as the fifth member of Sikoa's team.
During a live Q&A with fans on the Off The Top podcast, Rikishi was asked if Solo Sikoa's Bloodline had the upper hand against Roman Reigns' OG lineup. The Samoan Stinker said that although Roman's side had more experience, they had been working inside the ring for a long time and that might play a part in slowing them down.
"Well, I'll tell you this. Yes and no. The yes part is The Bloodline 2.0 is a lot younger team than Original Bloodline. Now The Original Bloodline, they've been putting in work for a long long time, 16-17 years... I know what it is, your bones break down, your body breaks down. There's old injuries that hasn't really really taken it's toll," he said.
Rikishi also mentioned that Solo Sikoa's side was young and hungry and that he why he believes that The Bloodline will win at Survivor Series: WarGames.
"When you look at the other side, you got young Solo [Sikoa]... You got [The Tongans]... Let's not forget about Jacob [Fatu]... When you have a young, hungry, talented group of guys like that, that hasn't really really made the name for themselves yet but given the opportunity to, man they're not looking back. And being put up against the main guys, The Original Bloodline, and working against all of the top stars, like Cody [Rhodes], Randy Orton, Kevin Owens... So you can just imagine how good this Bloodline 2.0 is going to be. So I'd have to go, for me Bloodline 2.0," he added. [From 10:56 to 13:55]
