Rikishi reacts to Solo Sikoa 'crowning' Tama Tonga "King of the Ring" on WWE SmackDown
Rikishi has reacted to Solo Sikoa 'crowning' Tama Tonga King of the Ring on tonight's edition of SmackDown. The Enforcer seems more than confident that Tama Tonga will become the KOTR winner in Saudi Arabia.
On SmackDown, Tama Tonga defeated LA Knight to reach the semifinals of the King of the Ring tournament. Randy Orton also won the quarterfinals and will now face The Bloodline member in the semis.
As the show ended, Solo Sikoa took an invisible crown and put it on Tonga's head on SmackDown, hinting at his potential future. The video caught Rikishi's attention, and he shared it on his official Instagram story.
Check out the screengrab below:
Tama Tonga made his WWE debut after WrestleMania XL and launched an attack on Jimmy Uso. He and Solo Sikoa kicked Jimmy out of The Bloodline and brought in Tanga Loa soon after.
If Tama defeats The Viper in the semifinals, he will head to Saudi Arabia to compete for the King of the Ring crown. Tonga will face Gunther or former Bloodline member Jey Uso at the Premium Live Event.
Do you see Tama Tonga beating Orton and Gunther/Jey to become the 2024 King of the Ring?
