Rikishi sends a cryptic message after The Bloodline's actions on WWE SmackDown
Rikishi recently sent a cryptic message after The Bloodline attacked Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton on WWE SmackDown. The heel faction launched a vicious assault on The Viper and made The American Nightmare watch the attack.
Following Rhodes' victory over AJ Styles in their "I Quit" match, The Bloodline reignited their feud with The American Nightmare. This led to Jacob Fatu's WWE debut, as he saved Solo Sikoa and was introduced as the new member of the faction.
On X/Twitter, Rikishi sent a cryptic message, tweeting the laughing emoji without any clear context.
Check out Rikishi's tweet below:
During the closing moments of the latest episode of SmackDown, Sikoa and his stablemates ambushed Rhodes and then took out Orton when he came to make the save, hitting him with a Triple Powerbomb through the announce table.
At the 2024 Money in the Bank Premium Live Event, Sikoa pinned Rhodes and he could be challenging for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam 2024.
Dutch Mantell discussed The Bloodline's storyline and Roman Reigns' inevitable return to WWE
Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell is excited about Roman Reigns' return to the Stamford-based promotion and his inevitable face-off with Solo Sikoa.
While speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk podcast, Mantell discussed the current Bloodline storyline and felt that the company had several ways of building up the feud and being creative in the process.
"What I would like is for Solo and Roman to face off. And who's gonna acknowledge who? What they've done is they've opened all these doors so we're not locked in a corner. They got different ways to go and they'll bring it all together at SummerSlam and going further down the road," Dutch Mantell said.
Since losing to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL, Reigns has been absent from WWE television. Meanwhile, Sikoa has taken charge of The Bloodline, recruiting new members including Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. The heel faction removed Jimmy Uso as well as Paul Heyman, who refused to acknowledge Sikoa as his Tribal Chief.
At SummerSlam 2024, Sikoa is expected to face Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. It remains to be seen if WWE plans on bringing back The Head of the Table by the end of the night.
