Rikishi sends message to Roman Reigns amid WWE absence; asks important question
WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi has asked wrestling fans a very interesting question ahead of RAW and has delivered a message to Roman Reigns.
The Tribal Chief defended the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes in the main event of Night Two of WrestleMania XL. The Bloodline, John Cena, Jey Uso, Seth Rollins, and The Undertaker all got involved in the match. The American Nightmare picked up the victory after hitting three Cross Rhodes in a row. Reigns has not appeared on WWE television since his loss.
Rikishi took to Instagram ahead of tonight's edition of WWE RAW in Columbus and asked fans an important question. He wondered if fans were starting to miss Roman Reigns and if wrestling was the same without The Head of the Table on TV.
While asking fans his question he also sent a message to Reigns by referring to him as "GOD MODE", as seen in his post below. Quite a compliment coming from the WWE Hall of Famer.
"🩸☝🏾 GOD MODE. Do you miss @romanreigns your Tribal Chief 🇼🇸🇦🇸 ??? Is wrestling the same without him on tv ?? #Bloodline #samoandynasty #GOAT #AboveALL," he wrote.

Cody Rhodes reveals Roman Reigns was nowhere to be found following WWE WrestleMania XL
Cody Rhodes has shared that he did not have a conversation with Roman Reigns backstage after their Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match at The Show of Shows this month.
Speaking on the SI Media podcast, Rhodes stated that Reigns was not in Gorilla Position backstage following the match. He noted that the two stars didn't need to have another moment at WrestleMania XL and he looks forward to speaking with him in the future.
"I'll say this. When you do something so special and epic, and I'm specifically talking about his run as champion... When you change the landscape of a company, when you help better the locker room situation for the talent surrounding you, when you bring the entire tide up for one company, which Roman did, and then you're part of something like Wrestlemania 40 - I believe it was the ninth or his 10th main event of a WrestleMania - you're part of that in the oddest of ways. This might sound odd, we don't need to have a moment. He was nowhere to be found in Gorilla when I got back. And I look forward to when we actually do have that moment and get to see one another," said Rhodes. [24:17-25:19]
Solo Sikoa has seemingly assumed a leadership role in The Bloodline following Roman Reigns' loss. The Enforcer has kicked Jimmy Uso out of the faction and introduced Tama Tonga on SmackDown. It will be interesting to see how Reigns responds when he returns down the line.
