Rikishi shares clip of Jacob Fatu publicly declaring his Bloodline allegiance
WWE Hall of Famer and real-life Bloodline member Rikishi recently took to social media to share a clip of Jacob Fatu and his teammates' actions on Friday Night SmackDown. The Samoan Stinker is Jacob's real-life uncle.
Cody Rhodes opened this week's edition of the blue brand, cutting a promo about The Bloodline's attack on Randy Orton last week. He was then interrupted by A-Town Down Under, who blamed Rhodes for Jacob Fatu's attack on Austin Theory. A brawl broke out between The American Nightmare and Theory & Grayson Waller. During the main event of the show, The American Nightmare teamed up with Kevin Owens to lock horns with the A-Town Down Under, which ended in Rhodes' favor.
After their bout, The Bloodline came out to attack the Undisputed WWE Champion and his teammate. However, Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens took control of the situation, before Jacob Fatu came out of nowhere to start an assault on them. Fatu brutally attacked Owens and helped Sikoa put Rhodes through the announcer's table.
WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi recently took to his Instagram Stories to upload a video of Jacob Fatu declaring his Bloodline allegiance. The legend has reacted to Solo Sikoa's stable on several occasions in the past as well and has also acknowledged Jacob Fatu's actions.

Rikishi talked about his interest in being a part of The Bloodline on WWE television
During an edition of his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi said that he would be interested in a WWE return. The legend also mentioned that he would join Solo Sikoa's faction on the Stamford-based promotion's television if the creative does not need him to be on the road with them all the time.
"Would I be interested? Of course, I would. But it’d just have to work for both sides. I’m at a part of my life, it’s like more than wrestling to me now. I’ve been there, done that for 30-something years, dedicated my life to the professional wrestling industry of being on the road, doing the thing, what I’m supposed to do out there. I don’t know, honestly, if the demands of being a part of The Bloodline, if in case it comes to the point where I need to be on the road a lot, then I’m not kind of interested," he said.
Rikishi's son, Solo Sikoa, is now set to face off against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam. It will be interesting to see if The American Nightmare can successfully defend his title against the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief.
