Rikishi shares surprising comparison to the new Bloodline in WWE
WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi has shared an interesting reaction to a moment featuring the new Bloodline on this past Friday's edition of SmackDown. Solo Sikoa has assumed the role of leader in the heel faction following Roman Reigns' loss at WrestleMania XL.
Solo Sikoa has welcomed Tama Tonga to The Bloodline, and the veteran brutally attacked Kevin Owens this past Friday on SmackDown. Tonga also attacked Jimmy Uso on last Friday's episode of the blue brand at the order of Sikoa. The SmackDown star claimed that there must be consequences for losses and kicked Jimmy Uso out of the group after he failed to defeat Jey Uso at WrestleMania.
Rikishi is the father of The Usos and Solo Sikoa in real life. The WWE legend took to Instagram to react to a moment featuring the new Bloodline. The Hall of Famer posted a video of himself and Haku hopping out of the ring back in the day. He also shared a video of Tonga and Sikoa getting out of the ring and noted the similarities between the two videos 23 years later.

Former WWE manager reacts to The Bloodline's segment on SmackDown
Wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell has shared his reaction to the heel faction's attack on Kevin Owens this past Friday night on WWE SmackDown.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Mantell disclosed his opinion of the segment this past Friday night. He referred to the entire episode as a "maintenance show" and claimed that fans will have to wait a while before the story gets more interesting.
"Meh! It was good, but we have seen it 100 times. But they are telling a good story, or at least they are starting it. And, I would give it a passing rating, which is what I'd do. This was another maintenance show," he said. [From 49:00 - 50:00]
