Rikishi teases major WWE reunion following SmackDown
WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi has shared a social media update, teasing a major reunion following the most recent edition of Friday Night SmackDown. The veteran's son, Jimmy Uso, made a highly anticipated return to television at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event to help Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes beat Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.
Uso kicked off the latest edition of the blue brand's show. He was joined by Roman Reigns, who refused to reunite with Jey Uso. Jimmy then lost to Solo Sikoa in the main event and the rest of the members of The Bloodline attacked him and The OTC after the match. The former Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion reminded Reigns that they needed help, teasing a potential reunion of the original Bloodline.
Real-life Bloodline member Rikishi took to his Instagram story after the latest edition of SmackDown to further tease the reunion of his sons.

Rikishi reveals why he asked WWE fans to pray for Jimmy Uso
Amid Jimmy Uso's absence from WWE television, Rikishi took to social media last month to ask the fans to keep his son in their prayers. It resulted in many fans being concerned about Uso's health. However, it was later revealed that he was alright.
On a recent edition of his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi pointed out that people misunderstood his message, and he never mentioned that Jimmy had any health issues. The former WWE Intercontinental Champion added he was only asking the fans to send prayers and good wishes for his son.
"God forbid I even say anything on social media. You know, everybody thought that Jimmy was in the hospital, he was... All I said was just send a prayer to my son. That's it as any father would give any son. You know, just pray for my son that's it. I didn't say nothing he was in the hospital, I didn't say... I just pray for his health. That's what I was saying. Oh, hell! I got so much slack for just a father trying to send some prayers for his boy," he said. [7:35 - 8:02]
