The Bloodline must face two legendary WWE names, says Rikishi, for a major reason
The Bloodline has dominated a majority of the storylines on WWE SmackDown since its existence. Recently, Rikishi stated that the group, regardless of the members, should face Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio for a major reason.
The Bloodline's new incarnation has spent most of its time on Friday Night SmackDown feuding with Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, and Cody Rhodes. The villainous faction has scored a few wins and made their presence felt in the Stamford-based promotion.
Speaking on Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, the veteran said the new group or even the forthcoming members should experience a feud or match with Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio, as they're two of the very best in the company, and the new stars can learn a lot from "the OGs."
"Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio are some of the OGs that always pop up in my mind when it comes to working with my boys because there's so much they can take away and learn from that," Rikishi said. (From 17:46 to 18:08)

The Bloodline will go up against its former members at WWE Crown Jewel
Earlier this year, The Bloodline's landscape changed at WrestleMania XL when Roman Reigns lost his title to Cody Rhodes. This led to Solo Sikoa taking over the group's leadership and making significant changes.
Later, a new version was created with Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu following Solo Sikoa's orders. However, Reigns returned to WWE and vowed to take the villainous faction out.
Last month, Roman Reigns teamed up with Cody Rhodes and defeated Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa in a tag team match at WWE Bad Blood. Unfortunately, The Bloodline saga is far from over as Jimmy and Jey Uso returned to deal with Sikoa's group.
The Usos will team up and join forces with The Original Tribal Chief to take on Solo Sikoa's Bloodline in Saudi Arabia. It'll be interesting to see which faction leaves the event with a win.
