Rikishi extends words of respect for Sika

WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi was one of the Samoan wrestlers who laid the foundation of one of the world’s most dominant pro wrestling families.

The father of Solo Sikoa and The Usos added a post on Instagram to pay his respects to Sika.

“#AnoaiStrong 🙏🏾 rest easy uncle Seek (RipSika) We here Chief Ifopo Jahrus Anoa’i," he wrote.

Roman Reigns hasn’t returned to WWE since his loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. While fans have been eagerly waiting for his return, the passing of his father has made the WWE Universe's demand louder. Moreover, fans can be heard chanting “We want Roman” during shows as well.

Recently, Solo Sikoa announced himself as the new Head of the Table of The Bloodline. Moreover, he also attacked Paul Heyman after he refused to acknowledge Sikoa as the new Tribal Chief.

It would be interesting to see if these changes prompt Roman Reigns to return and reclaim his spot.
