Rikishi to make WWE return and introduce a new Bloodline member ahead of Survivor Series? Analyzing the chances
WWE legend Rikishi, father of The Usos and Solo, might soon get involved in the Bloodline storyline. The Hall of Famer might show up surprisingly before Survivor Series, and introduce another real-life Bloodline member. Since the battle of the real claim to the throne of Tribal Chief has gotten murkier between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, there could be another debut in The Bloodline, creating a twist in the ongoing Bloodline saga.
The star in question is none other than Zilla Fatu, son of late WWE legend, Edi Fatu, aka Umaga. Fatu is currently a Reality of Wrestling (ROW) Champion, and he is reportedly a great talent inside the ring.
After the last episode of Friday Night SmackDown, the WWE legend made an Instagram post, along with Zilla Fatu and other WWE legends like Mick Foley, Booker T, Mandy Rose, and Sharmell. This hinted that Rikishi might be up to some shenanigans regarding Zilla Fatu's WWE possible debut.
The Samoan legend posted the picture from the New York Comic-Con with Booker T's catchphrase.
"Can you dig this..." he said.
Rikishi makes cryptic post after Bloodline saga continued on RAW
After his son Jey Uso was assaulted by Bloodline member Jacob Fatu on RAW in the last episode, losing his Intercontinental Championship in the process, the WWE legend took to Instagram to make a statement.
His post read, "They not the ones." His post could mean that Rikishi didn't like that Solo, Jacob Fatu, and the Tongans interrupted his son's match against Breakker and cost him the title.
At present, Jey Uso hasn't aligned himself with Reigns and on the latest episode of SmackDown, he confronted Solo Sikoa and his men but didn't re-join with his cousin Roman Reigns. Backstage, Jimmy Uso tried to convince Reigns' to let them take help from Jey, but The Original Tribal Chief replied with a "No Yeet." Since Jey Uso and Reigns have a bitter past, it will indeed take some time for The Yeet Master to join forces with his brother.
Apart from Zilla Fatu, there's another real-life Anoa'i wrestler, Hikuleo, who is also expected to arrive soon. There have been reports that he has signed a deal with WWE already, and the company has also trademarked the name, 'Talla Tonga.' He might join Sikoa's side, as he is the half-brother of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
As for Zilla Fatu, WWE legend Booker T has said that he was looking to get Zilla Fatu to WWE. While speaking on the recent edition of his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T said that Fatu was an exceptional in-ring talent. Rikishi might be the one who ultimately gets Zilla Fatu to join Roman Reigns' side. The WWE Universe has to wait to see how the Bloodline storyline goes from here.
