WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi has shared his thoughts on the recent addition to The Bloodline by Solo Sikoa. Following WWE WrestleMania 40, Solo Sikoa took charge of The Bloodline and brutally attacked Jimmy Uso, throwing him out of the faction. Sikoa also added new members to the faction, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
Rikishi, the father of Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso, has shared his thoughts on adding Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa to The Bloodline. Speaking on the “Rikishi Off The Top” podcast, he stated, “Those two kids, Tama and his brother, Tonga Loa, they’re [related] to the family, as far as with Uncle Haku and so forth. These kids, I couldn’t wait for them to come to WWE. They’ve done so much out there, the hard work and building their brand out there in New Japan, that it was awesome to see them finally come home. The Bloodline, the WWE is home.”
He continued, “To be able to see them come and not just go right into an angle, they’re only put there for the simple fact that they belong there. Nothing else, nothing more. You got Roman that’s out the picture now, Jimmy’s out the picture now. Now here comes Solo and his crew, what they like to call The Bloodline 2.0, the brothers, Tama and Tonga Loa, they’re doing a great job. They both look great, they look fresh. So nice to see fresh faces out of there, being involved in The Bloodline, and family at that.”
A few weeks ago, Sikoa informed Paul Heyman that Roman Reigns had left him in charge of The Bloodline. Sikoa stated that Heyman would be following his orders for the time being.
Rikishi’s message to WWE’s Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa amid The Bloodline’s latest additions
Solo Sikoa, the new Tribal Chief of The Bloodline at WWE Backlash, had a backstage confrontation with Jey Uso. The latter left the faction last summer during his feud with Roman Reigns, and is currently at odds with Solo Sikoa. However, Rikishi has sent a message to both stars. A few days ago, Rikishi took to Instagram, sharing a photo of Solo Sikoa and Jey Uso, wanting his sons to bring them closer.
With Solo Sikoa as the current Tribal Chief of The Bloodline, it seems unlikely that Sikoa and Jey Uso will be looking to patch things up.
