WWE Hall of Famer believes the upcoming Bloodline Survivor Series WarGames match will be no lesser than a “WrestleMania vibe.”
With only a few hours to go, fans have now braced themselves to witness one of the biggest nights in The Bloodline’s history. Pairing alongside Roman Reigns’ OG Bloodline, CM Punk will be going against Solo Sikoa and his squad.
With his own three sons involved in the match, the father of Jey and Jimmy Uso, and Solo Sikoa, Rikishi, recently shared his mind on the upcoming five versus five bout. Speaking on his Off The Top podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer addressed the upcoming Survivor Series WarGames match, and compared its vibe with WrestleMania.
Absolutely, fantastic, all-around great match, a memory that we will never forget as fans. I feel these guys here are gonna raise the bar so heavy with this match here that it will be [impossible] to be able to top it. Who knows, this might be the last WarGames. It’s the first WarGames that the family member has gotten into, and you want to make it the best ever because this opportunity might not come back again. So hopefully these guys make sure, going into it, that everybody’s healthy, that they’re at full potential to be able to get out there and perform. That’s what you expect from Bloodline.
Every single person that’s there, even with CM Punk, Sami, I mean these guys are all great, great workers, and to be able to have family members go up against each other, you see exactly what they can bring to the table. So you got this WarGames. It’s gonna be a hell of a setting. So let’s hope that we see some things that’s never been done in the WarGames. I’m assuming there’s gonna be a lot of bloodshed that goes on in there, and may the best team win. It’s gonna be like a WrestleMania type of vibe, without a doubt. It’s gonna be off the charts.”

Rikishi Surprised At CM Punk’s Addition To The Bloodline WarGames Match At WWE Survivor Series
Appearing in one of the latest episodes of his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi addressed CM Punk’s addition to the Bloodline story. Despite heaping praises on the former champion’s talent and skills, the veteran expected to see Brock Lesnar get involved.
I don’t know. I mean, really? CM Punk? I didn’t see that coming a mile away, I really didn’t. I don’t know. With Paul being out and that phone call from Roman calling Paul, he didn’t pick up, I would have probably thought that it would have been somebody like Brock Lesnar. I don’t know. With CM Punk, he’s just such a big asset to the company as far as being able to help draw people to the arenas and the pay-per-view.
I just kind of seen CM Punk off by himself. I’m speaking as a promoter vibe. To put my best hitters out there to be able to sell this thing, and numbers, I’m a numbers guy. Then I’m just thinking, wow, it just fits, if in case, where was Paul at?
Then out comes Brock Lesnar. So this caught me off-guard with CM Punk. I don’t know.”
