WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi is predicting big things for one member of The Bloodline in 2025.
2024 has seen a major shift in the ongoing Bloodline Saga. Beginning with the return of The Rock and his insertion into the Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes rivalry, The Final Boss looked to first take on Reigns before pivoting and doing everything in his power to stop Rhodes from finishing to story. Unfortunately for Rock and Reigns, Rhodes emerged victorious and has remained the Undisputed Champion ever since.
Setting the tone for things to come on the SmackDown after WrestleMania, Solo Sikoa made himself the new leader of the group and recruited Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu.
Although Sikoa has made it his mission to become the true Tribal Chief and top star on SmackDown, The Enforcer has yet to defeat Rhodes and win the Undisputed Championship despite numerous attempts. However, according to Rikishi, that could change in the next 12 months.
Speaking about Sikoa on his Off The Top podcast, the Hall of Famer predicted that the leader of The New Bloodline would win the top prize in 2025:
“I’ve got full confidence in Solo… He’s been out for a minute, perfecting the craft, waiting his turn, waiting for his opportunity. 2025, I see Solo Sikoa will become Undisputed WWE Champion.”
Will Rikishi Return To WWE?
As the Hall of Famer is the father of The Usos and Solo Sikoa, fans have frequently fantasy-booked a return of the former Intercontinental Champion to be a part of the ongoing discourse within the family. On a previous episode of his podcast, Rikishi teased a return as The Bloodline turmoil continues.
