Rikishi has given his thoughts on what happens next to The Bloodline following on from WrestleMania 40.
The recent Premium Live Event saw Roman Reigns’ lengthy championship reign come to an end as Cody Rhodes finished the story. With Rhodes set to defend the championship at Backlash, The Bloodline has already started to regroup as Tama Tonga made his WWE debut on the SmackDown after Mania and launched an attack on Jimmy Uso alongside Solo Sikoa. With Roman Reigns and The Rock both absent until further notice, Rikishi does not see it ending well when they both return.
Speaking about the future of the group on his Off The Top podcast, the Hall of Famer envisioned a split within the group that would lead to a civil war within the once united faction:
“I think The Bloodline’s gonna kinda take a backseat for a minute, recoup for a minute. We do have other players that are lined up to able to come through. But again, The Bloodline will always be there. It just has to be the right angle, the right storyline. Who knows? I’m gonna go out and just throw this out there. I kinda see a WarGames.
I kinda see somewhere down there The Rock turning on Roman Reigns. Rock becomes the heel, Roman comes back as a babyface. I kinda see The Bloodline family members spread up and take sides, and then I kind of see something huge as far as WarGames or some type of gimmick match, amongst each other.
They would probably want to build that up for the next WrestleMania. To have that type of match being put together, it’d be nice to see that happen in the west coast because a lot our Polynesian culture, the west coast is island. Nothing but island people that are out here. Samoan, Tongan, you name it, a bunch of Polynesians, Hawaiian. So to be able to come out here and showcase that match in front of our people would be great.”
Roman Reigns has since broken his silence on the loss.
