Rikishi sent words of caution to one member of The Bloodline ahead of WWE Survivor Series: WarGames.
The Bloodline has gone through plenty of twists and turns over the past year, and these days, Solo Sikoa has declared himself the leader of the group containing Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa.
Meanwhile, the original Bloodline has slowly but surely been re-forming, with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso re-aligning at Bad Blood. On the October 25th episode of SmackDown, Jey Uso hugged Jimmy after helping his brother get revenge on Sikoa’s Bloodline, and on November 8th, Sami Zayn reunited with the group as they all raised their fingers in solidarity.
Despite this reunion, however, tensions still exist between Zayn and Reigns, particularly after Zayn accidentally hit Reigns with a Helluva Kick at Crown Jewel.
“Tread Lightly” – Rikishi
WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi has been very vocal bout The Bloodline’s story in WWE, and speaking on his Off the Top podcast, he addressed the upcoming WarGames match that will see Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Sami Zayn, and another man face off against Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Jacob Fatu, and Bronson Reed. According to the Hall of Famer, Zayn might not be fully accepted by the original Tribal Chief.
“Did Roman accept [Zayn]? We all know the type of dude that Roman is. He doesn’t forget anything. Rest assured, that kick — that’s still in the back of Roman’s head, I feel.”
Prior to Crown Jewel, Rikishi indicated that he wanted Zayn to reunite with The Bloodline, but now he sent words of warning to the star in light of recent events:
“I’m gonna say this to Sami Zayn: tread lightly.”
The women’s WarGames match for Survivor Series has also been confirmed. Survivor Series is set to emanate from the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC on November 30th.
In a further update, Rikishi may have hinted at a WWE return.
