WWE Hall of Famer addresses son’s wrestling future.
The Bloodline is arguably one of the most popular factions in the promotion right now. With Roman Reigns leading one branch of it, the other branch is being led by Solo Sikoa. The two stalwarts are now scheduled to face each other on January 6th during Raw’s Netflix premiere.
While Solo Sikoa, son of the Hall of Famer Rikishi, currently hails himself as the Tribal Chief, his other two sons, Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso, are often regarded as two greats of modern-day tag-team wrestling. Father to eight kids, Rikishi has now addressed the wrestling prospect of his youngest son, Samson Fatu.
Recently, Jimmy Uso was spotted posing with his younger brother Samson Fatu during a WWE event. Speaking on his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi claimed that he has asked his 16-year-old son to focus on studies and football currently. The Hall of Famer believes wrestling will always exist as an option for him.
He’s just doing the work. Samson wants to pave his own way. That photo that you’re talking about, we’re actually in a suite, and he’s looking into the ring. He got a chance to look at the crowd reaction. I was telling him, ‘Look at the crowd reaction. You see your brothers come out, looking how the crowd reacts towards them.’ I was kind of just teaching him what I’ve taught all the students at KnokX Pro, the emotions, the timing of certain things, you see the longevity of inside the ring, of taking bumps when needing to take a bump, when not to take a bump, to be able to engage with fans.
He always knew that here, but being live, watching it live, he had a lot more questions, I’ll tell you that. I said, ‘Listen, this will always be here. Let’s focus on your football, your college, and moving forward on your education number one.’ For all of us, be it football or wrestling, there is life after athletics, after your sports.
I want, and I know he does, he wants to become a millionaire before moving into NFL, and with the opportunities that are out there with NIL and stuff for college kids, I said, dude, this is an opportunity given to you. So he sounds like he has a little bit of interest, and if in case the day comes, I’m gonna have no worries because he’s been around this business since he was five. Be it wrestling or be it sports, he’s gonna go far in life.”
