Rikishi, much like many members of his Samoan family, has a natural flair for comedy. He is renowned for entertaining fans with his humor. Famous for his antics during his WWE career, he now continues to bring laughter to his audience through his podcast. The 59-year-old recently talked about making an NSFW entrance to the ring alongside female rappers, which fans found wildly amusing.
Speaking on his Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, the Hall of Famer said that if he were to wrestle on a big show, he would like to be accompanied by Nicki Minaj and Cardi B during his entrance. Rikishi said that all of them would be wearing a thong and was considering throwing Lizzo into the mix, too. Furthermore, he joked that he wouldn’t be seen making his entrance alongside two dudes.
This remark by the Hall of Famer came shortly after his son, Jey Uso‘s, entrance on the debut episode of Raw on Netflix. The 10x Tag Team Champion made his way to the ring, walking through the crowd with Travis Scott by his side. Furthermore, the American rapper was even seen smoking a blunt during this entrance.
Shake what your mama gave ya. We’d all be in a thong. Every single [one] of us, we’d all be in a thong. I might have to throw Lizzo in there. How cool would that be?

Rikishi also does a lot to entertain himself and those around him, including playing pranks. The former Intercontinental Champion played a prank on Kurt Angle, where he was supposed to hit him with a Stinkface during their match. The 59-year-old delivered the grossest Stinkface ever and found it absolutely hilarious.
Rikishi believes that WWE and its superstars will continue to work with huge brands in the future
Ever since Endeavor bought WWE and merged into TKO Group Holdings, the promotion has seen a lot of integrated sponsorships into its programming. Fans got to see a massive Prime logo plastered onto the middle of the ring during PLEs. Furthermore, the new Raw setting features plenty of logos throughout the ring mat. These include Netflix, Riyadh Season, Snickers, and Real American Beer, thanks to WWE’s multi-year with Hulk Hogan.
During the same podcast episode, Rikishi said that all of them were sports entertainers. However, these new partnerships opened the doors to deals with Nike or Adidas. He mentioned how his family member, Roman Reigns, already comes out dressed in Nike boxers and shoes.
The business, I feel, is going to skyrocket a lot because you got two big companies now, collab together, I think it’s probably going to open up other doors for wrestlers.

WWE has always partnered up with various brands and companies for sponsorship deals, especially for its major shows like WrestleMania. However, some have argued that this has crossed a limit in recent times. There is product placement during matches and continuous advertisement of 2K Sports on their programming, in addition to the ring logos that are constantly featured on their flagship weekly show.
