Every fifteen years, WWE offers a Civil War that gets presented at WrestleMania. This year, The Usos will battle at The Grandest Stage of Them All for the first time in their career.

Thus, the rumors about their father, Rikishi‘s inclusion, have spread and suggested his contribution to the match. On the other side, a bubble burst for those rumors has seen Rikishi nearly confirm his presence at WrestleMania 40 too.

While speaking on his Off the Top podcast, Rikishi stated that he is not too far from WrestleCon. His co-host Joey also noted the fact that the Samoan legend cannot be satisfied to watch this match at his home. He assured his presence in Philadelphia around the Mania weekend but did not offer any commitments. Rikishi made it quite clear by saying that he would not be far from the WrestleMania 40 stadium either.

The Samoan Stinker later played along with mentions of Ubers and limousines that would make his travel easier. He continued by addressing the news, which stated the battle between Yeet and No Yeet. However, he went along with the rhythm and questioned his presence by asking about the man who eats.

I’m gonna be in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I’m not too far, that’s all I can say. I’m not too far from the stadium. I’m not too far from the stadium where WrestleMania will be.

Rikishi has also picked sides in The Usos’ battle by being on the safer side in the WWE Universe’s favor. It is most likely that the 58-year-old prefers the Yeet side of the Usos and supports the idea of Jey Uso‘s win. 

The twins, Jey as the babyface and Jimmy Uso as the heel, will bring their rivalry to the City of Brotherly Love. It will be exciting to see whether Rikishi gets involved in the Civil War or not.

Rikishi claims he was the last person to know about The Usos’ clash at WrestleMania 40

While speaking on his Off the Top podcast, Rikishi spoke about his twin sons’ clash at WrestleMania 40. After the match was made official on SmackDown, the Samoan Stinker showed his excitement for the Usos’ battle. 

His focus was on the history-making part of The Bloodline that goes through Usos’ match.

Rikishi claimed that his sons going out there at WrestleMania and making the dream match happen is a big deal for him and the fans. He later hyped the match multiple times by stating Yeet vs. No Yeet and Uso vs. Uso. The Samoan legend concluded by saying that he was the last person to know about it.

You’re finally gonna see the dream match, Uso vs. Uso, Yeet vs. No Yeet. It’s gonna be exciting. I’m very happy to be the last to know about it.
