The legendary Samoan wrestler Rikishi is rumored to be getting himself involved in The Bloodline storyline. Being the father of The Usos and Solo Sikoa, Rikishi’s appearance would be much more appropriate for the family angle of the faction. At a time of great turmoil in The Bloodline, he answered the question of the possibility of him showing up on the show.
The Samoan Stinker said in an interview with WrestleBinge, “I would have to go silent on that one.” Thus, there is still ambiguity regarding his involvement, but hopes are still high for his surprise appearance during a massive segment or match of The Bloodline. While remaining silent for this question, he did state about Roman Reigns‘ responsibility for carrying the company on his back and hoped for him to get some rest from this tough job.
While the interview continued, Rikishi elaborated on his sons’ distinct personalities while feeling proud of all of them. The 57-year-old stated that Jimmy Uso is the most relaxed and calm person, while Jey is somewhat fierce and gets in anybody’s face. The most similar one is Solo Sikoa, who has always been a silent killer and portrays the same persona on-screen. He stated that he feels proud of all three and Reigns to be out there representing their family.
The Bloodline storyline seems to be coming to an end with Jey’s rumored match with Roman at SummerSlam. This storyline is supposed to be ended at the Biggest Party of the Summer, which will then clarify The Tribal Chief’s future without The Bloodline, with only The Enforcer and Paul Heyman by his side.

The Bloodline’s 40-minute segment outraged other stars at the backstage
The fallout episode of SmackDown after the incredible Money in the Bank event saw The Bloodline get a whopping 40 minutes of screen time. The Tribal Court segment kicked off the show and witnessed Jey Uso attack Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa in the main event. All of those grabbed a lot of attention online and heavily affected the viewership.
But as far as viewership and engagement are concerned, the show performed great but fell short of the roster’s expectations. The stars backstage showed disappointment at having less wrestling on the show. Even the fans enjoyed the drama but felt short of the wrestling that was expected more from the show.
The special episode of SmackDown aired live from Madison Square Garden and profited the company heavily. As the sold-out arena event made sure of being the highest-grossing WWE event at The Garden. While it also became the highest-grossing domestic SmackDown episode in the history of WWE.
