Rikishi has voiced his wish to see a real-life Bloodline member honored with induction into the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame. The individual in question is the late great Umaga, revered as one of the most formidable performers in wrestling history.
Umaga had two runs with WWE: the first spanning from 2001 to 2003, and the more notable second stint from 2006 to 2009. During his tenure, he held the Intercontinental Championship and engaged in memorable rivalries with the likes of Bobby Lashley and John Cena, leaving an incredible mark on fans’ memories. Tragically, a few months after departing WWE in June 2009, Umaga passed away from a heart attack.
Rikishi recently took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the launch of a new line of Umaga’s Funko Pop action figures. At 58 years old, he advocated for Umaga’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame during its 2025 ceremony.
”🩸☝🏾 #WweHOF2025 ???”
Given Umaga’s enduring popularity and the profound respect he garners from the wrestling world, it’s only a matter of time before he rightfully claims his place in the WWE Hall of Fame.
