Wrestling legend Rikishi is keeping fans on their toes with his latest comments about possibly stepping into the WWE spotlight again. As the father of Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Solo Sikoa, Rikishi has been a focal point of speculation, with fans clamoring for his involvement in WWE’s Bloodline storyline.
While the Hall of Famer hasn’t officially returned to WWE, he’s been vocal about the storyline’s twists and turns on his podcast, Off The Top. During a live edition of the show, Rikishi was asked if he could step into the role of “Wiseman” for the OG Bloodline—a potential counter to Paul Heyman’s influence on Roman Reigns.
“[Laughs] Would you guys please stop trying to drag me in there?” Rikishi said, dodging the question with a smile. “I’m having fun shooting the podcast, I’m having fun living the second part of life, to be able to be home and train at Knox Pro, train the new students of the game. But in this game, you never say never.”
Rikishi also revealed that fan demand for his return is relentless: “Every time I go to all the signings, that’s the first thing the fans always ask me. ‘When are you gonna come back? We want you to come back.’ I’m just like, man, I don’t know. I guess I hear it enough, we’ll see.”
The idea of Rikishi re-entering the Bloodline saga has the WWE Universe buzzing. Could we see the iconic Samoan star walk down the ramp to mediate—or escalate—the family feud that’s tearing the Bloodline apart?
