#4 Rikishi

Perhaps the mystery storyline involving Kurt Angle will be used as an excuse to bring somebody back from the past. One option on people’s minds is that a brand new personality could even make their debut in WWE, somebody like Dixie Carter, for example. Another option would be to bring back the father of Jimmy and Jay Uso, the legendary Rikishi.
The main reasoning behind Rikishi being a possible love interest of Angle’s is that back in 2000, the Samoan interfered in a match between Kurt and The Rock, accidentally kicking Rocky in the face and allowing Angle to bodyslam his opponent, thus winning the match. This was part of a wider angle that involved Rikishi being the perpetrator of Stone Cold’s attack at Survivor Series of that year.
The isolated incident, in that was a pretty wide ranging angle that incorporated several superstars, didn’t make a lot of sense, until it was revealed that Rikishi wasn’t working alone, but under the instructions of Triple H.
However, almost 17 years later, all this could come out as a sign of Rikishi’s love for Angle. the storyline clearly involves something from Kurt’s past, and 2000 was the year most people think of as his heydey. It’s quite likely this whole affair links back to these days, and perhaps this is the way the story is going to go.
