Rikishi reacts to The Bloodline destroying Roman Reigns on WWE SmackDown

WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi recently shared his reaction to Roman Reigns being attacked by The Bloodline on the latest episode of SmackDown. The Original Tribal Chief was attacked by Solo Sikoa and his stablemates during the final moments of the show.

Solo Sikoa called out Roman Reigns during the final segment of the show. Reigns came out and kicked off a brawl with Sikoa. After putting The Bloodline down, Roman was unexpectedly attacked by none other than Jacob Fatu. Mere seconds later, Solo, Tama Tonga, and Jacob hit a Triple Powerbomb on The Original Tribal Chief as the show came to a close.

Shortly after, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi reacted to the segment by posting a story on his official Instagram handle as can be seen below:

Rikishi has been keeping a close eye on The Bloodline for quite some time now. He recently expressed his disappointment over WWE hinting at an on-screen romantic angle between his son, Jey Uso, and Rhea Ripley. The Samoan Stinker felt that the angle could destroy Jey's real-life marriage.

Rikishi must be elated over the push that Solo has been receiving on SmackDown lately. Sikoa is bound to take on Roman Reigns in a big singles match somewhere down the line.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
