Rikishi shares heartbreaking post about "fake family" before WWE SmackDown

WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi shared a bold comment ahead of SmackDown tonight. The real-life Bloodline member mentioned the term "fake family" in his message.

The Bloodline is hands down the most dominant group of superstars in all of WWE today. The faction has been running roughshod over the company's biggest babyfaces for a while now.

Rikishi, a real-life Bloodline member, has nothing but respect and admiration for the Anoaʻi family of Samoan wrestlers. He recently put up a message on his Instagram page that left many fans confused.

"A FAKE family and friend is worst then (sic) an enemy."

Check it out below:

Was the WWE legend taking a shot at the Anoaʻi family? A few fans in the comments of his post wondered what was going on with him. So far, the veteran hasn't made another comment clarifying his post.

As for The Bloodline, the faction is currently wreaking havoc on the main roster. Solo Sikoa has become unstoppable in Roman Reigns' absence and is now leading the most dominant group in the company. Paul Heyman seemed scared of Solo's actions and called Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa "bloodthirsty, sadistic thugs." Fans are eagerly awaiting the return of The Tribal Chief, which could possibly kick off a civil war.

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.
