Rikishi on if he will return to WWE to help The Bloodline

WWE legend Rikishi was recently asked if he would ever consider returning to the promotion to help The Bloodline faction on SmackDown.

In real life, Rikishi is the father of The Usos and Solo Sikoa. Jey Uso was once a part of The Bloodline but exited the group after Jimmy Uso betrayed the former at Summerslam 2023 during the Tribal Combat match against Roman Reigns.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Bill Apter asked the legend if he would ever return to the company to help the heel faction on the blue brand. The veteran did not answer the question but did whisper to Apter that he could not say anything "until the time is right.''

"Well, I'd have to go [presses finger to lips]," he said. "I'd have to go silent on that." [2:44 – 2:52]

The Bloodline was once thought of as the most powerful faction in WWE but that may no longer be the case. It will be fascinating to see if Roman Reigns can overcome the odds in the Fatal Four-Way match tomorrow night and retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Title.
