The Bloodline since its beginning in 2021, has been one of the strongest heel factions the WWE ever produced. With Roman Reigns at the Head of The Table, the group has showcased its ruthlessness and dominance. However, over time, cracks have spilled into what fans call a civil war. With Jey being the first to leave and now the entrance of Tama Tonga to the group, things have changed in the past three years. Spicing things up, Reigns’ cousin took to social media to drop an interesting post.
Wrestling fans thought they could take a breath after a scintillating WrestleMania. However, that was not the case as The Bloodline tossed Jimmy Uso out on SmackDown. With The Tribal Chief absent from the action, fans eagerly anticipate the next development in this saga. And a WWE Hall of Famer sent out an ominous warning for all.

Rikishi, cousin to Reigns, is also the father to the Uso brothers. While not personally involved with the works of The Bloodline, the Hall of Famer has occasionally talked about its developments. Be it on his podcast or social media, Rikishi has always sided with his sons and their actions in and outside The Bloodline. However, after the events of SmackDown, the WWE legend made an uncharacteristic post on social media. The first came after the show where he commented on WWE’s video of Jimmy being beaten down by Tonga. He said, “BELIEVE THAT 🩸☝🏾.” However, the second post regarding the events of SmackDown turned out to be yet another shocker. Rikishi said, “Stay in your lane..🩸☝🏾.”
Stay in your lane..
🩸☝🏾

Fans were up in arms after the first post was made, and this sent them into overdrive. They could not believe that Jimmy’s father would side with the man and group that brutalized him in the ring.

Taking to social media, fans flooded the comment section with questions ranging from what kind of father was he, to how could he condone his firstborn to this. It was clear after the segment that Jimmy, like his brother Jey Uso, was no longer part of The Bloodline.

This made fans realize why Jey left the Bloodline. Maybe we could see The Usos reunite by finding common ground.

Many pointed out that maybe Solo Sikoa was his favorite son. This is why he sided with The Bloodline.
I guess his favorite son is Solo 😭 https://t.co/qZOd8YnESR

This was a heel turn no one saw coming as Rikishi was never actively involved in The Bloodline, especially with such shocking comments.
