Rikishi has been an active participant in the Bloodline tale from outside the promotion. He is well-known for providing clues and indications about what may happen in the faction. It appears that the WWE legend is already well-versed in what is going on in that faction, thanks to his position in the Anoi family and his sons being involved.

At the moment, it appears that Rikishi has once again provided a major spoiler regarding what may happen with the Bloodline. The former WWE star appeared on his YouTube channel, Rikishi Fatu Off The Rope, talking about Jacob Fatu’s younger brother Journey Fatu, who may join WWE in the future because he is also a professional wrestler with a strong passion for the business.

Rikishi even remarked that the pro wrestler has some impeccable in-ring psychology and the ability to tell a captivating story. Not only that, but Rikishi noted that while he may be an ideal member of the faction, he is unlike any other member of the Bloodline since he is hefty and has a structure similar to Yokuzuna.

Rikishi stated in his video, “So I would think if they do decide to pick up Journey Fatu, which is Jacob’s brother, his younger brother… Journey’s psychology is to the roof. So A on that, Journey is not a liability, A on that. He’s a hard worker, A on that. He has passion about the business, A on that. He’s a safe worker, A plus on that. And he gets it psychology-wise, A plus plus on that. And so it’s only now, is the way he looks, he’s different. He’s a little bit heavier than most of the bloodlines that are there now… He is kinda like me and Yokozuna from back in the day.”

Nevertheless, the father of Jimmy and Jey Uso might not be limited to giving his insight from the outside. He could step up to the plate for The Bloodline 2.0 if they wish to bring him into the fold as a mouthpiece.

Rikishi could become a part of The Bloodline storyline

Although the WWE legend typically offers his insights on the plot from the outside, a real possibility exists that he could enter the fold in an official capacity. The reason for this is that the current Bloodline under Solo Sikoa lacks a Wise Man, hence there is no one experienced in the faction to advise them on what to do.

Not only that, but fans have hypothesized that if a manager is assigned to the side, Rikishi would be an ideal candidate. The reason for this is rather simple: he has been part of the plot and may bring new things to the group, making feuds much more appealing. Moreover, recruiting an external candidate may not prove to be the wisest strategy as differences of opinion could ensue. And no one wants a repeat of the Paul Heyman fiasco. The rest of The Bloodline members would also automatically give respect to a close family member which would also add a layer in terms of storytelling possibilities.

Nevertheless, Rikishi may not be the most probable candidate if his words are anything to go by. What are your opinions about Journey Fatu? Do you believe Rikishi should return to WWE? Let us know in the comments section below.
