Rikishi Introduces the Latest Member of The Bloodline Who Is Currently Following in the Footsteps of Dwayne Johnson and Roman Reigns

The legendary Anoa’i family has seen many of their members grace the squared circle and become professional wrestlers. Each of them has taken different paths, but their roads have led them to the pro wrestling industry at some point. But do you remember the starting point of two of the most successful talents from their clan, The Rock and Roman Reigns? If not, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi could certainly remind you of the same. How would he do that? Through his latest congratulatory message for his youngest son on social media.

Rikishi congratulates his son for receiving his first major opportunity in sports

Rikishi was one of the standout performers during WWE’s Attitude Era. His impressive dance skills, athleticism, and famous signature move made him a popular figure during the Attitude Era. Rikishi’s legacy was carried forward in WWE by his twin sons, Jimmy and Jey Uso who were later joined by his other son, Solo Sikoa.

The brothers are currently members of The Bloodline faction, led by their cousin Roman Reigns and his Wiseman, Paul Heyman.

Moreover, Rikishi’s fourth son, Jeremiah Fatu started out as a wrestler back in April 2023. So it seemed logical that all of his boys would be going down the same road to enrich his legacy further.

But his youngest son, Samson has chosen a different yet familiar path to make it in the world of sports. He announced the news of receiving his first offer to play Division 1 Football Offer from Portland State University.

Rikishi decided to endorse his youngest child on his achievement, sending out a message for him on Twitter.

While Rikish’s other sons chose to follow their father and break directly into wrestling, Samson Fatu chose a territory familiar to his legendary cousins, Roman Reigns and The Rock.

The two biggest WWE stars of all time began their journey in the world of sports by playing professional football, before stepping into the wrestling world.

The Rock played for Miami during his freshman year. He later joined the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League before making it into the world of pro wrestling.

On the other hand,  Reigns played for the Canadian League as well after his successful stint at Georgia Tech. However, both stars had their football dreams cut short due to different reasons and went on to become two of the biggest WWE superstars in history.

With Samson’s choosing that similar path, is he destined to attain the same success as The Tribal Chief and The Great One in the future? Let us know in the comments.
