Is WWE's favoritism towards Bloodline wrestlers killing the chances for new talent to shine?

Despite leaving wrestling behind, Rikishi is still interested in giving his opinion about the wrestling world and how the industry is shaping to be. As an enthusiast of the sport, the legend often finds himself talking about the hottest storylines in WWE. Recently, he talked about The Bloodline during an episode on his podcast “Off The Top”.

The former wrestler gave his opinions about all that is going on in the leading wrestling promotion in terms of The Bloodline’s storyline and also suggested WWE jump on the opportunity as a new Samoan wrestler may be ready to be introduced to the fanbase.

Although the Anoa’i family stable already seems to be running at full capacity with the faction, consisting of four members as of now, including one who doesn’t wrestle in the ring. Now, Rikishi suggests that WWE should hire one more talent for the story, and that is Lance Anoa’i who has worked with the Stamford-based company first in 2014, and then in 2019.

Lance is chiseled down now. I’ve seen him at Thanksgiving there in Atlanta, in my son’s place. He looks good. He looks like he’s dedicated like he’s got his mind focused now because he sees the picture,says the Anoa’i family elder. “There could be an opportunity for these guys to jump right on, into the storyline.

He wants WWE to pull the full procedure on him and test whether he will actually be good in the ring and not a liability. But Rikishi does seem to believe that it is a good opportunity to get this storyline further over among fans.

If not Lance, then we seem to be having another wrestler’s debut for the same storyline anytime now.

What’s your perspective on:

Is WWE's favoritism towards Bloodline wrestlers killing the chances for new talent to shine?

Have an interesting take?

Who else will join The Bloodline now?

As mentioned above, the Anoa’i family stable seems to be full as of now. However, the promotion could go up and beyond to include more members in the storyline. If not the rogue Bloodline, then Roman Reigns could also reassemble any wrestlers that he finds worthy of his trust and include him in his own team to take back the throne that was rightfully assigned to him as the chief of the tribe. For now, all eyes are on the third Tongan brother who may become the latest member of the storyline.

Several weeks ago, there had been rumors that Hikuleo could sign with WWE to take over The Bloodline alongside the rest of the rogues. Now, the fantasy booking by fans seems to be coming true because there have been reports of his signing with the leading wrestling promotion. Although the details don’t reveal his debut date and location, it could be either at SummerSlam or a few weeks after that depending on how long WWE wants its fans to wait. So, even if we won’t be getting Lance Anoa’i anytime soon, there is still a new talent to look up to.

What are your thoughts on Rikishi’s suggestions? Should WWE make the call?
