Among the current storylines in WWE, one of the most captivating is the Bloodline angle featuring Roman Reigns and his faction. After dominating the WWE roster for nearly two years, cracks began to show, and now, the Usos’ own father, Rikishi, has offered his assistance. During a recent episode of the Road Trip After Hours podcast, Rikishi expressed his desire to “straighten” things out for the family.
“I think they need to add Rikishi to that mix. Rikishi is the real father. They ain’t gotta make up nothing. This is a shoot. Anybody that can straighten up their kid would be their dad. So right now their kids are in turmoil, they just don’t know what they want to do. It’s a crisis out there. So right now, for Rikishi to step in with some law and order, I think that would be really good.”
According to Rikishi, adding him to the mix would be a logical step, given that he is the real father of the Usos. Rikishi has a long history in WWE, having made his debut in 1992 under the name The Sultan. He gained notoriety in 2000 for a storyline in which he ran over Stone Cold Steve Austin with a car. After retiring from in-ring competition in 2007, Rikishi was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015.
As the Bloodline storyline continues to unfold, it remains to be seen what role Rikishi might play in helping to restore order. The faction is facing challenges from Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn, and tensions are rising between Roman Reigns and his cousins, the Usos. WWE fans will have to stay tuned to see what happens next and whether Rikishi will make an appearance to aid his family.
