Rikishi weighs in on the state of the Bloodline.
Since Roman Reigns aligned with Paul Heyman in the summer of 2020, the Bloodline has dominated WWE. Reigns held the WWE Universal Championship, and then the WWE Championship for nearly four years as he brought in his family members Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Solo Sikoa to form The Bloodline.
Though Reigns has been off television since losing the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania XL, the Bloodline has continued with Sikoa running things and bringing in Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, & Jacob Fatu.
"When it comes to The Bloodline man, this is what gets me going. The Bloodline, when people talk about The Bloodline, ‘Oh, we tired of the Bloodline.’ You can be tired all you want for a few years, but we’ve been going through this shit for 75-plus years. You don’t think we tired? But we the type of people, we tired, but we keep coming back. We keep finding solutions, not excuses, solutions, and the solutions need to be the best you can be in that squared circle. Otherwise, if we not over in the squared circle, move us out. If you can put asses in seats, if you can knock those merchandise sales out, if you can bring up WWE’s revenue, TKO’s revenue, if the Bloodline is not that anymore, I get it. Go ahead and just knock it then. But you cannot knock the Bloodline that’s been holding professional wrestling, that’s WWE, on their backs for the last four, five, six years now. Shit, they still holding it without the main guy there. Who’s the main guy? Roman motherfucking Reigns. Come on, y’all can write that. Write that shit. Because when he does come back, oh, you better have enough armored trucks to fill up that bank account for WWE, TKO, because this man here is just gonna sell out everywhere. Everywhere and anywhere throughout the world that WWE books him to. That’s not to mention the Usos when they come back. That’s not to mention maybe another Bloodline member possibly maybe able to drive up in a black Lincoln. I’ll leave it at that," said Rikishi on his Off The Top podcast.
It is unknown when Reigns will return to WWE TV.
