The Bloodline has become unstoppable as of late. The faction has undergone major changes, such as the addition of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. Speaking of the stable, Rikishi, who is a real-life member of The Bloodline, expressed his views over what is currently happening in the faction. Moreover, the Hall of Famer went on to hint at replacing Paul Heyman in the group.

During a conversation on his Rikishi Fatu off the Top podcast, the former champion was asked if he would like to join the Bloodline in the future to replace Heyman. To which he replied, saying that he doesn’t rule out the possibility. However, it is only possible when the right time comes.

Damn it, every time I keep trying to leave [myself] out, you guys keep trying to pull me back in. And of course, I'm not saying 'No, I won't.' What I'm saying is, hey, I'll see it coming a mile away and I'll know when it's time for me to throw my name in the hat. Rikishi

The 58-year-old has predicted that the faction is about to explode into two different parts. Therefore, he would like to have even odds on the playing field. Needless to say, Solo Sikoa is the manipulative leader of The Bloodline right now. He has taken the charge ever since Roman Reigns lost at WrestleMania XL.

Recently, Jey Uso explained the reason behind the absence of Rikishi from his match against Jimmy Uso at WrestleMania XL. The former Tag Team Champion claimed that his father’s health issues prevented him from taking part in the bout. Having said that, it will be interesting to see if the real-life Bloodline member decides to come back to the ring once again or not.

Rikishi requested fans to pray for Jimmy Uso

Jimmy Uso has been on a rough path. He suffered a major loss at WrestleMania XL against Jey Uso. Later on, he was brutally decimated by Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga on SmackDown, eventually kicking him out of the Bloodline. Amid these tough times, Rikishi asked the WWE Universe to pray for his son.

The WWE Hall of Famer posted a picture of the father-son duo. He wrote that his son was born to be the king. However, as of late, he has not been doing well. Therefore, the fans should keep him in their prayers for his speedy recovery. The former Bloodline member has been reportedly written out of television due to an undisclosed injury.

It has been rumored that when Jimmy returns, he is going to join forces with Roman Reigns to form the original Bloodline. However, his return date is still up in the air. Uso was doing an incredible job as a heel on SmackDown, and this unfortunate injury has certainly halted his plans for the future.
