Rikishi Weighs In On Sami Zayn’s Role In WWE Bloodline Story

WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi has weighed in on Sami Zayn’s role in the ongoing Bloodline storyline.

This past week’s WWE Raw saw Sami Zayn once again become wrapped up in the ongoing Bloodline family drama, first having a face-off with Jimmy Uso and later being shown having a parking lot conversation with the Tribal Chief Solo Sikoa.

Sikoa would further tease that Zayn could align with his new Bloodline on social media afterwards, however, Rikishi believes Zayn’s place is instead alongside Reigns and The Usos.

Speaking on his Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, the Hall of Famer said:

“I think Sami Zayn fits exactly into the Bloodline. You can never replace the originals. So if we go back a few years or so, we talk about the original Bloodline. So there’s that one piece that’s missing now.

“Now they got Jey, and there’s just one piece that’s missing. So if you replace it with somebody else, I don’t feel it’s complete. Because you can’t replace an original faction. I don’t feel that you could get the best out of it.

“The fans want to see Sami there. That’s what I’m feeling. That’s what I’m hearing, just by watching what’s happening. You can listen to the fans, and even the drama behind the scenes between Jimmy, Jey.

“We seen that, with Sami trying to talk to Jey. ‘This is not your business.’ Well, in a way, it is. Because the Bloodline is family.”

The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga will take on Roman Reigns and The Usos in six-man tag team action at tonight’s WWE Crown Jewel event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
