Rikishi Addresses ‘Perfect Time’ For The Rock To Turn Heel Again In WWE WWE

Rikishi has stated that a recent WWE Raw moment would have been ‘perfect’ for Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to turn heel once again.

Real-life Bloodline family member Rikishi has weighed in on a recent interaction between The Rock and Roman Reigns, pitching an idea of how it could have gone down very differently.

Rikishi spoke on his Over The Top podcast about the moment between The Rock and Roman Reigns on the WWE Raw on Netflix premiere episode:

“Just because I’m one of the boys, like, ‘Okay, where do we go with this,’ right? I’m thinking, like, Man, this is, is something going to happen here or as always, like, maybe not yet. We’re just going to plant the seed. That’s the way I seen it.

It was a good way of The Rock validating, somewhat like passing the torch over to [Roman] because they kept mentioning The Rock’s name on TV, his Matai name, okay, his Matai Name is Seiuli. So, for Seiuli, The Rock, to be able to actually — we’ve seen that before.

When the Ula Fala was first introduced into the world of professional wrestling, or we’ve seen Roman’s father, Uncle Sika give Roman the blessings of the Ula Fala. So when I seen that happen on Monday Night Raw, it was like a beautiful thing, man, but it also like, boy, if I wanted to turn heel, if Rock wanted to turn heel, what a perfect time to do it.”

Recent reports have noted that while things could change, currently members of WWE creative are not anticipating Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson wrestling at WrestleMania 41.
