Rikishi makes bold prediction about Paul Heyman's allegiance amid rumors of potential betrayal of OG Bloodline
Last Friday on WWE SmackDown, Paul Heyman returned after several months of absence. However, his almost-matching outfit with Solo Sikoa sparked rumors of him potentially turning on the OG Bloodline. WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi recently addressed these speculations.
The Wiseman was taken out by the new Bloodline last June. He remained off television for nearly five months before surprisingly returning last Friday to reveal CM Punk as the OG Bloodline team's final member for the upcoming WarGames Match at Survivor Series. Nevertheless, Heyman was wearing an outfit similar to one Solo Sikoa previously wore on the blue brand. This led to several fans and experts speculating whether the WWE Hall of Famer was loyal to Roman Reigns.
On his Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, the WWE legend made a bold statement by claiming that Heyman would never work with Sikoa. Instead, he would remain at Reigns' side no matter what.
"Listen, I think colors are colors, you know what I mean? Who knows? Like, you know, The Bloodline is red and black whether they wear a suit or they have the similar suit. I don't think there's ever anything that's gonna happen with Paul E. [Heyman] and Solo. You know, Paul E. [Heyman] knows where he needs to be, where he should be, and where he will always be, and that's right by Roman Reigns no matter what," he said.
Rikishi suggested Paul Heyman wearing an outfit similar to Sikoa's might have been an accidental wardrobe malfunction, and possibly didn't indicate anything more than that.
"Who knows? Maybe Paul E. [Heyman] just accidentally grabbed a... I don't think Paul E. [Heyman] wants to come out there and actually to, you know, look like what Solo's wearing. So, it might've been just an innocent wardrobe malfunction, I don't know," he added. [16:53 - 17:42]

WWE analyst predicts what would happen if Paul Heyman sides with the new Bloodline
On his Notsam Wrestling podcast, WWE analyst Sam Roberts did not rule out the possibility of Paul Heyman turning on Roman Reigns and the OG Bloodline to side with Solo Sikoa's team.
The 41-year-old pointed out that if the WWE Hall of Famer betrayed Reigns, the latter would certainly have a one-on-one match against Solo Sikoa at a major premium live event in the near future.
"If Paul Heyman were to align with the new Bloodline, I don't think you would even have to question if a Roman Reigns [vs.] Solo Sikoa match could headline a major pay-per-view [PLE], be it at Saturday Night's Main Event [sic], a Royal Rumble, or even a WrestleMania," he said.
Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa have exchanged pinfalls at Bad Blood and Crown Jewel in tag team matches. It will be interesting to see who will win a potential one-on-one bout between the two Tribal Chiefs.
