Rikishi makes huge declaration following his son Solo Sikoa's loss to Roman Reigns on WWE RAW
Rikishi recently addressed his son Solo Sikoa's defeat against Roman Reigns in Tribal Combat on WWE RAW. He made a huge declaration regarding The Tribal Chief.
Roman Reigns was The Tribal Chief for nearly four years. However, he lost his position after WrestleMania 40 as Solo Sikoa led a coup within The Bloodline. The OTC's former enforcer declared himself the new Tribal Chief as he wore the Ula Fala. Over the past few months, Reigns and his OG Bloodline battled Sikoa and the new Bloodline. The civil war seemingly ended last Monday when the former Undisputed WWE Champion defeated his cousin and retrieved the Ula Fala to restore himself as The Bloodline's Tribal Chief.
Speaking on his Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer urged everyone to acknowledge Reigns as The Tribal Chief:
"I think we all need to acknowledge Roman Reigns, The Tribal Chief. We all need to acknowledge The Tribal Chief, man. What type of character is this guy here. Look at the doors, the opportunities that he's opened, not only for the family, but for the business. Man, we're tied in with Netflix, come on. I guarantee you if the numbers wasn't right for well over four-plus years, this company has been on his back. In comes The Bloodline running these storylines left and right to keep this thing going. Hey, at the end of the day, you can hate us or love us, but the numbers don't lie, baby," he said. [From 31:39 to 32:32]
Rikishi says The Rock passed on the torch to Roman Reigns on WWE RAW
On the same episode of his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi addressed The Rock's actions towards Roman Reigns following the latter's victory over Solo Sikoa. The Final Boss headed to the ring to place the Ula Fala around his cousin's neck. He then hugged the OTC and told him that he loved him.
The Hall of Famer claimed the emotional moment between the two cousins was a passing of the torch from The Rock to Reigns:
"[So, in your opinion, that was The Rock passing on the torch to Roman Reigns?] I feel, yes. I mean, I thought it was done very well," he said.
It would be interesting to see if The High Chief and The Tribal Chief would eventually go head-to-head inside the WWE ring.
