"I would have to go silent on that one," said a WWE Hall of Famer when questioned about his potential involvement with the Bloodline 

Some family-related segments, most notably, a "Bloodline Ceremony" was initially planned for Monday Night Raw's 30th Anniversary.

Beyond Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, and Jimmy & Jey Uso, WWE has typically refrained from including too many other occupants of The Anoa’i Family in the plot for The Bloodline. The rest of the family tree (often referred to as “The Elders”) has only been addressed in passing since The Wild Samoans made an appearance at Hell in a Cell 2020 to present Reigns with his ceremonial lei designating his title as “The Tribal Chief.” Some family-related segments—most notably, a “Bloodline Ceremony” that was initially scheduled for Monday Night Raw’s 30th Anniversary special for earlier this year—were left off the final product. 

Father of The Usos and Sikoa

In a recent interview with Sportskeeda, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, the father of The Usos and Sikoa, eventually discussed the subject of whether or not he intends to participate in the plot now that the faction appears to be dissolving. When questioned about his potential involvement, the big man responded “I would have to go silent on that one,”. He was questioned on his sons’ character development all over the Bloodline Saga. 

“Jimmy is laid back. I’d say Jey is kind of the one that’s in your face. Solo is kind of what he is today, the silent killer. I’m proud of all three of them, including Roman Reigns, to be able to be out there and represent the family today,” he added. 

‘The whole world acknowledges Roman Reigns’

“I think the whole world acknowledges Roman Reigns. I am proud of Joe, Sika Joe Anoa’i. Roman Reigns is doing one hell of a job carrying the ball for the company for numerous years. I mean, it’s not easy to be The Guy. There’s so much responsibility behind the curtains and he’s doing a good job. I just hope and I pray that he continues his strength and continues to take care of himself and get some rest.” Expressed the big man as he utilized the occasion to compliment Reigns’ performance as WWE’s top athlete. 

The final official WWE encounter involving Rikishi was held on January 6, 2014. In order to defeat 3MB (Jinder Mahal, Drew McIntyre, and Heath Slater), he paired together with Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay, and Scotty 2 Hotty).
