The Bloodline has been dominating WWE for almost five years, and it seems that while the faces have changed, their mission remains the same. Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso are now outsiders since Solo Sikoa and his version of The Bloodline have taken over.
It's clear that there is someone behind Solo Sikoa, and while many fans believe it's The Rock who is controlling him, it could be The Street Champ's father. Rikishi could make his first WWE TV appearance since the July 22, 2019, episode of RAW in the coming weeks and be revealed as the real Tribal Chief.
The Samoan legend has been very vocal about The Bloodline on his social media accounts and has shared several videos of his sons. However, last night, the three-time tag team champion and one-time Intercontinental Champion shared an update, which made it clear he was backing Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns. That said, this could be a swerve.

Jimmy and Jey Uso are also Rikishi's sons, and this would explain why Solo headed to RAW with the intention of helping Jey before it all got out of hand and The YEET Master lost his Intercontinental Championship.
Rikishi has been sending messages, paying for Jimmy Uso for several months during his absence, but this could have actually been him praying for Uso to return and unite with Solo Sikoa. However, this is a speculation at this point.
Has Rikishi been trying to reunite his sons on WWE TV?
If Rikishi was the man behind Solo Sikoa, then it would make sense that he has been trying to reunite his family over the past few months. Sikoa and Jimmy appear to have made it clear that they won't be reuniting, but Sikoa has been pushing for Jey to rejoin.
If Rikishi's issue is with Roman Reigns in the same way that The Rock now appears to have a problem with the erstwhile Big Dog, then his midset would make sense if he was just trying to get his three boys away from the Original Tribal Chief.
Could he finally be set to unveil himself as the man behind Solo Sikoa ahead of the WWE Survivor Series?
