A real-life member of The Bloodline praised a major WWE star following this week's edition of RAW. The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa will be squaring off against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship this Friday night on SmackDown.
Solo Sikoa's father, WWE legend Rikishi, recently praised World Heavyweight Champion Gunther on his Off The Top podcast. The Hall of Famer noted that The Ring General is great in promos, and the company appears to have big plans for the 36-year-old. The legend previously claimed that he wanted his son, Jey Uso, to capture the World Heavyweight Championship from the leader of Imperium.
"Gunther has that Ludvig Borga type of heat. Remember Boris Zhukov? And the guy can talk. You know, he beat Randy (Orton) on the PPV in Berlin. Sounds to me like the company got big plans for him. I look forward to meeting this guy. You know, I know I said what I said about him, and was probably me just being angry. All of ya'll were p*ssed off, and ya'll can kiss my a**," said Rikishi.

Bill Apter claims Bloodline member has lost his edge on WWE SmackDown
Wrestling veteran Bill Apter recently suggested that Solo Sikoa has cooled off in recent weeks on SmackDown.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk show, Apter noted that Sikoa used to have maniacal tendencies but now comes off as a college kid on television. He added that Jacob Fatu had become the most feared member of The Bloodline on the blue brand.
"What kinda gets me is that Solo Sikoa, when he first started off in WWE, had those maniacal type of tendencies. Tonight, here, he is in a suit, looking like a wonderful college kid, well spoken, and perfectly poised. I just think that fear that he had about him for such a long time has cooled off quite a bit. The fans really are afraid of Jacob Fatu. He's got all the ingredients of an old-school bad guy," he said. [From 5:51 onwards]
