The Bloodline has undergone some changes in recent weeks. Rikishi has given his honest thoughts on those changes.

After Roman Reigns lost his title at WrestleMania 40, The Bloodline has undergone some massive changes. It started when Solo Sikoa kicked Jimmy Uso out of the group and replaced him with Tama Tonga. If that wasn't bad enough, he also added Tama's brother Tonga Loa to the group, making them unstoppable on WWE SmackDown.

Speaking on his Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, Rikishi gave his thoughts on Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa's WWE debut.

“Those two kids, Tama and his brother, Tonga Loa, they’re [related] to the family, as far as with Uncle Haku and so forth. These kids, I couldn’t wait for them to come to WWE. They’ve done so much out there, the hard work and building their brand out there in New Japan, that it was awesome to see them finally come home. The Bloodline, the WWE is home."

He continued:

"To be able to see them come and not just go right into an angle, they’re only put there for the simple fact that they belong there. Nothing else, nothing more. You got Roman that’s out the picture now, Jimmy’s out the picture now. Now here comes Solo and his crew, what they like to call The Bloodline 2.0, the brothers, Tama and Tonga Loa, they’re doing a great job. They both look great, they look fresh. So nice to see fresh faces out of there, being involved in The Bloodline, and family at that," Rikishi said. [H/T - Fightful]

Rikishi doesn't want Jacob Fatu to join The Bloodline

The Bloodline has been busy as of late bringing in new family members into the group. One such real-life Bloodline member who has been doing a great job outside WWE is Jacob Fatu. For several weeks, it has been rumored that Jacob Fatu make his WWE debut and he might join his brothers in The Bloodline.

Speaking on his Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer mentioned that Jacob Fatu needs to stand out on his own.

"I kind of see Jacob [Fatu] coming in alone. I see Jacob be at Smackdown or RAW, just coming back into that old TV match, three minutes annihilating people. You know, just go to RAW, three minutes annihilating people. So, he's not really with a brand because if he stays stuck in the brands, and they announced that he's with RAW, now you kind of already, 'Okay, when is he going to go with Jey?' But if he's committed to SmackDown, fans are going to say, 'Oh, when is he gonna go with The Bloodline?' So he needs to come in different," Rikishi said.
