WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi recently commented on Solo Sikoa pinning Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The real-life Bloodline member gave his son a new nickname.
Since Reigns' return at SummerSlam, he and Sikoa have been fighting over the Tribal Chief status. Earlier this month, the former NXT North American Champion led The Bloodline to defeat the Original Tribal Chief and The Usos in a Six-Man Tag Team match at Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The square-off ended with the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief pinning the former Universal Champion.
On his Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, the Hall of Famer pointed out that the former NXT North American Champion pinning Reigns was like, ''Okay, you beat the GOAT, now you're considered the GOAT." The wrestling legend gave his 31-year-old son a new nickname, dubbing him "The GOAT Slayer."

Rikishi thinks Solo Sikoa could dethrone the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes
On the same episode of his Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, the Hall of Famer claimed Solo Sikoa could be the one to end Cody Rhodes' Undisputed WWE Championship reign.
The WWE legend pointed out that although he initially thought Reigns could be the one to accomplish the mission, he can now see his son do it after pinning the "GOAT":
"Solo's a made man. You know, for that to happen, there's definitely we see plans within this kid that, you know, what can be the next level for him? You know, we talked about does he need a belt. Well, after this one, two, three on Roman, I almost kinda, you know, I can see maybe Solo be the one to take it off of Cody. Cuz I talked about maybe Roman will come back and take it off of Cody, you know, but after seeing that, you beat the GOAT," he said.
Sikoa will probably lead The Bloodline to fight the OG Bloodline at Survivor Series: WarGames, it would be interesting to see if he can lead his team to another victory over Reigns and his partners.
