Rikishi points out Paul Heyman's big mistake while taking dangerous bump during The Bloodline's savage attack

WWE legend and real-life Bloodline member Rikishi has opened up about the bump that Paul Heyman recently took on SmackDown. He refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as his Tribal Chief and was brutally attacked by The Bloodline.

The Wiseman isn't a part of The Bloodline anymore. On a recent episode of WWE SmackDown, Solo Sikoa told him to acknowledge him as The Tribal Chief. Heyman, who is still loyal to Roman Reigns, refused to do so. An irate Solo and other members of The Bloodline attacked Heyman and hit him with a Triple Powerbomb through the announce table.

On the latest edition of Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer opened up about the sequence and pointed out a mistake that Paul Heyman made. Check out his comments below:

"Well, I mean at 58 years old, you know Paul's not a wrestler. You know what I mean, I mean he's taking bumps but not correct bumps where he's able to protect him and so forth. I've seen that part of course on my Instagram... the WWE stories that they sent, big ups to Paul for taking that bump. He looked like he landed sideways which I feel he should have flattened out a little bit more, but I mean, to a guy that's not what he does. Take a bump and stuff like that. It just goes to show you how much Paul is invested into this Bloodline story, so big ups to Paul." [13:43-14:34]

Paul Heyman might make a return alongside Roman Reigns

Heyman has been kicked out of The Bloodline. Roman Reigns has been away from WWE TV since WrestleMania XL, where he lost the Undisputed WWE title to Cody Rhodes.

At this point, it seems Paul Heyman will make a return to WWE TV alongside Reigns somewhere down the line. The duo is bound to receive a massive pop if they return as a unit and confront Solo Sikoa's Bloodline.
