WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi has reacted to Roman Reigns branding Solo Sikoa the next Tribal Chief.

On SmackDown, Reigns made a huge announcement. He declared that if anything happened to him, Solo Sikoa would be the one to hold the position of The Tribal Chief. Jimmy Uso didn't seem happy over the announcement.

Shortly after, Roman Reigns shared a post on Instagram, confirming his comments. He captioned that Solo Sikoa is "next in line." Sikoa's father and WWE legend Rikishi acknowledged the decision by sharing it on his Instagram. He also shared Reigns' promo on his story.

Reigns became The Tribal Chief in 2020, shortly after his heel turn. He aligned with Paul Heyman and won the Universal Title mere days later. He then formed The Bloodline, one of the most dominant stables in WWE history.

Solo Sikoa joined The Bloodline last year when he helped Reigns defeat Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle. Many fans have been speculating since then that Sikoa would become the next Tribal Chief, and Reigns has finally confirmed the same.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
