WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi confirms appearance for upcoming event

WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi took to social media to announce that he's scheduled for an upcoming event. The wrestling legend hilariously referred to himself as the "Tribal Cheeks" in the post.

The 59-year-old is the father of Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and the self-proclaimed leader of The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa. He is also related to another member of the group, Jacob Fatu. The former Intercontinental Champion's sons are not on the same page right now, though Jimmy has been trying to mend fences with his twin brother.

Rikishi sent out a tweet on X announcing his appearance for a non-wrestling event. He will attend New York Comic Con from October 17 to October 20, where he will sign autographs and take pictures with fans.

"Get ready to acknowledge the Tribal Cheeks, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi at NYCC! Catch him at Headlocked Comics Booth #1034 for autographs, photos and more!" he wrote.

Rikishi on Jimmy Uso's WWE SummerSlam return

At Bad Blood 2024, Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns formed an unlikely alliance and collided with The Bloodline. Jimmy Uso finally returned to WWE during the match and helped the babyfaces get the victory.

Speaking on the Off The Top podcast, Rikishi shared his reaction to Jimmy Uso's surprise return:

"I seen the highlights, when he come through, and when I seen that part there, all I was really listening to was the fans. That da*n building erupted. It just erupted. So that type of feeling and that type of sound, let’s go way back three years ago, it’s almost when Solo Sikoa came in for Roman. Then here it is, so I’m watching this, and as a proud father, come on. I’m always gonna talk about my kids out there on social media. So yeah, it was a big night," he said.

Jimmy Uso showed up on RAW this week and tried to mend fences with Jey Uso. However, the latter wasn't interested in listening to what he had to say.
