WWE legend to return after 4 years and help Solo Sikoa retain the Ula Fala on RAW? Exploring the potential 

Solo Sikoa has the most important WWE match of his career on the January 6 episode of RAW on Netflix. It's a fight for the Ula Fala against his cousin Roman Reigns. While the odds are seemingly stacked against Solo, a legend might return to help Solo beat Roman Reigns and retain the Ula Fala.

This would be his father, Rikishi. The last time the Hall of Famer was seen in WWE was in 2020 at Survivor Series when he showed up to attend The Undertaker's retirement ceremony. The chances of Rikishi returning to WWE after four years to help his son during the high-voltage match are high because he has been praising his son's growth in the promotion.

The 59-year-old legend has praised Solo for being able to pull the role of Tribal Chief so far. After the Survivor Series: WarGames match, Rikishi, on his podcast, Off The Top, praised Solo for pulling his villainous character so well.

He remarked that there was a lot of pressure on Solo about whether he would be able to pull it off against The OTC, Roman Reigns. Seeing the response on social media, Rikishi said that he was convinced that his son had succeeded in fulfilling his role as a heel.

"There was a lot of pressure. Is he gonna be able to carry that weight? Can he carry the ball? But we’ve seen the short amount of time, the growth of this professional, learning all he’s learned. He was able to adapt into this Solo Sikoa role, and you can hear it, the fans online, he got heat so quick, it’s because how Solo invested himself into this character of who he is. He’s a made man," Rikishi said. [H/T - Fightful Select]

Rikishi says he sees Solo Sikoa winning the WWE championship in 2025

The Hall of Famer went a step ahead and said that he sees his son dethroning Cody Rhodes as the Undisputed WWE Champion in 2025. Rikishi had spoken about this earlier also when Solo had pinned Cody at Money in the Bank in July 2024 in the six-man tag team match. After Survivor Series: WarGames, Rikishi reiterated that he sees Solo winning the championship in 2025.

"It’s his time to eat. He’s been out for a minute, perfecting the craft, waited his turn, waited for his opportunity. 2025, I see Solo Sikoa, WWE Champion," Rikishi said. [H/T - Fightful Select]

Seeing as how the Hall of Famer has been so vocal about his son winning the top prize in the company next year, he might shock the fans on January 6, making a shocking appearance to help him to retain the Ula Fala.
