WWE Hall Of Famer Has Bold Prediction Ahead Of Roman Reigns’ Return
A Hall of Famer is ready to acknowledge the huge impact that Roman Reigns will have when he returns to WWE.
The last time that WWE fans saw the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns was at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia this past April. That was when he lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes after Reigns had an incredible 1,316-day reign as the champion.
While WWE has yet to announce a specific return date for Reigns, many people believe it’s likely going to happen at SummerSlam on August 3rd in Cleveland.
Cody Rhodes will put the Undisputed WWE Championship against Roman’s cousin Solo Sikoa at SummerSlam. Over the last several, Solo has led a new version of The Bloodline with Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa & Jacob Fatu by his side. Solo has also told Roman’s “Wise Man” Paul Heyman that Roman wasn’t coming back. In addition to that, Solo’s version of The Bloodline destroyed Heyman and Solo’s brother Jimmy Uso, who has been off television for several months.
When Roman Reigns returns at SummerSlam or some other event, he will likely be cheered as a top babyface. That’s because WWE fans have been chanting “We Want Roman” for several months now. They are ready to acknowledge Roman Reigns as the Tribal Chief again.
Rikishi is a WWE Hall of Famer who is the father of Solo Sikoa and The Usos as well as an uncle to Roman Reigns. Rikishi spoke about Roman’s impending return on his Off The Top podcast.
“When it comes to The Bloodline man, this is what gets me going. The Bloodline, when people talk about The Bloodline, ‘Oh, we tired of the Bloodline.’ You can be tired all you want for a few years, but we’ve been going through this s**t for 75-plus years. You don’t think we tired? But we the type of people, we tired, but we keep coming back.”
“We keep finding solutions, not excuses, solutions, and the solutions need to be the best you can be in that squared circle. Otherwise, if we not over in the squared circle, move us out. If you can put asses in seats, if you can knock those merchandise sales out, if you can bring up WWE’s revenue, TKO’s revenue, if the Bloodline is not that anymore, I get it. Go ahead and just knock it then.”
“But you cannot knock the Bloodline that’s been holding professional wrestling, that’s WWE, on their backs for the last four, five, six years now. S**t, they still holding it without the main guy there.”
Rikishi Predicts That The Return Of Roman Reigns Will Sell Out Everywhere
It was at this point when Rikishi made a point about the kind of impact Roman Reigns will have when he comes back to WWE television.
“Who’s the main guy? Roman motherf**king Reigns. Come on, y’all can write that. Write that s**t. Because when he does come back, oh, you better have enough armored trucks to fill up that bank account for WWE, TKO, because this man here is just gonna sell out everywhere. Everywhere and anywhere throughout the world that WWE books him to.”
“That’s not to mention The Usos when they come back. That’s not to mention maybe another Bloodline member possibly maybe able to drive up in a black Lincoln. I’ll leave it at that.”
The wrestler that Rikishi may have referenced at the end could be former NJPW star Hikuleo, who has signed with WWE and will likely be using the name Talla Tonga when he debuts on screen. He is the brother of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa as well.
