WWE is getting more interesting on the road to WrestleMania 40, especially with the feuds involving The Bloodline, Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso. At WrestleMania 40, The Rock & Roman Reigns of the Bloodline will be facing Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins in a Tag Team Match main event on Night 1, which decides the Night 2 main event stipulations of Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
On the other hand, Jey Uso & Jimmy Uso will fight against each other for the very first time. With just days away from WrestleMania 40, an Anoa’i family member, the Samoan Dynasty member, Rikishi has advised all the members involved in the storyline & also teases new members’ involvement.
Rikishi believes new players involvement in The Bloodline story
WWE Hall of Famer & The Usos’ father Rikishi on the latest episode of ‘RIKISHI FATU OFF THE TOP’ advised The Rock, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso & Paul Heyman, not to trust anybody. He also feels that there could be some new players who could show up on Monday Night on Raw, Friday Night SmackDown & at WrestleMania.
Rikishi Fatu said,
“Don’t trust no one. Don’t trust nobody. Everybody that’s involved in this, don’t trust nobody. Roman, Rock, Cody, Seth Rollins, The Usos vs. each other, Paul Heyman, don’t trust nobody. There’s still one week away. There could be new players that shows up on Monday, there could be other players that shows up Friday. Then into WrestleMania.”
Last week, we saw a surprise appearance of The Rock, who showed up without any prior announcements. He sent a secret message to Cody Rhodes and then brutally assaulted him during the final moments of the show, making Cody burst open.
What does the new player tease by Rikishi mean? Could it be Zila Fatu, who recently wrote his excitement on X, for The Jimmy Uso vs Jey Uso match, saying “YEET!”. Or Could it be Dustin Rhodes, Cody Rhodes’ brother, who has previously teased his WWE return saying, “I’m here for it more than you know”, when replying to a fan’s post on X. Will it be Rikishi himself, or some other from the Anoa’i family?
