Tue Jan 07 01:30:00 UTC 2025: ## WWE Legend Rikishi Weighs in on the Future of the Bloodline

**TAMPA, FL** – Wrestling veteran Rikishi recently shared his insights on the future of WWE’s New Bloodline faction during an appearance on the *Off The Top* podcast. The wrestling icon offered advice to Jimmy Uso, and speculated on potential new recruits.

Regarding Jimmy Uso’s role in 2025, Rikishi emphasized the importance of his continued leadership. “Continue to play that part,” Rikishi advised. “He’s the older brother, the older Bloodline…He’s got experience with him and his brother, Jey. He still has people to be there for, families, and to be able to lead the newcomers.”

The question of adding new members to the New Bloodline also arose. Rikishi suggested that the current members – Solo Sikoa, Jacob, and Tama Tonga – have individual pursuits before considering expansion. He envisions Solo vying for the main championship, Jacob for a mid-card title, and Tama potentially forming a tag team to chase the tag team championships. He added that once those goals are addressed, then “maybe that’d be a good time to bring the big man in,” referencing Haku’s other son, and also mentioned Lance Anoa’i’s potential return after recovering from injury.

Rikishi’s comments offer a glimpse into the strategic planning behind the New Bloodline’s evolution, hinting at a carefully orchestrated path for its members and the possibility of fresh faces joining the faction in the future. (Quotes from *Off The Top*, h/t 411mania.com)
