A buzz has been set off within the WWE universe as Hall of Famer Rikishi hints at making his presence felt at the upcoming WrestleMania 40. Rikishi has been notably engaged with the current storyline, “the Bloodline saga,” often sharing his thoughts and celebrating high points of the plot unfold.
But the Bloodline’s stable run is under the threat from Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania, hinting that Rikishi could be considering a return to the ring post his retirement. The expectations for WrestleMania are high, with Cody Rhodes aiming to unseat Roman Reigns as the Undisputed WWE Champion on the second night’s main event. Furthermore, Cody Rhodes is anticipated to join forces with Seth Rollins against The Rock and Roman Reigns on the event’s opening night.
Another tantalizing storyline heading towards a climax at WrestleMania is the possible singles match-up between Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso. In this family turmoil, Rikishi has sparked rumors of getting involved in his children’s match during an appearance at the Monopoly Event’s for the Love of Wrestling, suggesting it as a potential missing element.
“I think it’s going to be a good match for WrestleMania. But there’s just a piece missing in that match. What do you guys think? There’s a piece missing. We’ve got Jey Vs. Jimmy. But there’s just that [piece missing.] Is it #WeWantRikishi?”
While not competing himself, the involvement of Rikishi in his sons’ bout would be fitting, considering WWE’s affinity for ramping up the intensity of its feuds. With this in mind, it wouldn’t be a stretch to envisage Rikishi in a pivotal role, possibly as a special guest referee, at WrestleMania.
