Roman Reigns' return in 2020 as a heel developed something which the fans have been cherishing till now. The idea of forming a stable known as The Bloodline, consisting of his cousins Jimmy and Jey Uso, brought out the best of them as they turned heels and wreaked havoc against the rest of the roster. Reigns became one of the greatest champions of the modern era with his dominant run. With Solo Sikoa leading the charge of the stable, a distinct team has stood up which features rabid men laying out the superstars who go against them. But Rikishi sees that something is off, and the stable needs to face off against a significant type of team.

Rikishi Envisions Epic Feud Between The Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline against a Legendary DX-like Stable

During a recent episode of the "Off The Top" podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi explained his thoughts on the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline, saying that they need to engage in a bitter rivalry against a genuine Babyface team. He feels that it should be a team like the Babyface D-generation X, which could be the icing on the cake. Rikishi explains how the high-profile presence of Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens will help Tama Tonga, Jacob Fatu, and Tonga Loa win over the wrestling fans.

"I'd have to have a team like DX put together. The history of The Bloodline, and the new history of The Bloodline 2.0 all falls underneath the umbrella of the Samoan dynasty. Legacy, and just that alone, the title alone, you put them with, you've got to put these guys with the right people to get the best out of them. Not knocking Cody Rhodes, not knocking Randy [Orton] and [Kevin] Owens ... to make a good babyface, you've got to have the good heels," Rikishi said.

With the return of the 'OTC' Roman Reigns at this year's SummerSlam, the Bloodline has pivoted their attention towards the former Undisputed Universal Champion. Sikoa and Reigns' battle is expected to be stretched for a while until the OTC forms the OG bloodline back to go up against Solo and his henchmen.
