It’s almost like herding cats keeping Rikishi from probing into WWE’s booking, especially of The Bloodline. Having said that, The Samoan Stinker feels like Jacob Fatu, who also happens to be his nephew, is being pushed too fast. Speaking on his ‘Off The Top’ podcast, the 58-year-old wrestling icon expressed his concern for Fatu’s immediate ascend, merely three months into his WWE debut.
Rikishi argued having The Samoan Werewolf go toe-to-toe with Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes, saying it’s way too soon to count on that. The WWE Hall of Famer appears to be referring to the scenes from a few weeks ago on SmackDown where Rhodes handpicked Jacob to bestow a world title shot on him instead of Solo Sikoa.
The fans in attendance seemed over the moon with that subtle tease for Fatu; however, Sikoa ended up being Cody’s challenger anyway. The way WWE is already letting the newest Bloodline member stand up to top faces like Cody doesn’t feel apt to Rikishi. So what’s needed to be done as per the latter? It’s plain and simple.
I think Jacob’s being pushed too fast, when you go to Cody, where do you go from there, Cody is thee guy right now, I’ve said this before, let Jacob rampage through the whole roster.........Rikishi on Jacob Fatu via Off The Top podcast
WWE could book Fatu to run through the roster and even add a few squash matches to his kitty. Rikishi recently commented on a rumor encircling Jacob and WWE CCO Triple H. Someone on the internet spread the word that The Samoan Werewolf had a backstage altercation with the 14-time World Champion.
To clear the air, Rikishi debunked the made-up claim, saying Fatu would never disrespect his elders, or even his cousins for that matter. Come October 5, he’ll team up with Solo Sikoa to take on the makeshift pairing of Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns at Bad Blood.
Fans ask Rikishi to stop talking following his absurd Jacob Fatu take
These days, the fans do not take very kindly to anything Rikishi has to say. It began when the former 3-time tag team champion started whining about the lackluster booking of his son Jey Uso. Since then, the Samoan Stinker hasn’t stopped talking.
In fact, Jey himself told his father to not create ruckus and let him work. Fans on social media have similar sentiments for Rikishi now that he has underscored the flaws in Jacob Fatu‘s booking as well.
Almost everyone is asking the WWE HOF’er to be positive for once in life. An account noted that he’s not too happy with Jacob’s meteoric rise as he’s presented as a bigger star than his son, Solo Sikoa.
