Real-Life Blodline Member Breaks the Silence About Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa Netflix Match

WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi addressed the Roman Reigns versus Solo Sikoa Tribal Combat match from WWE RAW’s Netflix debut during his Off The Top podcast.

First of all, I want to give the fans that are listening to my personal feelings. And you know, those in the wrestling blog, you can definitely write about this. You know, the feeling of a father, home watching his family open up this first big, big mega show. You know, it’s almost bigger than Wrestlemania. You know, all the things that ride with this first show with Netflix. And to be able to have your family open up the show — I don’t even know if proud is the word.

Rikishi reflected on watching his son Solo Sikoa compete against Roman Reigns in the main event:

You got a main event that’s opening up history with Netflix. And that is a lot of pressure, you can imagine. Roman is Roman. And I was watching my son Solo, man. I can’t tell you, man, I had a couple of tears run down my eyes. Just to know that you know how far this kid has come. It’s been a matter of three years, and the pressure that was, you know, opportunity given to him.
