If there's one person perfectly qualified to review Jey Uso‘s recent run as a singles star within the WWE Universe, it's Rikishi, the Fatu family Hall of Famer who has been watching his son's success at every step along the way.

Discussing what it's been like to see his middle son transform himself from a WrestleMania main event-caliber tag team star into one of the most popular singles stars in wrestling right now, Rikishi unsurprisingly put his son over but also reserved some time to talk about the “Eater of Worlds,” Bray Wyatt too, the man how brought the Fireflies to WWE and the “Main Eventer” now features as part of his presentation. As a huge fan of Wyatt, Rikishi is proud to see his legacy continue, especially since he was such a good friend of Uso before his passing.

“Jey Uso, man, what a h*ll of a run. Just caught a few of the King of the Ring and so forth. Man, just to see… when I watch my son out there performing or any of my boys, I'm always watching the reaction of the crowd. To see him out there just pretty much have the crowd in the palm of his hands, you got the [fireflies] coming back. Ain't that a trip?” Rikishi asked on Off The Top via Fightful. “Bray Wyatt's one of my favorite wrestlers, and to see his spirit in there… You know the friendship between the two. That has to feel so amazing, to know that my friend's spirit is around, and here I am to carry it on. You're not taking his place, but what he was remembered for, as far as, in the crowd, they would turn on their phones and lights, and now, you have a friend that was dear to you that's able to continue that on and make it the way that the fans receive it. It's a beautiful thing. I'm so, so proud of Jey.”

Did Uso ask for fans to hold up their phones when he comes out to the ring and bob their flashlights to the tune of his theme? No, but he has called himself the “Yeeter of Worlds” on social media, a post that generated a very mixed response across the IWC. Still, Uso has since played back his comments ever so slightly to declare the move a tribute instead of a co-option, and Rikishi continued that on his Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast. If fans are going to do what fans are going to do, then the Fatu family is wise to play up that friendship in order to keep things respectful.

Rikishi is proud to see Guerrillas of Destiny finally join The Bloodline.

Elsewhere on his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi discussed the WWE debut of the Guerrillas of Destiny, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa, who have recently joined The Bloodline as the muscle behind an emboldened Solo Sikoa. While GOD aren't technically a part of the Anoa'i-Fatu wrestling dynasty, they are sons of Haku, who is a part of the greater Polynesian wrestling family and thus welcomed members of the group.

“Those two kids, Tama and his brother, Tonga Loa, they're [related] to the family, as far as with Uncle Haku and so forth. These kids, I couldn't wait for them to come to WWE. They've done so much out there, the hard work and building their brand out there in New Japan, that it was awesome to see them finally come home,” Rikishi revealed via Fightful. “The Bloodline, the WWE is home. To be able to see them come and not just go right into an angle, they're only put there for the simple fact that they belong there. Nothing else, nothing more. You got Roman that's out the picture now, Jimmy's out the picture now. Now here comes Solo and his crew, what they like to call The Bloodline 2.0, the brothers, Tama and Tonga Loa, they're doing a great job. They both look great, they look fresh. So nice to see fresh faces out of there, being involved in The Bloodline, and family at that.”

Would it have made more sense for WWE to debut, say, Jacob Fatu and Zilla Fatu or even Lance Anoa'i as Sikoa's muscle in order to keep The Bloodline actually based on blood? Potentially so, but in the end, bringing GOD into the WWE Universe feels like a benefit to everyone, as it adds some fun storylines that could engage WWE fans from The Bloodline versus The OC, or even The Bloodline versus Judgment Day, which features the original leader of the Bullet Club, Finn Balor, as a member of their ranks. Considering the “Samoan Wearwolf” is currently in the bullpen waiting for his chance to throw a few heaters, establishing GOD now makes all of the sense in the world.
