As a father, what do you do when you see your sons being torn apart and manipulated by an older family member? If you ask Rikishi (whose real name is Solofa Fatu Jr.), he's got no choice but to get his butt hands dirty.
A world-shattering shift occurred within the ranks of WWE's The Bloodline, the wrestling faction compromised mostly of Anoa'i family members. This collective, headed by Roman Reigns, includes his real-life cousins, Jimmy and Jey Uso, who are collectively known as The Usos, and Solo Sikoa as well as The Wiseman, Paul Heyman, a long-time family friend.
Their relationships have been put under tremendous strain in recent months, most especially following the shocking events that transpired in the lead-up to and at the WWE Night of Champions.
At the crux of the turmoil is the ever-loyal Jimmy Uso. In an unexpected turn of events, Jimmy betrayed The Tribal Chief, costing him and Sikoa their opportunity to win the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships.
Jimmy's actions are part of the latest string of incidents suggesting the imminent implosion of The Bloodline. The cracks have been building up all along but they weren't as noticeable until Sami Zayn broke through and earned the group's trust enough to become an Honorary Uso before leaving the faction to team up with his old friend, Kevin Owens. The two later usurped the Usos at WrestleMania 39 to claim the WWE Tag Team Championships.
