WWE Hall of Famer and Bloodline member Rikishi reacted to an edited photo of Taylor Swift seemingly acknowledging Roman Reigns.
The renowned singer-songwriter attended Super Bowl LVIII to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce, a player for the Kansas City Chiefs. During the game, Swift made a gesture similar to the “We The Ones” symbol often used by The Bloodline in WWE, particularly to show respect to The Tribal Chief.
Fans swiftly edited Swift into a picture of The Bloodline, which quickly spread across social media. Rikishi took notice and shared the edited image on Instagram, adding a lighthearted comment: “Who invited swifty ??? !!”
Regarding the ongoing storyline involving Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and The Rock, Rikishi expressed his views on his Off The Top podcast. Reflecting on the developments leading to WrestleMania XL, he acknowledged the complexity of the situation:
“For me, I would love to see Cody finally finish the story, right? But, when you look from a business standpoint, do we take it to just thinking about the one person or do we think about what’s going to continue to put a**es in seats? Because right now, it’s really really hard to beat Roman Reigns.”

Rikishi continued, discussing potential future scenarios: “If there’s another person that can step in Roman’s shoes and put a**es in seats if not like him or more, then you can rest assured WWE or TKO now, is going to be able to give that person an opportunity.”
Regarding the possibility of Cody Rhodes facing The Rock, Rikishi suggested a sequence of events involving Reigns stepping back to allow The Rock to face Rhodes, potentially elevating Rhodes to the next level in WWE.
Roman Reigns and The Rock recently addressed the fallout from the Press Event on SmackDown, confirming their alliance, which could pose challenges for Cody Rhodes moving forward.
