As anticipation builds for tonight’s episode of RAW at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, a former WWE Superstar has shared a comedic message with Rikishi, the patriarch of wrestling’s famed family, The Usos and Solo Sikoa.
Following the merger with Endeavor last September, WWE underwent significant backstage and roster changes, including the release of numerous talents, among them the notable name of Shelton Benjamin.
Benjamin, currently a free agent, showcased his lighthearted side on his Instagram story today, posting a humorous video featuring Rikishi using his signature move to send him flying across the ring with his massive rear end.
While Benjamin’s future remains uncertain, recent rumors suggested discussions with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), yet Max Caster of The Acclaimed cast doubt on such a move for the veteran.
Meanwhile, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long shared his perspective on the potential involvement of Rikishi in the unfolding drama of The Bloodline.
Speaking on The Wrestling Time Machine, Long expressed dissatisfaction with how Jey Uso’s departure from the faction was handled, proposing that Rikishi’s inclusion could have enhanced the storyline’s conclusion.
