Rikishi, a legendary figure in professional wrestling, has taken to social media to send a clear message to both WWE and AEW: sign emerging female talent Jessica Roden. The Hall of Famer has a history of using his platform to promote up-and-coming wrestlers, and his latest post has sparked interest among fans and industry insiders alike.
In a recent Facebook post, Rikishi responded to a message from Roden, tagging both WWE and AEW in his reply. His plea to the promotions was simple yet emphatic: give Jessica Roden a chance to shine on the grand stage. This is not the first time Rikishi has used his influence to promote new talent, and it’s worth noting that his earlier endorsement of Jacob Fatu, a rising star, may have contributed to the wrestler’s impending move to WWE.
The potential addition of Fatu to the WWE roster is exciting news, particularly in light of the recent reformation of The Bloodline faction, now led by Solo Sikoa. With Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa already part of the group, Fatu’s arrival would undoubtedly bolster the stable’s ranks. The prospect of an eventual showdown between the old and new iterations of The Bloodline has fans eagerly anticipating the drama that is sure to unfold.
Rikishi’s advocacy for Jessica Roden, however, serves as a reminder of the wealth of untapped talent waiting to be discovered in professional wrestling. As a veteran of the industry, his endorsement carries significant weight, and it will be interesting to see how WWE and AEW respond to his call to action.
The question on everyone’s mind is: should WWE listen to Rikishi and give Jessica Roden a chance to shine? The answer, much like Roden’s own wrestling future, remains uncertain. One thing is clear, though – Rikishi’s continued support for emerging talent is a testament to his passion for the sport and his commitment to nurturing the next generation of wrestling superstars.
