Rikishi, the 59-year-old professional wrestling legend, has made a bold prediction about his 31-year-old son, Solo Sikoa, potentially becoming the Undisputed WWE Champion in 2025. The Samoan Stinker believes that Sikoa has the skills, credibility, and charisma to reach the pinnacle of success in the WWE. According to Rikishi, Sikoa has spent years perfecting his craft and waiting for the right moment to strike, and that moment is now.
Sikoa has been making waves in the WWE in recent months, carving out his own identity as the leader of The Bloodline. He has demonstrated his ability to connect with the audience, even when facing off against established stars like Cody Rhodes. Rikishi is confident that Sikoa will continue to rise to new heights, and he sees no reason why he can’t become the champion in the near future.
In an interview on his podcast, Rikishi claimed that Sikoa’s time is now, and he will seize the opportunity to become the Undisputed WWE Champion in 2025. “This is his time to Yeet…This is his time to Yeet. He’s been out for a minute. Perfected his craft, waited for his turn. Waited for his opportunity. 2025, I see Solo Sikoa as [Undisputed] WWE Champion,” Rikishi declared.
Rikishi’s assertion may seem surprising to some, as Sikoa is still relatively new to the WWE main event scene. However, Rikishi believes that Sikoa’s untapped potential, combined with his current momentum, makes him a prime contender for the top spot. If anyone knows what it takes to be a successful WWE champion, it’s Rikishi, who had a illustrious career spanning over two decades.
But Rikishi’s prediction isn’t limited to Sikoa’s solo success. He also proposed an intriguing idea about the potential fallout following Roman Reigns’ pinning of Solo Sikoa in the Men’s WarGames Match at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. Rikishi suggested that Sikoa could approach Reigns and the two could form an unlikely alliance to take over the WWE. According to Rikishi, Sikoa’s recent struggles and Reigns’ eventual victory could lead to a newfound bromance between the two, with the ultimate goal of dominating the WWE.
While Rikishi’s prediction may be seen as far-fetched by some, it’s undeniable that Sikoa has been making significant strides in his WWE career. With Rikishi’s guidance and support, it’s possible that Sikoa could reach the top of the mountain in the near future. Whether that future involves solo success or an unlikely alliance with Reigns remains to be seen. One thing is certain, however: Rikishi’s confidence in his son’s abilities is unwavering, and he believes that Sikoa has the potential to become a WWE legend.
