Rikishi advises Jacob Fatu to build experience before facing Cody Rhodes for WWE Championship

Solo Sikoa recently got another shot at Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship. Before this, Rhodes had offered the title opportunity to Jacob Fatu, Sikoa’s relative from The Bloodline. However, Fatu turned it down. WWE legend Rikishi, Fatu’s uncle, thinks it’s too soon for his nephew to face Rhodes.

Rikishi believes Fatu needs more time to develop. He suggests Fatu should face other wrestlers first, including some quick wins to show off his skills. Rikishi feels that putting Fatu against Rhodes now would be premature and not beneficial for Fatu’s career growth.

After Fatu’s rejection, Sikoa challenged Rhodes for the title on September 13’s “WWE SmackDown.” Although Rhodes kept his title, The Bloodline attacked him afterward. Surprisingly, Roman Reigns returned to help Rhodes fight them off. Now, a tag team match is set for WWE Bad Blood, with Rhodes and Reigns facing Fatu and Sikoa.
