Who Will Be the New Wiseman in The Bloodline’s Future?
The New Dynamics of the Bloodline
The faction has changed significantly now that Solo Sikoa has taken over as Tribal Chief and The Bloodline has removed Paul Heyman from office. The group’s somewhat inexperienced members might find it difficult to hold onto their dominance in the absence of a Wiseman to mentor them. Everyone is wondering if Heyman’s position as an advocate will be filled by a new person.
Rikishi’s Interest in the Position: The Viewpoint of a WWE Hall of Famer
Former WWE Superstar Rikishi has shown interest in taking on the role of The Bloodline’s new Wiseman. Rikishi is the father of Jimmy and Jey Uso in addition to Solo Sikoa. In his podcast, “Rikishi Fatu Off The Top,” he expressed his excitement for the part. Rikishi has expressed his confusion over why he hasn’t been more active in The Bloodline storyline on social media and in past podcasts. With his history in wrestling and his close family connection to the group, Rikishi thinks he might give the faction the legitimacy and seriousness that it lacks at the moment.
Issues with Rikishi’s Commitment
Rikishi has been open about his unwillingness to take on a full-time WWE position, despite his eagerness. He clarified:
“People ask if I would be interested in going back to becoming The Wiseman. Yes, I suppose. It is logical. The only reason I would probably decline is that I don’t want to be on the road, so is the scheduling going to be a problem? My life now consists of so much more than just professional wrestling. My time is now my own; seeing my children and grandchildren is the second aspect of my life, and it makes me feel good to visit the guys’ houses.”
The Wiseman’s Role: More Than Just a Talking Point
In The Bloodline, The Wiseman plays a critical role. Not only is it important to be the group’s spokesperson, but you also need to direct their tactics both inside and outside the ring. Paul Heyman was excellent in this capacity, offering not only poetic promos but also a keen insight into the politics of wrestling and match preparation. Someone with a thorough understanding of the industry and the capacity to be present on a regular basis will need to replace him.
Suitable People for the Wiseman Position
The Rock: A Far-Off Prospect
Many fans have theorized that The Rock would eventually make a comeback to support The Bloodline with his star power. In the immediate term, though, this seems improbable given his hectic schedule. If he makes a comeback, it will probably be a big deal, maybe at a WrestleMania, rather than a weekly appearance.
Additional Family Members
There are other possible possibilities within the Anoa’i family who could step up, especially considering the familial character of The Bloodline. For example, Sika, the original Wild Samoan, or WWE legend Afa may serve as the group’s historical fulcrum. Their advanced age and potential aversion to travel, however, could be major obstacles.
The Significance of Wisdom
One of the most complex and important roles in WWE is that of the Wiseman. More than merely overseeing a roster of wrestlers, it involves crafting a story that draws viewers in every week. Although intriguing, Rikishi’s possible involvement appears doubtful given his reasonable desire to put his personal life ahead of the demanding WWE schedule.
WWE has an enormous task in this situation. They require a replacement for Heyman in order to keep The Bloodline plot moving forward. This person needs to be charismatic, knowledgeable about wrestling, and readily available.
The Bloodline’s Upcoming Path: Immediate Difficulties
The Bloodline’s current task is to continue being dominant in the absence of a prominent figurehead. The relative lack of leadership experience of Solo Sikoa may provide a challenge. The key to the group’s success is to find a replacement for Paul Heyman’s strategic oversight.
Extended Prospects
Long-term, The Bloodline might profit from a plot in which they struggle without a Wiseman until a legendary figure like The Rock returns to save them. This might make for exciting television and raise interest in a big pay-per-view event.
The Bloodline’s Future
The Bloodline faces a decision. The group needs a new Wiseman to lead them over the harsh waters of WWE since Paul Heyman is no longer there. Rikishi’s participation would provide a distinctive dynamic, but this is an improbable answer given his aversion to travel. WWE has to find a replacement for Heyman who can bring the same gravitas and strategic thinking to the position. It’s unclear who will come up—a current roster member or a returning legend—but one thing is for sure: The Bloodline’s plot is far from finished.
