WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi took to his Off The Top podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including who should face Roman Reigns next between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa.

Rikishi said, โ€œI think he can go either way. It just depends on, you know, which way that โ€” I guess it depends which way the GOAT [Reigns] feels. Either way, whether he goes with Jacob, thatโ€™ll be good; whether he goes with Solo, we all know thatโ€™s going to be good, but I feel that Jacob has momentum right now. Solo is a made guy already, and so with Jacob, he has momentum, but if we throw him right now to Roman I feel weโ€™re rushing him. I feel that Jacob should just terrorize, do regular TV matches with different talent, just because Jacob has yet to show his wrestling ability [to the WWE audience].โ€

On how WWE should handle Jacob Fatu:

โ€œI feel we need to, you know, really brand him. Heโ€™s branded, he does โ€ฆ he did his branding on the independent. We need to put him on TV matches, give him like three, four minutes, you know, letโ€™s spice up. I think they can do better with, as far as his intro. We need something exactly what the Bloodline is: dramatic.โ€
