WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi was one of the top stars of WWE during his time and he is also a former WWE Intercontinental Champion. He had been presented as a main event star at a point during the Attitude Era as he regularly challenged for the World Championship, but he could never win it.
He is presently retired from professional wrestling and he did not work regularly in WWE since 2004, but he left a legacy behind him in the promotion. Presently three of his sons actively wrestling in WWE and all of them are top stars. Solo Sikoa and the famous twin brothers of WWE The Usos are all his sons.
Rikishi Reflects on His Other Son Potentially Joining Professional Wrestling
But there are more sons of the WWE Hall of Famer who did not get into the professional wrestling business. Recently he was asked about his youngest son Samson Fatu and the question was about Samson Fatu potentially becoming a professional wrestler. He revealed the insider on his “Off The Top” podcast;
“He’s just doing the work. Samson wants to pave his own way. That photo that you’re talking about, we’re actually in a suite, and he’s looking into the ring. He got a chance to look at the crowd reaction. I was telling him, ‘Look at the crowd reaction. You see your brothers come out, looking how the crowd reacts towards them.’

"I was kind of just teaching him what I’ve taught all the students at KnokX Pro, the emotions, the timing of certain things, you see the longevity of inside the ring, of taking bumps when needing to take a bump, when not to take a bump, to be able to engage with fans.”
The Usos and Solo Sikoa are sons of Rikishi
“He always knew that here, but being live, watching it live, he had a lot more questions, I’ll tell you that. I said, ‘Listen, this will always be here. Let’s focus on your football, your college, and moving forward on your education number one.’ For all of us, be it football or wrestling, there is life after athletics, after your sports.” concluded Rikishi
Among his sons, Jey Uso seems to be having the brightest future in WWE right now as he is being built as a potential main event star for the future. Solo Sikoa, the youngest one is also doing pretty well and he is scheduled to face Roman Reigns in a Tribal Combat match at Netflix RAW premier. Jimmy Uso also has the potential to become a top mid card star soon in the future.
