It’s a great honor to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and a few years ago Rikishi was inducted as part of the 2015 class. The Hall of Famer has made a few sporadic appearances on WWE programming since then, but he has mostly been off TV.
Fans don’t get to see Rikishi too often nowadays, but a recent photo of the former Intercontinental Champion got people talking. Trinity Fatu shared a photo of Rikishi showing that he is now completely bald with no facial hair.

Over the last few years Rikishi has teased possible involvement with The Bloodline storyline on social media. However, WWE has yet to bring him in as part of the storyline.
With Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso now seemingly at odds it’s been rumored that Rikishi could be getting involved. An advertisement for the NinjaxChange Collectible Expo claimed that Rikishi will be working a special guest referee at Payback, but shortly after the post was shared Rikishi claimed that it was an error. Some fans think that Rikishi’s WWE return was spoiled thanks to the advertisement, so we’ll just have to wait and see where things go from here.
