Wrestling icon Rikishi voiced his reaction on social media surrounding The Bloodline’s savage attack on Paul Heyman, which unfolded at Madison Square Garden on an episode of WWE SmackDown.
Paul Heyman was on the receiving end of a Samoan Spike after he denied recognizing Solo Sikoa as his Tribal Chief. The shocking act was followed by Jacob Fatu showing no mercy, as he landed a powerful splash on the wrestling legend. Fatu then continued the onslaught, subjecting Heyman to an unforgiving Triple Powerbomb through the commentators’ table. The evening concluded with Heyman being carted away on a stretcher from Madison Square Garden.
Rikishi shared his thoughts on Twitter, emphatically posting, “IT’S DONE!”
ITS DONE !
