After last Friday’s SmackDown, John Cena is more pumped than ever to face The Bloodline. The reason being that now he has the added might of LA Knight by his side. Before Knight could sign the contract, Cena was all gung-ho to go solo into the tag team match. But Knight came to Cena’s rescue, thus becoming his Knight in shining armor last Friday. With just two days to go for Fastlane, Cena has also forgiven Solo Sikoa of his wrongdoings.

The Enforcer has been laying waste to anyone who stands up to The Bloodline.

Solo Sikoa made his debut at Clash at the Castle in September 2022. He interfered in the main event match between Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre. Thus helping The Tribal Chief retain his title that night.

This would also set the tone for his main role in The Bloodline. Particularly, as Solo Sikoa was used as the right-hand man to do all the dirty work for The Bloodline. If Roman Reigns or Paul Heyman would order him to attack someone, it would be done.

That’s exactly what happened 2 weeks ago on SmackDown as Sikoa was instructed to annihilate AJ Styles backstage. After that command was executed, Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa brutally attacked Cena in the ring, who came for some payback. In spite of all this animosity, Cena understands Sikoa’s reasons for following his family blindly.

Last evening, while appearing on WWE’s The Bump, Cena made his thoughts clear about The Enforcer. He said, “Man, you talking to the guy who has hustle, loyalty, respect branded on everything he puts out there? I never fault loyalty, I do fault blind loyalty and Solo is really new to the game and I don’t blame him for trying to take a sec to figure out the landscape”.

Thus forgiving Sikoa in the process. But that said, Cena won’t show any mercy to Sikoa at Fastlane. In addition to forgiving Sikoa, Cena even went on to compare him to one of his uncles, a wrestling icon.

Solo Sikoa reminds John Cena of his Umaga

Hardcore WWE fans from the early 2000s will know that there was one wrestler who terrorized everyone in the locker room. We are talking about the ‘Samoan Bulldozer’ Umaga who was a wrestling legend in his time.

Sadly he passed away in 2009 due to a heart attack. But during his time with the WWE, he wrestled many times with John Cena. Hence, when Cena was attacked both times by Sikoa, he was reminded of the brute force of Umaga. The Samoan Spike that Sikoa delivers is reminiscent of The Samoan Bulldozer.
