The Samoans have been ruling the pro wrestling industry for a long time. A lot of them have also been introduced to WWE. Because of the vast size of the Anoa’i family, it can be hard to keep track of which wrestlers are closely related. So, today we shall take a brief look at the personal life of Solo Sikoa.
A mere glance at Sikoa’s gimmick can tell you that he is part of the Anoa’i family of the pro wrestling world. But an interesting question arises when fans wonder who his close family members are. Although Jimmy and Jey Uso are two names on the top of our minds, his family consists of more than just these two.

Joseph Yokozuna Fatu was born on March 18, 1993, later to be named as ‘Solo Sikoa’ for his in-ring performances. Sikoa is also the youngest sibling in the house. First and foremost, Rikishi and his wife Talisua Fuavai-Fatu welcomed Thavana Monalisa Fatu on 29th June 1983. Thavana is the only daughter in the household and also the eldest child of Rikishi.
Two years later, Sikoa’s older brothers, Jonathan Solofa Fatu (Jimmy Uso) and Joshua Samuel Fatu (Jey Uso) were born on August 22, 1985. Out of the Uso twins, Jimmy is 9 minutes older. But this is not where the family stopped, as before Sikoa, the couple birthed another son on 30th August 1986. He was none other than Jeremiah Peniata Fatu, whose in-ring name is Thamiko T. Fatu.
Apart from these close blood relations, Sikoa also has Umaga and Sam Fatu. Everyone out of the listed names opted for wrestling as their career, except Sikoa’s mother and elder sister. In fact, the style of the family is so familiar that John Cena recently confessed on WWE’s The Bump that Sikoa reminds him of his late uncle Umaga.
Hopefully, learning about Sikoa’s side of the family was easier for you. However, time and again fans forget the entangled relationships between the Samoan families and end up fascinating themselves with how vastly spread their connection is.
