Wrestlers may appear ruthless in their on-screen portrayals but they enjoy camaraderie with their peers. And when there is a significant age gap, there is bound to be a sense of mutual respect for the veterans. That was the case when a 30-year-old superstar did not care about his heel character to honor Rey Mysterio.
The Bloodline and Judgement Day agreed to a deal that would see both groups solve each other’s issues. Mysterio, who has regularly been a target of his son, would go against Solo Sikoa. The latter would go on to emerge victorious in the clash. However a heartfelt thank you by him toward the WWE Hall of Famer was caught on camera and won many hearts.

Some wholesome stuff right here

Amazing scenes. To think that Solo has been such an important addition to WWE and one of the best stories while only being in the company for less than a year is outstanding. He's really, really special. https://t.co/dwEt4xU0Qo

Hoping for a split in The Bloodline.
I hope he will turn against Reigns soon and will get a big Main Guy push after it.

Ever since his main roster debut during last September’s Clash at The Castle PLE Sikoa has impressed one and all with his in-ring skills.
On this occasion, he wooed them with his respect for a certified legend of the industry. The Usos’ brother seemingly has all the qualities that are required to succeed at the top level.
Why Solo Sikoa could be a future top-draw star?
He is pretty agile in the squared circle and has been booked quite cleanly till now. The 249-pound performer has largely been protected from directly getting pinned in single competitions barring one time. When Cody Rhodes prevailed over him during his quest to achieve his dream at WrestleMania 39.
Sikoa definitely appears to be a future star for the WWE if he keeps operating at the level he has until now. Moreover, it’s hard to imagine that he has not even completed a year into his rookie year. It won’t be a surprise if The Bloodline’s Enforcer ends the year with gold around his waist.
The sports entertainment business can be quite taxing for many, but it’s essential to maintain the human touch. That’s what Solo Sikoa did with his thank you to the legendary Rey Mysterio after their intense matchup. It’s the sort of humility that is only found in stars and seems like WWE might have found their future main-eventer.
