When it comes to The Bloodline, we know Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, Jimmy, and Jey Uso really well. However, one member of the Anoa’i family that we never got a chance to know is Solo Sikoa. So, what is the story behind the muscle of The Bloodline, and will he ever get his own solo storyline?
Sikoa is the younger brother to The Usos and the son of WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi. He is also the cousin of Reigns, but how is he as a solo performer?

Joseph Yokozuna Fatu, also known as Solo Sikoa in the WWE, made his NXT debut in November 2021. After a successful run, including a feud with Boa, he received his call-up to the main roster at Clash at the Castle in September 2022.
Since he became the muscle for The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns, WWE has hinted at him taking over the role someday. Even during an episode of SmackDown in July 2023, Sikoa hesitated when choosing between a Garland and the Ula Fala of The Tribal Chief. This hinted at his desire to become a leader someday.
As the enforcer of The Bloodline, Sikoa has yet to receive the credit he deserves for the role. While Reigns and The Usos gained massive popularity and mic time, the stoic Sikoa has always been on the sidelines.

However, with the brute force of the Samoans, he’s a fan favorite. Fans have speculated that Sikoa turning on Reigns could be the downfall of The Bloodline and the rise of a new star. And it seems more likely to happen considering how the faction has fractured so far.
WWE’s hopes for Sikoa have been big
Since Sikoa joined the WWE, plans for him have been massive. Triple H wanted to book him as the next Umaga but canceled as the late wrestler’s real-life son, Zilla Fatu, wanted to join the WWE. As a member of one of the most recognized stables in the WWE, the creative team still has plans for the young star.

With Jimmy and Sikoa the only ones by Reigns’ side, The Bloodline looks to be reaching its end. Now, with Reigns out of the picture, the chances of tension between the two are much higher. With their upcoming match at Fastlane against John Cena and LA Knight, fans are hoping to see either the destructive side of Sikoa or the developing storyline of a solo star.
