Solo Sikoa’s career timeline
Solo Sikoa kick-started his wrestling career at the age of 25 in 2018 and competed in the independent circuit for three years under the ring name Sefa Fatu. 2021 saw Sikoa taking a big step in his professional life as he signed a contract with WWE. The wrestler locked horns with the Indian wrestler Jeet Rama in his debut WWE game and scored an easy win. Sikoa's journey in the development zone was short as he quickly impressed everyone with his skills and ruled the NXT.
After Rama, Sikoa hammered Grayson Waller and L.A. Knight in a three-way match and followed it up with victories against Santos Escobar, Andre Chase, and Ru Fenf. The professional wrestler was handed his first defeat by Gunther during the 11th edition of the NXT 2.0 while he also failed to win the North American Championship against Cameron Grimes. Despite making multiple attempts to win against Grimes, Sikoa failed to gain success and ended up injuring himself a few months later.
However, Solo soon made a comeback and shocked everyone during the Clash at the Castle event in 2022. Drew McIntyre was all set to win the WWE Universal Championship against Roman Reigns during the much-hyped clash but Sikoa interrupted at the end moment and helped his cousin defend the title. The heroic act by the wrestler resulted in him getting included in The Bloodline and becoming a member of the same faction as his brothers Jey and Jimmy Uso.
His debut in the main roaster came in September 2022 as he fought against Drew McIntyre. However, it was not a good start for the wrestler as he ended up losing the game. A few days later, Sikoa made his comeback to the NXT as he defeated Hayes to win the North American Champion title. The victory, however, was short-lived as the game was not sanctioned, and thus Solo had to give up his title.
Meanwhile, the California-born continued his domination in the main roaster alongside The Bloodline as he defeated the likes of Sheamus, The Brawling Brutes, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and Matt Riddle. The Bloodline's impressive winning streak came to a halt during the WWE Night of Champions as Jimmy Uso accidentally attacked Sikao and he and Roman were competing against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. This led to a fight between Jimmy and Reigns and the former left The Bloodline.
Jey Uso sided with his twin brother while Sikoa continued his stint with The Bloodline. The two teams competed against each other at the Money in the Bank 2023 where Jey created history by pinning Reigns. The SummerSlam 2023 again saw a twist as Jimmy changed sides and helped Sikoa and Roman Reigns in defeating Jey Uso. The eldest of the Uso brothers joined the faction again.
One of the main highlights of Sikoa's career was his victory against John Cena at WWE Crown Jewel last year. However, there has been a slump in his form following the event as he has lost all the games.
