Backstage Update On Solo Sikoa's WWE Roster Status
Latest on WWE's new Bloodline man following Clash At The Castle debut.
Solo Sikoa has unsurprisingly been assigned to WWE's SmackDown roster following his main roster debut at Clash At The Castle, reports PWInsider's Mike Johnson.
An impactful but divisive main roster debut saw Sikoa help cousin Roman Reigns to a successful Undisputed WWE Universal Championship victory over Drew McIntyre at the 3 September premium live event. A hoodie-clad Solo pulled the referee out of the ring as McIntyre was about to win following a Claymore, revealing his identity moments later. With Charles Robinson down, Sikoa hung Drew on the top rope, allowing Reigns to blast his challenger with a spear and score the pinfall.
Now, it looks like Solo will be working alongside his real-life brothers, Jimmy and Jey Uso, with Roman on SmackDown.
Fightful Select reported in July that Sikoa had at least been discussed for a potential main roster call-up.
Sikoa has been with WWE since being announced as part of a Performance Center intake in August 2021. Debuting on television shortly after, he quickly became an NXT 2.0 fixture, standing out as one of the more complete wrestlers on the developmental roster. He hasn't wrestled for NXT 2.0 since defeating Von Wagner in a 2 August grudge match, however, with WWE claiming that he was injured shortly afterwards.
