10 Young WWE Stars With WrestleMania Main Event Potential
1. Solo Sikoa
There is perhaps no greater family, with a longer and more prestigious lineage in professional wrestling history, than the Anoa’i Family. With a family tree that stretches back generations and boasts an array of former (and current) WWE World Champions and Hall Of Famers, the Samoan dynasty is rich with history.
At NXT Halloween Havoc, that dynasty got even stronger, as 28-year old Solo Sikoa debuted and made an outrageous splash. As the son of Rikishi, brother of current SmackDown Tag Champs The Usos, and cousin of company golden boy Universal Champ Roman Reigns, Solo brings with him a potential that is limitless.
The greatest advantage Solo has at his disposal right now, is not his immense power and physicality, not to mention an intimidating frame. Rather, the position and backstage sway his bloodline holds, is Solo’s biggest trump card, as it would not take much for him to jump the shark from NXT to SmackDown and join his family in The Bloodline group.
He would join the company’s headline act, earn invaluable spotlight television time, and given every chance to fulfill every inch of his potential. It’s no secret that WWE wishes their attempts to make Rikishi a main event heel heavyweight succeeded, and now they get a second chance with his son.
With Solo Sikoa’s emergence, the WWE and NXT rosters have been put on notice, and it would take a bold pundit to claim Solo cannot main event WrestleMania in the future.
