5 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Oct 7)

Ups...

5. Solo Sikoa’s Momentum Builds

Few workers on this planet are capable of filling this role better than Ricochet. The flyer is able to make himself look good whilst still putting opponents over and making them look like a million bucks. That's exactly what Rico did with Solo Sikoa on this week's show.

Whilst it would be nice to see a Triple H-led WWE do more with Ricochet, few can any complaints about Sikoa getting to look so good this early into his main roster run. Creative are doing a fine job of establishing him as an ultra-aggressive weapon deployed by The Bloodline, and it's getting better by the week.

This was a fine win for Solo.

Side note: Thank God Ricochet is alright after that scary-looking bump onto the ring apron. Seeing him smack the back of his head against the ring's edge didn't sit well, but it was clearly accidental and not one of those silly 'I'm really tough' bumps wrestlers sometimes take.
