Ever since debuting on the main roster at Clash at the Castle, Solo Sikoa has been a silent assassin for the Bloodline, serving as their enforcer.

The young superstar has been a difference-maker for the group, but he really hasn’t got a, *ahem* solo standout moment.

That changed Monday night when Sikoa remained ringside after Kevin Owens chased the rest of the Bloodline off with a steel chair. Solo slid into the ring and attacked Matt Riddle, decimating the Original Bro. He wrapped a steel chair around Riddle’s neck and hit a corner hip attack, leading a stretcher job from the former tag champ.

And Sikoa? He soaked in the boos from fans as he walked back up the ramp, having done far more than being the strong and silent type. You would assume this is going to lead to a 1-on-1 match between Solo and Riddle, which could very well steal the show.
