For those waiting for Solo Sikoa to get a breakout moment, you got one on Monday night.

Sikoa has served as the Bloodline's silent enforcer since his debut at Clash at the Castle this summer, getting a couple of moments in the sun, but mostly playing the heavy in a top-tier stable.

Monday night, he hung back after Kevin Owens chased the Usos and Sami Zayn off with a chair, only to assault an already-injured Matt Riddle. The attack continued, with Solo hitting a Samoan Spike and then wrapping a chair around Riddle's neck and hitting a running hip attack in the corner. Fans rained down boos on Sikoa, which indicates that the mugging worked well.

Considering Riddle was stretchered out of the arena, you've got to believe this means he will sidelined for a bit, giving Sikoa a rival to face when he's healthy.

Sikoa has shown a lot of poise for being new to the main roster and being thrust into the biggest stable in the company. But then again, considering his *ahem* blood, it's no surprise that he's excelled.
