Solo Sikoa was worried that WWE chiefs might change his name to "Uso" when they called him up from NXT to SmackDown as part of The Bloodline.

The Bloodline newbie told GiveMeSport that this thought was "messing" with him before he debuted as a permanent new member of the Roman Reigns-led stable. Sikoa had worked hard to establish himself as a standalone character on NXT, and it didn't sit well with him that he might become Jimmy and Jey's kid brother on the main roster.

So, Solo was relieved when Triple H and other members of company management told him they'd be keeping his NXT ring name - he wouldn't have to become "Solo Uso', or something like that. This was a show of faith in Sikoa, and he appreciated it after paving his own path away from the family on WWE's third brand.

Solo also revealed a hidden worry about being asked to dye his hair black so he'd better fit in with The Usos on SmackDown. That's another thing he wouldn't have been too keen to do. Sikoa fancied keeping the blonde.
