What Went Down When Solo Sikoa Was Delivered To Roman Reigns On WWE Raw (WWE News)

Did Solo Sikoa rejoin The Bloodline?

With last week's Raw seeing Solo Sikoa lose to Jey Uso in a match where, should Solo lose, he'd be presented to Roman Reigns the following week, it was that presentation that closed out last night's Raw show.

Of course, this comes at a time when Solo Sikoa has been getting major reactions as he's been allowed to show some personality and charisma, and so last week left fans wondering if this was the end of this far more entertaining Solo Dolo character, and whether this meant WWE would have Sikoa simply fall back in line as part of the Bloodline.

As for what went down last night, Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu came out to the ring to kick off the main event segment, which was followed by the Usos bringing out Solo Sikoa. Roman played down the Buffalo crowd's strong reaction to Solo, said Solo made him sick, played a video package of Solo's time with the Bloodline over the years, and then broke Solo's sunglasses.

Once the OTC told Sikoa to get on his knees and beg, that led to Jacob Fatu superkicking Solo and latching on the Tongan Death Grip until Roman told Fatu to stop. Reigns then gave the Usos black ula falas as a marker of them being made men and his captains, which Jacob looked annoyed at.

At this point, LA Knight came out to the ring. After the Megastar had thrown the Usos to the outside, Jacob Fatu went after LA, only to be stopped by Roman Reigns, again much to the annoyance of Jacob. Roman hit Knight with his Superman Punch and put a beating on him, all as boos rained down from the crowd. Reigns then demanded Solo Sikoa hit LA Knight with the Samoan Spike. After apologising to LA, Solo eventually hit the Samoan Spike... but did so on Roman Reigns, to a huge reaction from the fans in attendance.

From there, Solo Sikoa dumped Jey Uso to the outside, LA Knight hit the BFT on Jimmy Uso, Solo then hit the Samoan Spike on Jey, and LA and Jacob Fatu had a face-off. When Roman Reigns reentered the picture and went for the Superman Punch on Knight, that was reversed into the BFT on Roman, as Fatu watched on and did nothing.

To close out the show, it was Solo Sikoa and LA Knight standing tall, leaving the ring together, as Jacob Fatu continued to watch on from the corner of the ring.

And so, thankfully, it clearly looks like we won't be getting Solo merely falling back in line and reverting to formulaic Bloodline business, plus there's the added wrinkle of Jacob Fatu's role in all of this. On top of that, LA Knight, much like Sikoa, received a monstrous reaction from the Buffalo fans, particularly after hitting the BFT on Roman Reigns.
