Solo Sikoa discussed for main roster callup

[Dale]

WWE NXT Superstar Solo Sikoa may be headed to the main roster soon.

A new report from Fightful Select notes that there have been recent talks about bringing Sikoa to RAW or SmackDown. It was noted that the talks are serious, and have gone on as recent as this week.

There’s no word yet on which brand Sikoa may be headed to, or if he will be affiliated with The Bloodline. Sikoa is the cousin to Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, and the younger brother to Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos. His father is WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi.

There were actually talks in the past about possibly bringing Sikoa straight to the main roster, bypassing NXT altogether, but that didn’t happen.

Sikoa was signed as a part of the August 2021 WWE Performance Center Class, which also included Damon Kemp, Tiffany Stratton, Bodhi Hayward, Malik Blade, and NXT UK Tag Team Champion Brooks Jensen. He briefly worked the indies before joining WWE, and also played college football.​

I'd personally probably wait until they've lost the titles and are in the rebuilding phase to bring him in as a fresh coat of paint. Unless they use him as a heavy to use in the LMS standing match with Brock ​

I like the dude, but unless it's a Bloodline angle, i don't think it'll work well. They could plug him into that angle tonight and it'd work tho, but I think he's still dependent on the family as far as main roster success goes

 

[Dale]

Yeah he absolutely HAS to start out with them at least. If they're planning on not putting him with The Bloodline then I don't see the reason to rush him to the main so soon.
