WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT SOLO SIKOA
Yesterday at Night of Champions 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Solo Sikoa defeated Jacob Fatu to become the new United States Champion, amid a chaotic scene that included the appearance of JC Mateo, the return of Tonga Loa and the impactful debut of Hikuleo. Solo landed a decisive Samoan Spike and reaffirmed his leadership of the new Bloodline formation.
But Solo Sikoa is not just winning titles: he is rebuilding a legacy. Over the past few years, he has become the connecting point for an entire generation of Samoan wrestlers, serving as the gateway for names like Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, JC Mateo, Hikuleo and Jacob Fatu himself. From his key interferences in Roman Reigns' victories at WrestleMania 39 and 40, to the Ula Fala necklace dispute in WWE's Netflix debut, Solo has shown that his influence goes beyond the ring, opening doors and strengthening family ties that have transformed Bloodline into a nearly unbeatable force.
The victory at Night of Champions only reinforces how much Solo Sikoa has been consolidating his authority and prominence within WWE. More than just carrying the United States belt, he carries the responsibility of leading Bloodline into a new era, surrounded by powerful talent that he himself helped assemble. The return of Tonga Loa, the debut of Hikuleo and the presence of JC Mateo make it clear that Solo is expanding his influence and assembling a true Samoan army, ready to dominate any division and challenge whoever stands in his way.
Solo Sikoa's importance to Bloodline has been evident since WrestleMania 39, when he applied a Samoan Spike to Cody Rhodes, in addition to fighting alongside Roman Reigns in the first Bloodline Civil War, where they faced The Usos. Later, Solo assumed leadership of his own group in the second Civil War, showing his strength and authority amidst family tensions. His decisive participation in the WarGames battle alongside Bloodline only reinforced his fundamental role in the faction, keeping it united and dominant despite the divisions. But how long will this Bloodline storyline last? Will the family tree live on forever in the WWE rings? And as for Solo Sikoa could he become a babyface in the future?
