Solo Sikoa has gone through an impressive change in WWE, moving from a quiet background figure to a key player on the roster. Initially part of The Bloodline, he supported Roman Reigns as the silent enforcer. But in the past year, Sikoa has stepped up in a big way, catching the attention of wrestling legends like Paul Heyman. In an interview before WrestleMania 41, Heyman praised Sikoa by calling him the “most improved WWE superstar” of the past year and possibly the most improved ever in such a short time.
Solo Sikoa: From Silent Enforcer to Strong Speaker
One of the biggest changes for Solo Sikoa has been his ability to speak in front of the massive crowd. He was known for being silent when he first appeared in WWE, but now he can hold his own in interviews and promos with anyone. Heyman pointed out that Sikoa can now go toe to toe with big names like himself and “The Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns. “He went from being a stoic mute to being someone who can carry his end of the microphone against anybody… including me, including Roman Reigns,” Heyman said. This new skill has shown that Solo Sikoa is much more than just a physical presence in the ring.
Sikoa’s Consistent Performances
Besides his speaking ability, Solo Sikoa has also been great in the ring. Over the past year, he hasn’t had a bad match and has performed at a high level every time. Heyman also mentioned that Sikoa has helped carry WWE SmackDown, even when Heyman was not around. “He carried SmackDown from an antagonist position… even after I was gone,” Heyman said, emphasizing how important Sikoa has become to the show.
Sikoa started his WWE career mainly as a supporting member of The Bloodline, following Reigns’ orders and helping the group dominate. But over the past year, he has grown significantly. Heyman, who has managed some of WWE’s biggest stars, expressed how proud he was of Sikoa’s progress. “I would dare say that if you look back a few years from now at the year that he had and carrying that side of SmackDown, that it wasn’t only the most improved performer of the past year, that he is perhaps, in a one year span, the most improved performer ever,” said Heyman, showing how far Sikoa has come.
Solo Sikoa’s future remains bright while other stars like Jacob Fatu are yet to rise in WWE. Seeing Sikoa’s growth and consistency over the past year, there’s no doubt he will continue to be a major part of WWE for years. His journey from a silent enforcer to a key WWE superstar shows how much talent and potential he has.
