Wrestling veteran Matt Morgan has claimed that Solo Sikoa keeps staring at Paul Heyman during promos because he "cannot talk."

Sikoa has stepped up and seemingly took charge of The Bloodline since Roman Reigns lost his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL and went on hiatus. While he remained mostly silent since he joined the main roster two years ago, The Enforcer has done much talking in in-ring promos and backstage segments on SmackDown over the past three weeks.

On his Gigantic Pop podcast, Morgan criticized Sikoa's promo skills, stating that he believes The Enforcer is not ready to become the new Tribal Chief. The wrestling veteran claimed the former NXT North American Champion keeps looking at Heyman because he "cannot talk."

"He's [Solo Sikoa] still not there. He's still doing like the A²+B²=C² Pythagorean theorem type of f***ing pro wrestling promo still. He's still not there. This [the thumb] does not work; I'm sorry! This is not enough for me. This [stare back] every five minutes to Paul Heyman doesn't get it done for me. That doesn't tell me, 'Oh, Matt, he's being mysterious!' No, it's because he can't talk. He's not there yet," he said. [29:07 - 29:29]

Other WWE stars are more fit for Tribal Chief status than Solo Sikoa, thinks Matt Morgan

While Matt Morgan thinks Solo Sikoa is improving, he is convinced the 31-year-old is still not on the level that would allow him to succeed Roman Reigns as the new leader of The Bloodline.

Meanwhile, the TNA legend claimed either Jimmy or Jey Uso would have fit that role since they have better promo skills than their younger brother:

"Either of the two Usos could've done it. And The Ones are face now, but because promo-wise they're better than him, no offense to Solo. He's not there yet. He's getting there. His facial is getting pretty good. Fans [are] chanting at him," he said.

While Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Paul Heyman were drafted to SmackDown last night, Jey Uso will remain on Monday Night RAW. It would be interesting to see if they will later cross paths.
