Solo Sikoa is brainwashed, claims Bloodline member ahead of WWE Crown Jewel

A member of the original Bloodline recently claimed that Solo Sikoa is brainwashed. The bold claim was made by the former Enforcer's real-life brother, Jey Uso.

Sikoa took over The Bloodline's leadership amid Roman Reigns' absence from WWE television following his loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL. The 31-year-old removed Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman from the group and recruited Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu instead.

Solo Sikoa will lead his stable against Roman Reigns and The Usos, who reunited recently. Ahead of the premium live event, the twin brothers spoke to Michael Cole during the kick-off. While talking about his former stablemate, Jey Uso stated that Sikoa was brainwashed. He claimed that the latter always wanted to take over the leadership.

"I think Solo Sikoa [is] brainwashed somewhere along this journey, [Michael] Cole. Solo has been, he's just been quiet, watching and waiting for his perfect time to take over the family. That's what he did. That's what he's done, Cole. And I feel like tomorrow night, it needed the OG Bloodline to come back together. So, we can finally end this story, man," said Jey Uso.
