Solo Sikoa faced a significant setback at Survivor Series when he lost to Roman Reigns, but he is adamant about regaining the top spot on WWE SmackDown. Interestingly, another family member might prevent him from doing so.
Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns have been feuding against each other since the latter returned at SummerSlam. At Survivor Series, the New Bloodline and Bronson Reed faced the OG Bloodline and CM Punk, with The Original Tribal Chief's team taking the victory.
Sikoa is looking to reassert his control of WWE SmackDown, but failed to do so when the group faced off with Shinsuke Nakamura last week. Interestingly, another person who may be planning to go against the heel group is Zilla Fatu.
Zilla Fatu is Umaga's son who is currently on the independent scene and mainly appears on Reality of Wrestling and Game Changer Wrestling. Interestingly, he might get involved in The Bloodline saga soon after calling out Solo Sikoa during a recent GLCW Blizzard Brawl. The 25-year-old shouted "Yo Solo, where you at?" before doing the famous Jey Uso Yeet taunt.
While it might be interesting to see Zilla join WWE and the group's saga, it might be too early for him to do so.
The company may want him to grow and learn more on the independent scene before officially bringing him in. Also, the sports entertainment giant still has a lot to explore between the current members of the New and OG Bloodline before any new members are brought into the fold.
Why did Zilla Fatu choose Roman Reigns' Bloodline instead of Solo Sikoa's?
Although Zilla and Jacob Fatu used to team up on the independent scene before the latter joined the Stamford-based promotion, Zilla is firm on joining Roman Reigns' side.
In a recent interview with the Busted Open Podcast, Zilla Fatu shared that he was Team OTC. The former stated that Jacob has been acting crazy since signing with the Stamford-based promotion.
Zilla added that he has been feuding with Solo since he was eight and didn't like how Sikoa took Umaga's finisher.
"Everybody knows me and Jacob teamed up on the indies before he got signed. Ever since Jacob got signed, he’s been acting crazy. That’s not the Jacob I know. He’s been acting crazy. Then you have Solo, I’ve been beefing with him since I was eight years old. I gave him his first Rock Bottom in the pool at his dad’s house. For him to take my dad’s move, I don’t like that. I’m gonna go with the OTC. I’m gonna help Roman Reigns. Whatever he needs, I’m there.” [H/T PW Mania]
It will be interesting to see what will happen next with Solo Sikoa on WWE SmackDown.
