During WWE’s Attitude Era, The Rock’s humor was a fan favorite, and many see similar charm in Solo Sikoa, who has been showing a lighter, comedic side on SmackDown. Although Sikoa isn’t part of this year’s main event, fans believe this has allowed him to reveal his authentic personality.
Solo Sikoa, the leader of MFT this year, has impressed as a solo competitor, suggesting he could be one of WWE’s future stars. He made an impact during the "Last Time Is Now" tournament and had a notable match with Gunter, who famously retired John Cena. At 32, Sikoa has a significant victory against Cena from Crown Jewel 2023, during his time as the enforcer for The Bloodline while remaining a quiet presence in the faction’s rise.
This year, Sikoa’s new, relatable persona has won over fans, highlighting his comedic side. One fan on X praised him as “the most entertaining wrestler in WWE today” when he can express his true self. Another fan compared Sikoa’s charm to The Rock, noting he always brings laughs. Some believe Sikoa should break away from factions and tag teams to pursue a solo career, potentially on Monday Night RAW, where he could truly shine. Others see him as a versatile talent capable of playing a serious heel, a comedic heel, or a babyface, making him a key figure for WWE’s future alongside stars like Bron Breaker and Oba Femi.
Sikoa was brought to WWE’s main roster during the Bloodline storyline at Clash at the Castle in 2022 and has since competed in major events, including a WWE Championship challenge at SummerSlam 2024. Known previously as the "New Tribal Chief," he is a former United States Champion and could rise as a prominent star as WWE moves into a post-Cena era. A potential face turn might deepen his connection with the audience.
Roman Reigns has acknowledged Sikoa’s growth, comparing their early struggles to break out of their shells, emphasizing the importance of entertainment skills in their family. Reigns humorously noted how far Sikoa has come since his early days of singing with a broom in the kitchen, now excelling as a performer.
Sikoa entertained fans with his antics at live events, often going viral for his humor and dancing. After Reigns beat him on RAW in January, ending their Bloodline storyline, Sikoa returned to SmackDown’s main event scene and formed the MFT stable, currently feuding with Wyatt Sixx.
Fan Take: Solo Sikoa’s evolution from a silent enforcer to a charismatic, multi-dimensional performer is exciting for WWE fans eager for fresh, dynamic stars. His potential breakout as a solo act could signal a new era of entertainment, blending athleticism with personality that keeps audiences captivated.
