WWE seriously discussing moving NXT star to main roster

Another member of the famous Anoa’i Family maybe joining the main roster soon.

Per Fightful Select, there has been ‘serious discussion’ about bringing Solo Sikoa to the main roster. Real name Joseph Fatu, Sikoa is also a cousin of the current Unified world champion Roman Reigns. Back in 2021, he had revealed that WWE had considered pairing him with The Usos before he was sent to NXT:

“I don’t want to be referred to as their brother, their cousin, I want people to recognize me for me. Before I debuted on TV, WWE creative was like ’˜we’ll put you with your brothers’. Then the next meeting was like ’˜let’s see what you can do on your own.’”

There is no word yet on if The Bloodline is part of the plan considered for Solo Sikoa. The faction already holds the Unified world title and Unified tag team championships. There has been some chatter about unifying the IC and US championship. The NXT star could be the person to get this done.

Sikoa made his NXT debut last year. He defeated Jeet Rama in a short match during the November 2nd episode. He has since been a featured star of the brand.
