Solo Sikoa Was Originally To Be Paired With The Uso’s On SmackDown
It looks like there may be a future member of The Bloodline waiting in NXT 2.0.
Since debuting in NXT 2.0, there has been a lot of hype around Solo Sikoa, the brother of The Uso’s. Many have called for Sikoa to be added to The Bloodline.
Speaking to BT Sport, Sikoa revealed that he was nearly paired with his brothers at the start of his career.
“It’s easy to go back to ‘I’m their brother, I’m their family.’ At the end of the day, I don’t want to be referred to their brother or their cousin. I want people to recognize me for me. Before I started and debuted on TV, creative was like, ‘We’ll just put you with your brothers.’ Then the next meeting was, ‘Let’s see what you can do on your own.’ That was fire where it was, Okay, this is my time. This is my time for fans to recognize me instead of ‘you’re Jimmy and Jey’s (brother).’ Before, I had black hair and we all did look alike, but I was bigger, we had different shapes. Nine months later, people know Solo. ‘That’s Solo,'”
“I was like, ‘Okay, that’ll be cool,’ because that’s when they started saying ‘We The Ones’ and were throwing the ones up, but I was like, I don’t know, I still feel I’ll be in their shadows. I need to step out and do me. The world needs to see me. They already seen them and what they can do. It will worked out just fine.”
