[4.0] "Solo Sikoa excelled as an enforcer for Roman, & early on, he did a great job as a " bastard Bloodline leader, " but shortly after being christened that position, cracks in his game began to show a-plenty. He is bad at mic work to this day & he finds himself in terribly-written matches more often than not. He has lost the dynamism associated with those earlier days many, many moons ago. Jacob Fatu steals his thunder week after week; as always, Reigns brickwalled him in January & rendered him nothing more but " King Loser" to me. " He is a badass to be feared, but his deep dark secret is that he sucks actually" is NOT a good wrestling gimmick. He used to be similar to Umaga in a lot of ways, with the ability to throw babyfaces into car-wreck situations in the blink of an eye. He just kind of lost his way & I fail to see a future where he gains much more for himself. MFT is fucking horrible. I was rooting for him with all my heart; it was clear WWE had a smash hit on their hands. Unfortunately, they found it imperative to smash the opportunity instead. Among the most disappointing things 2025 had brought us."
[3.0] "The most boring and auraless men on the roster, literally nothing about him screams legit or intimidating. He's just a basic heel who isn't a good wrestler or good at promos. I will admit he's unintentionally funny, so I'll give that"
[6.0] "Oddly comedic. He's really funny most of the time when he's off camera. His original heel turn was fantastic, but recently it hasn't been too good. He puts on decent performances, but nothing that screams "main event worthy"."
[6.0] "I've noticed a common pattern. His best matches have been with Sami Zayn, Gunther, and Cody Rhodes. All those matches for the most part had ZERO interference which shows you that Solo actually has good potential. I won't give him higher than a 6 since I can't give him like an 8 for the work he has done but that can easily change."
[8.0] "I love you Solo! Compared to the fake tribal chief, at least he's got a tribe. He's a big guy, has big moves, super serious when it's time to fight, very funny when it's time to be funny. As the leader of MFT, he's kinda cool but that ain't going nowhere, wish he was booked to fight more often, as I like his fighting a lot. I absolutely love his finisher. Wish him a long career."
[4.0] "Genuinely one of the most boring wrestlers I can remember. His matches are almost entirely forgettable and his promos, at least the serious ones, are awful. I do think they could potentially have something if they lean into him being funnier. But the MFT shit is just horrible."
[6.0] "I actually kinda like Solo Sikoa and think that he has a niche that he hasn't settled in yet. Stop making him serious, let him just be a comedy/mid card guy for awhile and rebuild him the heat from the bloodline is gone."
[3.0] "Favoritism/nepotism is what got this guy on the main roster so quickly. The forced attempts to make him a big star are eerily similar to Roman's early singles career. That isn't to say he has no talent, but under normal circumstances he would be firmly in the mid card with an occasional title match. He can't really cut a promo, even now with his new persona as the de facto leader of the Bloodline. He's simply not good enough at any aspect of wrestling that justifies his position in the company. Very few fans are underestimating anything about this guy."
[8.0] "I feel like solo sikoa is slept on by many fans. His promo work is very entertaining when hes allowed to be himself and he has tried to make the best out of the stop start booking of the MFTs. His run in NXT showed great potential of how he can be when not weighed down by the Bloodline stuff."
[8.0] "This guy is way better than a lot give him credit for. He is comfortably the best brother from his family and has the charisma, ring skills, mic skills and personality that Jey and Jimmy desperately lack. He played a huge part in getting Jacob Fatu over. To think this guy gets "You can't wrestle" chants when you have to cross your fingers that his kin even make it over/through the ropes when they perform a dive or take 3 business days to climb the turnbuckle - it's ciminal."
[7.0] "Solo has so much potential. Its crazy. He's so much better than his two brothers. He has the aura, the mic skills, the physique, and the move set to be in the upper-mid card / main event and yet the bookers never understood his potential and treated him around like a hotch-potch mid-card act getting buried every so often that his whole character lost value. From the past month, I'm seeing lots of improvements; he's looking much stronger and more serious, the fans are treating him much better as well."
[10.0] "I think solo sikoa is awesome, him and the usos are some of my favorite modern wrestlers. I think the samoan spike always makes me chuckle, its a funny move. He also is a funny guy. You can see that in his promos, I dont dig the suit, I like the towel on the head silent solo the best. Good times watching him wrestle"
[3.0] "I've never understood the hype around Solo. Even in NXT, he was incredibly uninteresting. He debuted on the main roster purely to be Reigns' sidekick and help him out of difficult moments in their matches. Since the breakup of the Bloodline, nothing interesting has happened with him. If it weren't for his Samoan family, he would have long been sent back to NXT or released."
"It seems that Solo and the MFT's fit better into comedy heel territory, and in that role they're enjoyable to watch. They should always be plotting some kind of dastardly deed that gets foiled by the babyface in comedic fashion. Solo in particular is just a terrific performer in this regard. He has great timing, everything he does is funny, and you need that on most shows otherwise it gets too overdramatic/boring."
[1.0] "Probably, Solo Sikoa can be praised for some decent attempts at artistry. That earns him 1 point. But seriously, if this wrestler hadn't been in WWE, would the company have lost anything? His first appearance at Clash Of The Castle was the worst I've ever seen from a debut. People talked about his progress in 2024, but when he took the US Title this year, the crowd's eyes rolled back, and even due to such mistakes, WWE just made me want to turn off the TV, just like in 2022-2023. Right now, the community is hating on Jey Uso, but as much as I disliked Jey Uso, at least back in 2017, he knew how to work in tag matches. Solo Sikoa can't do anything. His ring skills are at Jinder Mahal level. He hasn't made any progress, and I don't want to see him in any programs because shows where he's a main part become low-quality. To me, he's associated with WWE's weakest era -- the Triple H Era -- where rookies are Gunther, Bron Breakker, Dominik Mysterio, Jey Uso, LA Knight. Either they're green as hell, or they're wrestlers unable to sell their character in the ring."
[3.0] "It was hilarious to me when Triple H said "I don't see color, I just see talent" when at the same time he was booking solo sikoa in the main events of shows. Because solo is not super talented by a long shot. Painfully boring in ring as it feels like he's just adopts moves of previous Samoan wrestlers like umaga but in the worst possible way. Not to mention being very mid on the mic as well to the point where It makes sense why they decided to make him basically a mute for majority of his time on the main roster. WWE has effectively failed at making him a big star and the final straw was when they had him beat Cena and it still didn't do anything for him and was just a dud overall. He gets a couple points for having a few funny moments and his nxt turn run was ok and in hindsight he honestly probably should have stayed there for a little while longer. In conclusion Solo is someone who if not for being Samoan would effectively be a low to mid card funny wrestler and would probably have done an alright job at it."
[4.0] "An improved but still a mediocre wrestler, but sometimes he is funny and iconic tbh. Last year when him being pushed to main event isn't working due to not being built for it. This year then his MFT faction is really terrible, he is not a good leader to be taken seriously."
[0.0] "Nothing in the ring, nothing on the mic, not funny, not talented. He is literally a nobody who's taking another talent's place with his 'gang.' Very overpushed, and it's not even a big push -- which tells you a lot about this guy. You make a below-average wrestler a champion, give him time and a big story, and you leave guys like Ciampa, Gargano, and Carmelo Hayes on the low card. That makes me furious, and this company doesn't know what they're doing anymore. By the way, the Anoa'i family has like 2-3 good wrestlers, but people talk about them like they're some kind of miracle. I'm being generous by giving this a 0 unfortunately, there's no lower score."
[4.0] "Solo was good enough as the silent menacing enforcer for the Bloodline. Trying to make him a main eventer, when he doesn't have the charisma or in ring skills to do it, just isn't gonna pan out. I struggle to come up with a memorable performance from him."
[6.0] "Major improvements in the last 2 years, not necessarily in terms of wrestling ability but definitely carved out his own character and can be genuinely funny at times. He recently introduced Tala Tonga (lmao) to the Bloodline negative-2.0, and I'm starting to believe that the Bloodline may just keep on evolving for the rest of eternity. Hopefully the US Title can help him out because beating Cena certainly didn't do too much."
[9.0] "For me Solo is interesting and sometimes funny, he got some charisma I think. In the ring, he performing something like "samoan style with some street things in it". So he is easily understandable. I like watching Solo, he's feuds is never boring imo, when he feuded Roman, had match with Cena, feuded Cody Rhodes and now standing in front of Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu. I don't get why people don't like him that much, but he's good, can perform, can talk and have a good gimmick, he's future champion"
[4.0] "He someone that I actually enjoy sometimes that doesn't mean I like his work or I'm a fan of him at all, but I think he could bring something to the promotion, I think he would be interesting in the early 90s in wwf or ecw, but tbh he's not necessarily will succeed in these promotions but I think he could bring something at least to the fans."
[8.0] "Historically terrible and I will never forgive him for that Cody match at Summerslam, but 2025 Solo Sikoa is a different beast, with personality practically oozing off of him, his expressions, his comedy, his presentation, it feels like it's all finally clicking, and he's playing to his strengths instead of trying to fill the bland bruiser muscle role, which he was exceptionally boring at."
[7.0] "Really seems like Solo's coming into his own in recent weeks & overall seems to be more comfortable. Promo work has been smooth, hes funny yet I dont take him less serious because of it + I enjoy his matches"
[3.0] "No way around it, Solo Sikoa is horrible. He is the worst project WWE has tried to get over in quite some time. His ceiling is a comedy mid card jobber. He can't cut a promo, he's not even that menacing. The nicest thing I can say is that he is funny."
[7.0] "Don't disagree with the most recent review that favouritism got him main roster, however, most Samoans you could argue this for. I think he's grown leaps and bounds and the matches in which he's put people over he's sold perfectly. I think he's got a good future in wwe post the eventual Fatu feud. His recent quirkiness and enjoyment has shone through and you can tell he's grateful to be in this position. Intrigued what 2026 onwards holds for him."
[0.0] "The very accurate definition of a mid wretler, mid at the mic, mid in the ring, mid looking and a enormous lack of charisma. Despite the effort made by HHH and the entire WWE Booking team to try to make this guy some sort of interesting the only thing that they have accomplished is the fact that everyone did not care about him. Morever the fact that they have a better, bigger, more charismatic leader for the new bloodline in Jacob Fatu has done nothing but bad to the character of Solo Sikoa. And, in fact, he looks terrible in the ring. [EDIT] Since the last time I evaluated him he has done nothing but getting worse, starting at wrestlemania where he sat in the Bobby Lashley's Wrestlemania 39 chair following all that "JC Mateo" thing, he is not interesting."
[7.0] "I think Solo is overheated. His main weakness is his in ring skill, he is not bad per se, but he is very bland and boring. However, he can have good matches with the right opponent. As he has shown in recent weeks, he can be quite charismatic on the mic when they really let him speak. His presentation is also very good, his theme and entrance also slap. However, he is being booked pretty trash, losing way too lot and being overshadowed by Jacob Fatu (not Solo's fault, Fatu is just a BEAST). However, I do hope that now that the Bloodline story is over, Solo starts getting more chances once Jacob Fatu eventually breaks away from him. Maybe he wins MITB, who knows?"
[6.0] "I do admit that he's missing some charisma that other members of his family possess. But I also think he's often judged too harshly. I think he's solid in the ring & has offered a good dynamic to the Bloodline story."
[6.0] "gets thrashed way too much but i do get why. i like Solo, i think he has a unique look on the WWE roster and is pretty competent in the ring, though he does need some kind of specific match types to really stand out and thrive. sadly, he's kind of a victim of being overpushed before he was quite ready, people loved Solo in NXT but once he was wrapped up in main roster Bloodline nonsense everyone turned on him because, to be frank, he should have been in NXT for a little bit longer. being thrust into the Bloodline sort of erased his identity to a degree and put him in a place where he didn't need to get better at things like, say, talking. like, he's surrounded by guys like Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman now, so why bother? now he's vaguely leading his own Bloodline faction but Jacob Fatu is there and has completely stolen the show via being one of the best guys in the WWE right now so, yet again, Solo is riding in the background. i hope that he eventually manages to find his own footing but it's hard to see happening right now, and it kind of bums me out because i DO think he could etch something interesting out."
[6.0] "Solo Sikoa is a "fine" professional wrestler. Visually he cuts a good impression. He's that shorter but dense base that makes for a good powerhouse but his matches aren't actually that great. His mic skills are good enough but nothing captivating. To be honest it feels as if Jacob Fatu does everything that they wanted from Solo Sikoa and now he just has to take a back seat. It felt like he was being positioned as the next Roman Reigns but now he's just a background chatacter in the larger Bloodline story"
[5.0] "Solo Sikoa is a curious case of debuting a wrestler in one of the most shocking but statement-making ways possible and then getting exposed when better family members come along to join alongside him. I don't believe Solo is a "terrible" worker, in fact, he's quite serviceable, but compared to the rest of his family, he doesn't really have what it takes to be "The Next Tribal Chief". Compared to Jey Uso, he doesn't have much charisma; Compared to Roman Reigns, he isn't as good on the mic; and compared to ESPECIALLY Jacob Fatu, his in-ring work is rather average. Speaking of Jacob, Jacob has *completely* exposed Solo in every facet possible, so much so that fans have been clamoring for a singles push for Jacob instead of Solo, the man who seemed destined for said singles push. I do believe Solo Sikoa is a great human being and I absolutely respect him for that because the industry needs more personable and likeable people like him, but as a wrestler, I don't see the "hype" whatsoever."
[3.0] "He lacks charisma to express himself both in the ring and in promos. It makes me angry that WWE continues to give him the spotlight to have the opportunity for championships when he is still a long way from having one. On his team, I feel that he is the one who stands out the least since Jacob takes away all the spotlight from him as a leader."
[3.0] "Guy has some real good potential but has not really risen to the call. He can do good work but where he is placed, good is insufficient. Because of this, the people that surround him in many ways make him look worse than he is and as a consequence he suffers. Why care for Solo when he clearly is not as much as a threat as he was when he was Roman's enforcer? Now, whenever he shows up I kind of just want him to go away and let someone more interesting get the TV time and ring time in. But he does have potential and in time, I think he can be great."
[2.0] "Very boring, mildly overrated (by fed fans, of course). I'm usually a fan of the monster brawler or whatever, but outside of rare exceptions like GUNTHER and Brock Lesnar, that style doesn't really work well in a company like WWE. Because, ya' know, they're afraid of violence despite being a wrestling company. (I know, right? Stupid! ) With that being said: Solo Sikoa is probably the most boring wrestler on the entire roster today. His matches have gotten a little better since NXT, as he's being carried by experienced veterans, but his moveset itself ranges from dry to just basic -- and this problem applies to literally every Samoan wrestler ever signed to WWE. I mean, seriously; how am I supposed to buy them as "the greatest wrestling dynasty" when all of them are bad at wrestling? .. But whatever, that's an entirely different discussion. Back to Solo himself, watching one of his promos is probably one of the most painful things you can do to yourself. Take for instance, his promo battle against John Cena for example. Yes, I understand it's Cena so of course he won't outshine him, but he could've at least stood his ground like Punk did! "Oh, but he's gotten better since becoming the 'new' Tribal Chief'! " - No he hasn't. Solo's promos still feel like awkward nothingburgers, especially since, (much like most of WWE's promos) they tend to be repetitive and the material/contents in the promo are always the lamest or most childest insults you can thing of."
[7.0] "Solo is an amazing talent. Works well as the enforcer in the bloodline. Need to see a little more out of him in terms of character but his in ring and mic work have been good so far and with the amount of stars he is working with should improve."
[5.0] "All in all, he's not bad. Despite being way too green to be a main event star, he has certainly been improving. However, plenty of work is still to be done for him to really shine."
[3.0] "His nxt run gets talked about a lot but man his early bloodline enforcer era was crazy good. Not good at all in the ring but if he was used right and maybe had a japan excursion he could lowkey turn out like his unc Umaga. He a solid promo too and got good comedy just needs to find his style in ring"
[7.0] "His main event run is filled with good and bad things. He isn't ready for the main event. More training and some advice would help. I do enjoy his gimmick though. I do believe he should swap places with Jacob Fatu."
[7.0] "Seems to be finding his footing since becoming the quasi tribal chief recently, a main criticism of Solo was his lack of character and charisma on the main roster. Had a poor 2023 where he was used as babyface fodder, or Romans beatable mini boss for the latter half of the year and early 2024 but seems to be developing a captivating character post WM. I did enjoy his work on NXT, and wished that his street champ gimmick would've translated onto the MR. Has improved in several key areas, especially on the mic, ever since he was given some more leeway character-wise."
[5.0] "Seems like WWE put the challenge out for him to step up and be the guy, but he hasn't really grasped it. I don't mean the face of the company or whatever, I just mean an opportunity to take the ball and run with it after Roman was out post WrestleMania. You could look past the first month or so, as it takes people time to grow into the role... but man, he just hasn't done it. To the point where Jacob Fatu has become even more over than him and looks to have taken the spot WWE put out for Solo. I do think he'll get better, there is potential there... probably the wrong time to really challenge him. Needs to grow more in-ring and character wise. Hopefully in a few years I can come back and edit his rating to a higher one, because I do think he has the potential to be more. Just needs more time."
[5.0] "Solo is, in many ways, just like Roman Reigns early on in his career, both the good things and bad things unfortunately. Got pushed into a major spot because of their family ties and were able to coast on being part of a major faction for a few years to cover up their flaws, until the powers that be decided to push him into a top spot before he was ready for it. You'd think they would have learned from the shitshow that was Roman's five years before the Tribal Chief, but here we are again. In many ways, Solo is worse because Roman could at least have good to great matches, even if his mic work wasn't good. I cannot name a single memorable thing about Solo that isn't just an inferior version of someone else; Umaga was a better Samoan monster, and Jacob is outperforming him as that right now (something WWE wanted to avoid), and now he's playing a worse version Roman's Tribal Chief character. He has no identity of his own and he doesn't even sound convincing whenever he speaks. He is single handedly tarnishing what was a good couple of years for The Bloodline. Hard to know what's gonna happen to him in the future, but the sunk cost fallacy seems to be in place right now and they're going to keep pushing him no matter what. Hopefully they don't take as long as Roman did, and just let him develop in the midcard or NXT for a few more years. He's only 31, there's no reason to rush him to the top so soon. If he improves, I'll amend this rating, but as he is now, this is the rating he deserves."
[5.0] "He wrestles way too slow and is not a good storyteller in the ring, all his matches are just meh to me and he even managed to have a pretty boring match with Cody at summerslam main event, Jacob Fatu is way better, I only really like the Cena match from this guy."
[2.0] "The Temu tribal chief, who is the worst in his own faction. His call up and whole run absolutely reeks of nepotism. His best match was against Elias and that's only because of the spots with the musical instruments, other than that, every match he's had has been a snoozefest. The Bloodline storyline has been milked to the point the cow is dead. I just hope Roman having a match with Solo can do something to make this aura-less, Weeknd wannabe actually build some momentum instead of being forced down our throats every week."
[2.0] ""Like a lot of other comments, I truly do not understand his position in all these stories. His not threatening at all, his in-ring is not impressive, he is boring, he has no charisma or presence. I barely remember one good match with him in it. He did not bring anything to the Bloodline, just a falsely threatening men with no personality added to a team full of good characters and pro-pro-wrestlers. At least, it gave him a place in the division, but.Why ? ". I wrote that few months ago, and now with this "real tribal chief" story so expected and unsurprising, I find him more boring than he already was. Can't wait to see Roman beat him."
[6.0] "He's receiving a fairly sizable push for a guy who had a relatively quick run through NXT and was seen as a back-up player before ascending into becoming the leader of The Bloodline. He's had notable feuds with John Cena but it seems to be happening to quick for the guy. I like his potential and he's a good wrestler."
[6.0] "I enjoyed Solo when he was in NXT 2.0, however on the main roster I feel like hes being pushed too much too early, already in the main events to PLEs. I feel like he can be a star in the next few years but for now, Cody said it best: hes not ready."
