Solo Sikoa; the youngest son of WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi had been pretty impressive ever since joining WWE and his recent work as the new Tribal Chief had been really praiseworthy. He even had a huge feud with the ‘Original Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns recently and he did a marvelous job against ‘The Head of the Table.’
Jacob Fatu on the other hand has also been quite impressive since joining the promotion last year and it can be seen clearly that the promotion has big plans for the son of the legendary professional wrestler Sam Fatu. He had been presented as a heel so far; mostly as a member of the New Bloodline faction.
Solo Sikoa vs. Jacob Fatu? WWE Hall of Famer Makes Epic Comparison!
Clearly, WWE has big plans for both of these young wrestlers but as of now, reports suggest Jacob Fatu is a bigger project for the promotion at this moment. WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi made a comparison between these two athletes. Additionally, he contrasted them too. Speaking on "Off The Top" Podcast, the former WWE Intercontinental Champion said;
Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu are presently working as a team
"It looks like they're starting to light up Jacob, light some gas up underneath him." Rikishi said. "Maybe it could be time for Solo to turn babyface. I mean where do you go after it's done with him and Roman? But you know, at the end of the day, Solo's not going nowhere.” Said Rikishi.
Jacob Fatu debuted in WWE in 2024 and sided with Solo Sikoa
He continued, “He's gonna be a player with WWE for a while and Jacob as well and also the Tongan brothers ... It's going to be interesting to see how this thing here plays out, I don't know, who turns babyface if in case Jacob, and they decide to go with Jacob and Solo. If Jacob turns on Solo, it could go either way."
The New Bloodline story got weakened a little after Solo lost to Roman Reigns on the Netflix RAW Premiere. Reigns is not likely to continue this feud and no plans for Fatu and Solo are confirmed for WrestleMania 41 either. There are rumors that Solo and Fatu would go face to face at the Grandest Stage of Them All where Fatu may turn babyface. These are all speculations as of now and nothing has been confirmed.
