Solo offered to be Seth Rollins’ Shield against The OTC at SummerSlam, similar to how Rollins was Cody Rhodes’ Shield at WrestleMania XL. Although the former Vision leader has yet to accept the offer, Solo’s proposal has certainly added an intriguing layer to the rivalry ahead of the upcoming two-night event.

In this article, we will discuss three reasons why Sikoa offered to be Seth’s Shield against The Head of the Table at WWE SummerSlam.

#3. Ploy to help Roman Reigns defeat Seth Rollins

After WWE Clash in Italy 2026, Roman Reigns sent Jacob Fatu to convince Solo Sikoa to reunite with The Bloodline. This ultimately disrupted the MFT’s business on SmackDown and led to multiple setbacks for Solo’s faction.

Jacob also warned Solo on several occasions. However, when the former United States Champion continued interfering in The Bloodline’s affairs, it created cracks within Solo Sikoa’s family and eventually led to the faction’s downfall.

Many believe Solo Sikoa will eventually reunite with The Bloodline. If that’s the case, his offer to help Seth Rollins could be part of a larger plan to assist The OTC in defeating Rollins at SummerSlam.

Following that, Solo could reunite with The OTC and officially become part of The Bloodline again.

#2. To get back at The OTC

Roman Reigns appears to be the primary reason behind the collapse of MFT, leaving Solo Sikoa high and dry on Friday Night SmackDown. As a result, Sikoa could be looking to exact revenge on the Original Tribal Chief.

This could also explain why he offered to join Seth Rollins’ side at SummerSlam 2026. Aligning with the beloved WWE star would give Solo the perfect opportunity to get back at the OTC and settle the score.

#1. To set up a feud post-SummerSlam in WWE

Although Solo Sikoa intends to help Seth Rollins at the Biggest Party of the Summer, his involvement could ultimately backfire. There is a possibility that Sikoa could accidentally cost The Visionary the World Heavyweight Championship match.

This could be another reason why Solo Sikoa offered to be Rollins’ shield heading into his upcoming title bout. If the former NXT North American Champion inadvertently costs Rollins the title, it would plant the perfect seeds planted for a heated rivalry between the two on WWE RAW following SummerSlam.
