In this article, let’s discuss four reasons why Solo missed this week’s Monday Night RAW.
#4. Selling the effects of the kidnapping
Last week on the red brand, Royce Keys and OTM kidnapped Solo Sikoa. Later, the Stamford-based promotion released a video showing the former AEW star’s faction letting Solo walk away after beating him.
The former United States Champion is likely selling the kidnapping effects. This led to his absence from RAW this week. Now, WWE may keep Solo off television while waiting for the perfect moment for his comeback.
#3. No point in bringing him back until he’s the main story
The Stamford-based promotion is moving toward a potential WarGames match between The Bloodline and the 946 faction. Solo Sikoa may reunite with the family group soon to take down Royce Keys and his alliance
After Solo Sikoa’s kidnapping, there is no point in bringing him back to the red brand until he becomes the main story or is directly involved in The Bloodline Saga.
So, the Triple H-led creative team could be waiting for the reunion moment to bring Solo back. This could be the reason behind his absence from WWE RAW this week.
#2. His absence furthered the Bloodline vs. 946 angle
After Solo was kidnapped, Jacob Fatu and The Usos were all in the mood to take revenge on this week’s RAW. Sikoa’s absence from WWE television will help the sports entertainment juggernaut further the Bloodline vs. 946 faction war angle.
So, keeping the former MFT leader off TV could be a strategic move to escalate things to new heights and fuel more heat between these two alliances.
#1. There’s time to build until WWE WarGames
As of this writing, the next WWE premium live event is Money in the Bank 2026. Following this, the company will move forward with Crown Jewel 2026 and then Survivor Series: WarGames.
This means that there is more than enough time to build the WarGames match between The Bloodline and the 946 faction. There is no need to bring Solo Sikoa on television every week, especially when the company currently lacks creative plans for him outside The Bloodline Saga.
This could be another possible explanation for why Solo Sikoa missed this week’s red-brand show.
