According to a recent report by WrestleVotes on Fightful Select, backstage reaction to Solo Sikoa’s changes in character have been well recieved. Furthermore, there are reportedly talks about his babyface run, which was originally intended to be short term, to be reconsidered. The report also noted that a talent had referred to Solo Sikoa as one of the funniest superstars backstage, and his character is getting the spotlight in programming.

As of now, Solo Sikoa is gearing up to face The Usos and Jacob Fatu, by teaming up with LA Knight and Royce Keys at WWE SummerSlam.

A former WWE star recently spoke about Solo Sikoa

According to a former WWE star, the company is too hesitant to take risks regarding characters and storylines.

Speaking on Sports Jedi Network, Luke Menzies (fka Ridge Holland) noted that both Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu followed in the footsteps of Umaga. He said:

“WWE always has a way, for instance if you look at Solo or Jacob Fatu, it’s like ‘Ok, we’re gonna make them Umaga, because they know that Umaga worked in the past, so they already have a recipe there that works,” he said. [34:13 – 34:30]

He further added that the creative team is afraid to try creating new characters.

“But if it’s something they have to create something that’s totally new, they might shy away from it because they don’t know that it might not work. It’s a lot easier to stay safe and say ‘Well, this recipe works.” [34:31 – 34:42]

As of now, it remains to be seen what is next for Solo Sikoa down the line, and what awaits him at SummerSlam.
