Rikishi Says Solo Sikoa Might Be the One to Beat Cody Rhodes for WWE Championship

Solo Sikoa just hit a major milestone at WWE Crown Jewel, pulling off a career-defining victory by pinning Roman Reigns. In a thrilling six-man tag team match, Solo, alongside Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga of The Bloodline, took on Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso, and came out on top. The victory sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe and set the stage for what could be a monumental future for Sikoa.

Rikishi, WWE Hall of Famer and proud father of Solo Sikoa, shared his thoughts on this major moment during his Off The Top podcast.

“Like I mentioned [on] the last podcast we had, Solo’s a made man,” Rikishi said, emphasizing that this win solidifies his son’s path to becoming one of WWE’s top stars. He added, “For that to happen, there’s definitely, we see plans within this kid [of] what can be the next level for him.”

Rikishi speculated on Solo’s potential path forward, including the possibility of him challenging for top titles.

“We talked about, does he need a belt? Well, after this [pin] on Roman, I can see maybe Solo being the one to take it off of Cody. I talked about maybe Roman will come back and take it off of Cody. But after seeing that, you beat the GOAT. I believe it was two or three spikes, but now, it’s like okay, you beat the GOAT, now you’re considered the GOAT. The GOAT-slayer. So who knows?” Rikishi mused.

This moment is a testament to Solo Sikoa’s rapid rise in WWE. Pushing past the shadows of established family members like Roman Reigns and the Usos, Sikoa is stepping into the limelight, carving out his legacy as a future main-event player.
