33-year old superstar to be unveiled as Solo Sikoa’s new enforcer on SmackDown? Exploring the possibility

Since SummerSlam 2024, Solo Sikoa has not had the best time in WWE. At the PLE, fans witnessed the return of Roman Reigns, who confronted Sikoa and cost him his title opportunity against Cody Rhodes. Reigns continued his onslaught on Sikoa and his Bloodline on SmackDown's most recent episode.

While Sikoa escaped unharmed on the blue brand, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa took a beating they will remember. It seems like Sikoa missed having Jacob Fatu by his side since Fatu got injured at SummerSlam. Hence, Sikoa could replace Fatu and bring in Hikuleo as his new Enforcer.

For those unaware, Hikuleo (aka Talla Tonga) recently signed with WWE. On the upcoming episode of SmackDown, Solo Sikoa could announce that Hikuleo is the new Enforcer. Sikoa could then say that he made this decision due to Fatu's inability to protect him from Reigns at SummerSlam and SmackDown.

Sikoa could say that Jacob Fatu did not meet his expectations, and going forward, Hikuleo will be the man to fulfill those expectations. While having a 6'8" giant like Hikuleo as the Enforcer would be beneficial to Sikoa, roaming with his brothers, The Tongans, would also be good for Hikuleo.

Wrestling journalist wants to advocate for Solo Sikoa's Bloodline

When Solo Sikoa took control of The Bloodline at WrestleMania 40, the majority of the WWE Universe was against accepting him as the new leader. After all, most fans see Roman Reigns as the Tribal Chief. However, a veteran journalist wants to stand behind Solo Sikoa.

The veteran journalist in question is Bill Apter. During an episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted, Apter mentioned that he wants to be an advocate for Sikoa's Bloodline. The wrestling journalist said:

"Solo is the Tribal Chief allegedly... I have decided that I want to be the advocate for the new, for the old Bloodline. Can you imagine me coming out and saying... 'Ladies and Gentleman, my name is Bill Apter, and I am the advocate for the reigning Samoan Solo Sikoa and The Real Bloodline." [2:30 onwards]

You can check out what Bill Apter said about Sikoa's Bloodline in the video below:

Now that Roman Reigns has returned to the Stamford-based promotion, Sikoa's position as the Tribal Chief is under threat. It will be interesting to see when Reigns and Sikoa will officially settle their beef in the ring. A match between the two would surely create a huge buzz due to everything that's happened since WrestleMania.
