WWE Star on the original plans for his alliance with The Usos

Solo Sikoa says he was originally pitched to work alongside The Usos on the main roster before it was decided that he should perform as a singles competitor on NXT 2.0.

Sikoa made his WWE debut late last year and has been built as a strong competitor so far. While WWE surely acknowledges his ties to the Anoa'i family and The Usos, he isn't directly associated with them yet. Instead, he has been given time to prosper on his own first.

Sikoa was glad that he wasn't immediately paired up with The Usos since it wouldn't have allowed him to create his own identity, as he explained in a recent interview with BT Sport WWE. He revealed the nixed plans for his debut and commented on the decision:

"At the end of the day, it's so easy to go back and say I'm [The Uso] brother, I'm their family. At the end of the day it's like, I don't want to be referred to as "their brother", "their cousin". I want people to recognize me for me. I think before I started, before I debuted on TV- The creative were like 'we'll just put you with your brothers' and then the next meeting was like 'Let's see what you can do on your own' and I felt like that was a fire day," said Sikoa.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

Solo Sikoa could potentially join The Usos as part of The Bloodline

Reigns has been quite proud of his lineage, and it would be no surprise if he eventually looks to push the boundaries of The Bloodline. The faction currently holds six titles, and if Sikoa makes his way over to the main roster anytime soon, he could bring more gold to the family.

A successful NXT run, followed by a strong main roster debut, could potentially set Sikoa up as the next big thing in WWE later down the line.

He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.

If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.

When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
