Solo Sikoa has spoken about advice given to him by his Tribal Chief, Bloodline leader, Undisputed WWE Universal Champion and cousin Roman Reigns.
Sikoa made his WWE main roster debut at WWE Clash At The Castle in Cardiff, Wales, helping reigns to retain his title against challenger Drew McIntyre.
Speaking with Peter Rosenberg on the latest edition of The Ringer’s Cheap Heat podcast, Sikoa spoke about his relationship with his cousin, noting:
“You know, seeing Roman in Cardiff, I hadn’t seen him for like 20 years. We really weren’t close but he was always around at our house playing with my brothers (The Usos). They were the same age and I was way younger than them.
“Now coming into the business, I’m starting to get close with him even though the age gap is there. I’m really starting to get close with him because it’s Big Uce Roman Reigns, you know what I’m saying? He’s been running this game for a while now.”
When asked if Reigns had any advice for him ahead of his main roster debut, Sikoa responded:
“He just said be there. Be there on the timing. If you don’t do this and that during the match, it’s not going to work.
“I remember when we got there, nobody knew I was there in Cardiff. None of the boys, just only certain people.
“I remember that day man, we were just sitting in the locker room. It’s quiet. I was watching them get ready for their match and I didn’t want to say anything.
“He was in his zone and I was in my zone. He was like man ‘I just need you to be here and I need you to execute this at this time’. And I did man, and it blew the roof off the place.”
Sikoa also said that Reigns had told him that he had done a good job at the event.
Sikoa and The Usos’ father Rikishi uas urged WWE to sign another member of the Anoa’i/Fatu family, which you can read more about right here.
