A top WWE star has compared Solo Sikoa to Umaga.
It is no secret that Solo Sikoa belongs to the legendary Anoa’i family along with his brothers Jimmy and Jey Uso as well as current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
The family members have formed The Bloodline, which has become one of the most dominant factions in WWE history.
Since being called up to the main roster in September 2022, Sikoa has added to his moveset, including using his uncle Umaga’s signature Samoan Spike finisher.
Speaking on the latest edition of WWE’s The Bump, John Cena compared Sikoa to his uncle. He said:
“The striking parallel he runs to Umaga, in every facet. To be put in that conversation is rarified air.”
“Solo is a bit of a conundrum, but when I see him, and see him perform, I think of the hard fought battles I had against Umaga, and they run a lot of parallels.”

Cena famously faced Umaga in a Last Man Standing Match for the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble 2007.
Now, the 16-time world champion is set to team up with LA Knight to face The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso at this Saturday’s WWE Fastlane. For the full lineup for the event, click here.
Cena also spoke about Knight during his appearance on The Bump, discussing his rising popularity in the company.
