Solo Sikoa WWE praise took center stage recently when Sikoa expressed gratitude toward the 42-year-old Tonga Loa during a segment on SmackDown, promising a reward for his unwavering loyalty. Known for a career marked by many dramatic moments, Sikoa’s recognition of Tonga Loa highlights a notable moment in his ongoing journey within WWE.
Solo Sikoa’s WWE Career: Triumphs and Setbacks
Over the past eighteen months, Solo Sikoa has held a leadership role while experiencing a balance of achievements and defeats. One of his most significant recent accomplishments was capturing the United States Championship. However, his time as champion was brief, as Sami Zayn soon dethroned him. Since then, Zayn has been busy defending the title through a series of open challenges, including a high-profile match against Carmelo Hayes on September 19.
Building Relationships Within the MFT
Sikoa publicly recognized Tonga Loa, who is not only a veteran wrestler but also the son of the legendary Haku. Sikoa stated that Tonga Loa never betrayed him and pledged to reward his loyalty. Tonga Loa replied by affirming his affection for Sikoa, illustrating the strong bonds within their faction.
The Malo Family Tree (MFT) faction has been gaining momentum with the additions of Talla Tonga and JC Matteo, complementing the presence of Tonga Loa. This coalition has grown stronger, although one key member, Tama Tonga, remains sidelined due to an injury expected to keep him out of action for several months.
Uncertain Future for Solo Sikoa and the MFT
Following a recent feud loss against Roman Reigns, the future direction for Solo Sikoa and the MFT is unclear. Potential storylines include Sikoa attempting to reclaim the United States Championship from Sami Zayn or making a transition to WWE’s RAW brand. The prospect of Sikoa moving to RAW introduces new dynamics, especially considering the established dominance of factions like The Judgment Day and The Vision on that brand.
Implications of Sikoa’s Focus on Loyalty and Leadership
The emphasis on loyalty and mutual respect within the MFT may influence future alliances and rivalries across WWE programming. Solo Sikoa’s acknowledgment of veteran wrestlers strengthens his leadership image, which could play a critical role as the MFT navigates the evolving landscape of WWE. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see whether Sikoa recalibrates his path towards regaining gold or establishes a new presence on RAW.
