Solo Sikoa experienced a disappointing elimination during the men’s Royal Rumble match held in Saudi Arabia, marking a difficult moment for the WWE superstar. Entering at number three, the leader of the MFT faction was quickly removed by former NXT Champion Oba Femi, resulting in a swift and unexpected exit during his Royal Rumble debut.
Since Solo Sikoa’s main roster debut in 2022, he had not previously competed in a Royal Rumble match, so this appearance was highly anticipated. However, his early elimination by a former NXT competitor added to a frustrating night, further intensified by a confrontation with a fan who jeered at him using derogatory language.
As Solo made his way backstage following his quick elimination, a fan was heard shouting,
“You S*ck”
to which Solo responded by gesturing angrily, flipping off the individual before leaving the arena. This tense exchange was captured on video and shared widely on social media, provoking mixed reactions and sparking conversations among WWE fans.
Examining the Current Status of Solo Sikoa and His Faction
Alongside Solo Sikoa, the MFTs currently hold the WWE Tag Team Championships, yet their ongoing feud with The Wyatt Sicks faction has not delivered the impact many anticipated. WWE appears to be pacing this rivalry cautiously, avoiding a rapid escalation between the two groups.
During a recent episode of SmackDown, a vignette featured Uncle Howdy, portrayed by Bo Dallas, warning Solo and the MFTs that The Wyatt Sicks intend to reclaim the lantern they had previously taken, as well as the WWE Tag Team Titles which the MFTs currently possess. This hints at an imminent conflict between the rival factions.
Possible WrestleMania Showdown Between MFTs and The Wyatt Sicks
Rumors suggest that Solo Sikoa’s faction may face Uncle Howdy and The Wyatt Sicks at WrestleMania 42, scheduled to take place in Las Vegas this year. Given the limited storylines for the MFTs over the coming months, WWE may aim to culminate this rivalry with a high-profile match at the event.
Last year, the absence of The Wyatt Sicks from WrestleMania 41 disappointed many fans, making a significant appearance at this year’s Mania all the more likely. The looming contest is expected to determine how The Wyatt Sicks will attempt to wrest the WWE Tag Team Championships from Solo Sikoa and his group.
