Dutch Mantell recently delved into Solo Sikoa’s impactful promo on this week’s SmackDown.
Solo Sikoa appears to be asserting his dominance within The Bloodline, making significant moves to solidify his position. This week, he revealed to Paul Heyman that Tama Tonga had joined the faction.
Additionally, Sikoa delivered a powerful promo during the show, demonstrating a newfound level of aggression as he and Tonga viciously assaulted Kevin Owens in retaliation for his previous insults towards the faction.
During the latest episode of Smack Talk, Mantell discussed the dynamics between Solo and The Wiseman (Heyman).
He highlighted Sikoa’s assertive behavior, particularly when he swiftly seized the microphone from Heyman to address the audience, symbolizing a hostile takeover.
Mantell suggested that Sikoa should have challenged Heyman’s authority more explicitly, advocating for a more confrontational approach.
“I did like the way that Solo grabbed the mic from Heyman. I wish he just said, ‘What the F- are you talking about? Shut the hell up.'” [From 22:27 onwards]
In the aftermath of WrestleMania, Solo Sikoa has emerged as the dominant force within The Bloodline, ousting Jimmy Uso, introducing Tama Tonga, and leaving Paul Heyman powerless.
With The Wiseman unable to connect with Roman Reigns for assistance, it remains to be seen if Sikoa’s evolving character will lead to a confrontation with The Tribal Chief upon his eventual return to WWE.
