Solo Sikoa On His Main Roster Debut At Clash at the Castle, Relationship With Roman Reigns

Solo Sikoa joined the Bloodline at WWE Clash at the Castle, and he recently spoke about that main roster debut and more. Sikoa spoke with Peter Rosenberg for the latter’s Cheap Heat podcast, and you can check out a couple of highlights below:

On his relationship with Roman Reigns: “Man, you know, seeing Roman at Cardiff — I haven’t seen him for like over 20 years. But I haven’t — you know, we really weren’t close, but he was always around at our house, playing with my brothers because they were the same age and I was way, way younger than them. But he was always around our house. I think 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 to him, man. It’s ‘Big Uce’ Roman Reigns, you know what I’m saying? He’s been running this game for a while now, and so I’m starting to form that relationship with him.”

On what he talked with Reigns about before the match: “He just said, ‘Be there, be there on the timing. If you don’t do this and that in the match, it’s not gonna work,’ you know what I mean? And I remember when we got there like, nobody knows that I was there in Cardiff. None of the guys, none of the boys, only certain people. And then nobody seen me go out there under the ring. And then everybody first seen me when I first came back after the spot had happened, I was like, ‘Man, wow that’s crazy.’

“I remember that day man, we were just sitting in the locker room. It’s quiet, I was watching them. I’m getting ready for that match. I don’t want to say anything, you know what I mean? Because I was just — he was in his zone, I was in my zone. I knew what I needed to do; he know what he needed to do. And he was like, ‘Man, I need you to be here, I need you to execute this at this time.’ And I did man, and they blew the roof off the place.”
