"Achieve even more" - Solo Sikoa congratulated by real-life Bloodline member after winning WWE United States Championship

Solo Sikoa won the WWE United States Championship at the Night of Champions Premium Live Event and was congratulated by his father, Rikishi. He defeated Jacob Fatu to win his first title on the main roster.

Sikoa previously held the NXT North American Championship before he was part of the OG Bloodline and was Roman Reigns' Enforcer. He debuted on the main roster at Clash at the Castle: Scotland, helping Reigns beat Drew McIntyre before eventually breaking out on his own and forming his iteration of The Bloodline.

On Instagram, Sikoa was congratulated by the Hall of Famer Rikishi, who sent a heartfelt message explaining how proud he was of his son.

"I am proud to witness my son's success, which is a direct result of his plan, commitment, and sacrifice. I look forward to seeing him achieve even more in his life. Congratulations to the NEW WWE US Champion, my son Solo." wrote Rikishi.

Solo Sikoa confirmed that Jimmy Uso didn't want to return to the family

Solo Sikoa confirmed that his brother Jimmy Uso refused to return to the family, leading to the newly crowned United States Champion introducing Tala Tonga (Hikuleo) and a returning Tonga Loa to his faction.

Speaking on the Night of Champions post-show, Sikoa also stated that he tried talking sense into Jacob Fatu by asking him to follow his lead, but The Samoan Werewolf rejected his offer. He said:

"I tried to give Jimmy a chance to come back to the group. He didn’t wanna come back. I tried to tell Jacob to listen to me, follow my lead, [but] he didn’t wanna listen to me. So, you know what? I cut the dead weight. Somebody else stepped up."

Solo Sikoa's faction now includes himself, JC Mateo, Tala Tonga, and Tonga Loa.
