Major Bloodline member can hold WWE fans in the palm of his hand, believes analyst
Wrestling analyst Sam Roberts recently praised a prominent member of the New Bloodline ahead of the WWE RAW Netflix premiere. Sam believes that despite being heavily booed by fans, Solo Sikoa possesses an undeniable charisma that allows him to captivate the audience.
On January 6, 2025, The Street Champion is set to face Roman Reigns in a Tribal Combat Match. This contest will determine who is the true and rightful Tribal Chief between Sikoa and Reigns.
Speaking on his Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts commended Solo Sikoa's evolution, describing the latter's current persona as a captivating blend of "scary" and "swaggy."
"Solo Sikoa [is] shifting back into swaggy Solo, but he's still kind of scary Solo as well. He's becoming scary, swaggy Solo, and it's really impressive; the command that he has developed of [sic] the audience. This is a guy, a lot of people are going, 'Man, he's improved a lot since April!'" he said.
The wrestling analyst highlighted the 31-year-old WWE star's improved command over the audience. Roberts also emphasized the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief's rapid growth from a relatively inexperienced performer to someone who can captivate the crowd with ease.
"Now, he's playing on a different level and that's true. But I think you also have to take into account [that] he's a young guy and just a few years ago, he had no experience, and now he's holding the audience in the palm of his hand like a very few performers have the ability to do [so]," he added.

Solo Sikoa takes a shot at Roman Reigns ahead of WWE RAW on Netflix
On the December 20, 2024, edition of SmackDown, Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga faced LA Knight, Andrade, and Apollo Crews. The New Bloodline members emerged victorious in the six-man tag team match.
Following the show, WWE shared a video on Instagram of the group exiting the ring and heading backstage. In the video, Solo stated that, unlike Roman Reigns, he appears on SmackDown every week and that he will leave RAW on January 6 with the Ula Fala.
"Every single week, The Tribal Chief shows up. January 6th, I'm leaving with this," he said.
It remains to be seen if The Street Champion can defeat the former WWE Universal Champion to prove that he is the true Tribal Chief in The Bloodline saga.
