Real-life Bloodline member breaks character to praise Solo Sikoa
Solo Sikoa has taken over The Bloodline with brute force and it looks like The Street Champion won't stop anytime soon. Meanwhile, Jey Uso broke character to praise his younger brother and his work on Friday Night SmackDown.
Earlier this year, Solo Sikoa showcased a brand-new side to his character with aspirations of overshadowing Roman Reigns as the new Tribal Chief. After adding new members, Sikoa gained momentum in the Stamford-based promotion and terrorized Friday Night SmackDown.
In a recent appearance on The Ringer Wrestling Show, Jey Uso spoke highly of Solo Sikoa's recent work in the company. The star broke character and praised Sikoa's hard work and determination to make it to WWE and try to fill in Roman Reigns' shoes as the new Tribal Chief.
"Man, from a real perspective, I'm so happy for him. It brings joy to see him out there on SmackDown cause I know his story and what it took for him to get here. And, he did put in the work. Solo [Sikoa] has a degree in college and he's the smartest one out of all of us, man. He just wanted to wrestle. The rule was, me and my brother told him, we'll get you in, but you need to finish school first (...) He's killing it man, and I tell him you shining right now. Keep it up bro," Jey said.
