Solo Sikoa's 39-year-old cousin doesn't think he's going to beat Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam (Exclusive)
Solo Sikoa is set for the biggest match of his life against Cody Rhodes in the main event of SummerSlam this year. Ahead of the headliner bout, one of Solo's cousins revealed that he doesn't think the new Tribal Chief will beat The American Nightmare.
Sportskeeda Wrestling hosted a SummerSlam Pre-Show and preview, with host, Joe Lowry speaking to Anoa'i family member, Afa Anoa'i Jr. who is the son of Afa Sr., and also Roman Reigns' uncle. That means that Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and The Usos are related to him.
The 39-year-old former WWE star found it hard to predict Cody Rhodes vs Solo Sikoa at SummerSlam but ultimately picked The American Nightmare to walk out with the Undisputed WWE Championship intact in what he felt would be a chaotic match.
"This is tough. This is really, really tough. There could be [a title change], for the sake of the storyline, there could be. But I don't think there will be. I think there are too many deciding factors in this one. Too much outside interference that could happen. This one should be really good but I think this is going to be really chaotic. This is SummerSlam and in SummerSlam's past, they've done it really big. So I'm excited to see how this one goes," he said. [29:51-30:34]

What did Solo Sikoa tell Roman Reigns eight days before SummerSlam?
Solo Sikoa has been getting increasingly bold with his stance against Roman Reigns. All while the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion has been on the sidelines waiting - and presumably watching.
Solo sent a clear message to Roman Reigns recently and stated that if the latter had any issues with him taking the Undisputed WWE Championship, he knew where to find him.
This was eight days before SummerSlam and soon after Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu won a Gauntlet Match to become the number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
