"Happy birthday legend" - Solo Sikoa breaks character to send message to WWE Hall of Famer
The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa broke character on Twitter to wish WWE legend Yokozuna a happy birthday.
Solo Sikoa debuted on the main roster at Clash at the Castle. He interfered in the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match between Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre and helped the Tribal Chief retain the title. Now a SmackDown star, he's formed a bond with The Honorary Uce Sami Zayn recently on the blue brand.
Sikoa and Yokozuna are both members of the legendary Anoa'i family, which also includes Reigns, the Usos, The Rock, Umaga and Rikishi. The Bloodline has produced multiple world champions and WWE Hall of Famers over the decades, and its newer generations are hard at work extending that legacy.
Solo took to Twitter today to wish his late cousin Yokozuna a happy birthday. Yokozuna had an incredible career before he sadly passed away at just 34 years old. Sikoa's older brothers, Jimmy and Jey Uso, inducted Yokozuna into the Hall of Fame in 2012.

Solo Sikoa recently captured the NXT Championship from Carmelo Hayes but was stripped of the title shortly after. Time will tell if he and The Honarary Uce ever go after the tag titles held by The Usos.
