Solo Sikoa, a man linked with a main roster call-up, was recently involved in an altercation during last week’s SmackDown taping alongside Von Wagner.
Since he made his NXT 2.0 debut last November, it’s been a matter of when, not if, Solo Sikoa will make his debut on the main roster. As the real-life brother of The Usos and their involvement in Roman Reigns’ Bloodline faction, Sikoa would make for a perfect fit.
It seems that this call-up could be coming sooner rather than later, following Sikoa’s run-in with Von Wagner that took place during the taping for last week’s SmackDown. NXT 2.0’s Twitter account posted a screenshot of the brawl, which will air on this week’s broadcast of the brand:
On Friday night there was an altercation between @WWEVonWagner and @WWESoloSikoa at #SmackDown.

Solo Sikoa and Von Wagner wrestled on last Tuesday’s NXT 2.0, going to a no contest as they brawled backstage and out into the parking lot. This involved Solo tossing Mr Stone, Wagner’s manager, into a dumpster.
Due to last week’s SmackDown being held from the Amway Center in Orlando – close to WWE’s Performance Center – it’s possible that WWE was simply making use of its nearby talent to further NXT storylines. However, the common consensus appears to be that both Solo Sikoa and Von Wagner will be called up to the main roster imminently.
Sikoa, in particular, has been linked with a call-up. Fightful Select reported prior to Money in the Bank that there had been “serious discussions” regarding bringing him to either Raw or SmackDown. More recently, GiveMeSport’s Louis Dangoor reported that Solo was expected on the main roster following SummerSlam.
