Solo Sikoa’s night on Raw began with a staredown and ended in retreat as The Bloodline and Judgment Day came under attack.
The opening segment of the show began with The Bloodline in the ring, and Paul Heyman, microphone in hand. However, the faction was quickly interrupted by Judgment Day, although Heyman revealed that they were part of his plan. The Bloodline’s resident Wise Man revealed that a deal had been sanctioned by Roman Reigns, to see the two groups unite. This set up a match between Solo Sikoa and Rey Mysterio, and then Sami Zayn, Matt Riddle, Kevin Owens, and the Judgment Day in the main event.
Although not before an intense staredown between Sikoa and Rhea Ripley brought fans to their feet.
In his match against Mysterio, Sikoa continued his dominant run which has seen him taste defeat in singles action only once since moving to the main roster. Like many of his opponents, Mysterio fell to the Samoan Spike but it was the pin-fall that quickly got fans’ attention.
As Sikoa pinned the WWE Hall of Famer he was picked up thanking him as a show of respect.
Upon pinning Rey Mysterio on #WWERAW last night, Solo Sikoa can be heard saying "thank you".
RESPECT 💪 pic.twitter.com/bO4a9zAyGc

Solo Sikoa And The Bloodline Beaten Down
Fast forward to the main event and it was the team of Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and Matt Riddle who scored the win over Judgment Day. However, that was only part of the story. As soon as the match finished The Usos and Solo Sikoa rushed to the ring and started to beat down the Tag Team Champions and Riddle. This brought out the LWO and a wild brawl ensued, and ended with the babyfaces standing tall.
