Overview
Solo Sikoa is the youngest son of Rikishi, the younger brother of The Usos, and the member of the Anoa'i wrestling dynasty whose entire WWE career has been an argument about who the family answers to. He arrived at Clash at the Castle on September 3, 2022 as Roman Reigns' enforcer, took over the Bloodline in Reigns' absence in 2024, rebuilt it twice in his own image, and on August 17, 2026 ended the argument by driving a Samoan Spike into Reigns' throat on Raw rather than kneel to him. 62days as United States Champion in 2025 — per Wikipedia, the third member of the Anoa’i family to hold the titleThe championship resume is short for a wrestler this central — one United States Championship, one WWE Tag Team Championship, one NXT North American Championship — because the resume was never the point: for four years he has been the axis the Bloodline story turned on.
The rise was fast. He debuted on the independents in April 2018 as Sefa Fatu, signed with WWE on August 30, 2021, and won the NXT North American Championship from Carmelo Hayes on September 13, 2022 — ten days after his main-roster debut had already happened, when he helped Reigns beat Drew McIntyre in Cardiff. He vacated the NXT title on September 20 and spent two years as the silent enforcer, spiking John Cena at Crown Jewel 2023 in Cena's only match of that year. 2Bloodlines led — the usurper version of 2024–25, and the MFT, his “My Family Tree” rebrand of 2025–26After WrestleMania XL he expelled Jimmy Uso, claimed the Tribal Chief title for himself and recruited Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu; the civil war that followed ran through SummerSlam 2024, WarGames, and the Tribal Combat match Reigns won on the January 6, 2025 Netflix premiere of Raw. He beat Jacob Fatu for the United States Championship at Night of Champions on June 28, 2025, kept it past a steel cage rematch at SummerSlam, and lost it to Sami Zayn's open challenge on August 29, 2025 after 62 days.
The 2026 story is the turn. The MFT dissolved on the June 26 SmackDown in London when Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga told him they had “heard from the elders” and walked, blaming his obsession with Reigns for the June 19 tag title loss. 8.17the date, month and day, that Sikoa answered Reigns’ demand to kneel with a Samoan Spike on RawSikoa spent July courting a sceptical LA Knight, ate a beatdown from Reigns' rebuilt Bloodline on the July 20 Raw, and got his answer in at SummerSlam on August 1, when he, Knight and Royce Keys beat The Usos and Jacob Fatu. On August 17 Reigns demanded he fall in line and attack Knight to prove it; Sikoa spiked Reigns instead. A week later Royce Keys turned too, returning with OTM to lay out Sikoa, Knight and The Usos alike — so as of August 31, 2026 he is a babyface for the first time in his WWE career, fighting his own family on one side and a debuting faction on the other.

This is a curated ledger, not a career count, and no career win–loss total is published because no verified total exists. The August 24, 2026 main event is recorded as a no-contest because that is how it ended: Royce Keys and OTM attacked everyone in it.

Factions
Four alignments in four years, every one of them a claim about who runs the family.
WWE · 2022–2024
The Bloodline — the enforcer
Roman Reigns, The Usos, Solo Sikoa, Paul Heyman
Debuted at Clash at the Castle on September 3, 2022, interfering to save Roman Reigns' Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Drew McIntyre. For two years he was the group's silent weapon — the WarGames win in November 2022, the attack that set up WrestleMania 39's main event, the Samoan Spikes that ended John Cena's night at Crown Jewel 2023. ESPN named the Bloodline story Best Storyline in 2022 and 2023 with his enforcer run at its core.
WWE · 2024–2025
The Bloodline — the usurper's version
Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Jacob Fatu, JC Mateo (later)
After WrestleMania XL, with Reigns gone, Sikoa expelled Jimmy Uso, removed Paul Heyman's authority and claimed the Tribal Chief title, importing Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu. The civil war it started ran more than a year: Bloodline Rules at SummerSlam 2024, the tag loss at Bad Blood, the WarGames defeat at Survivor Series, and the Tribal Combat loss to Reigns on the January 6, 2025 Raw that settled the leadership question — against him.
WWE · 2025–2026
MFT — My Family Tree
Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, JC Mateo, Talla Tonga
The rebrand after the US title win: same idea, his tree instead of Reigns'. The MFT feuded with Sami Zayn and the Wyatt Sicks, and Sikoa and Tama Tonga took the WWE Tag Team Championship from the Sicks on January 9, 2026. It bled out in stages: JC Mateo and Tonga Loa were released in April 2026, and on the June 26 SmackDown in London, Tama and Talla Tonga told Sikoa they had heard from the elders and were out — blaming his Reigns obsession for the June 19 tag title loss. The Tongas went on to win the tag titles without him on August 14.
WWE · 2026–present
With LA Knight
Solo Sikoa, LA Knight (Royce Keys, until he turned)
Not a stable — an alliance of convenience that became the first babyface run of his career. Knight refused to trust him at first, fearing he would crawl back to the Bloodline; the SummerSlam six-man win on August 1 and the Samoan Spike he gave Reigns on August 17 answered that. Royce Keys, the third man at SummerSlam, turned on both of them a week later, returning with OTM on the August 24 Raw.
06
Personas
One ring name in WWE and four distinct jobs inside it: Sefa Fatu (2018–2021) → Solo Sikoa, the enforcer (2021–2024) → the self-styled Tribal Chief (2024–2025) → the MFT's boss (2025–2026) → the man who spiked Roman Reigns (2026–).
SFIndependents · 2018–2021
Sefa Fatu
The debut name, April 29, 2018, trained by his father Rikishi with Kenny King and Sinn Bodhi. A football player first — American River College, then Dickinson State — he came to wrestling late by family standards and won Nevada and Arizona independent titles before WWE signed him on August 30, 2021.
ENWWE · 2021–2024
The Enforcer
Renamed Solo Sikoa in NXT, called up to stand at Roman Reigns' shoulder eleven months later. The character barely spoke; the Samoan Spike did. His NXT North American Championship lasted seven days because the Cardiff run-in worked too well to reverse.
TCWWE · 2024–2025
The self-styled Tribal Chief
The heel turn on his own family: expelling Jimmy Uso, wearing his own Ula Fala, demanding the acknowledgement Reigns had spent four years collecting. Reigns took the claim apart in Tribal Combat on January 6, 2025.
MFTWWE · 2025–2026
The MFT's boss
“My Family Tree” — the same authoritarian idea rebuilt around the Tonga side of the dynasty, with a United States Championship to legitimise it. It ended with every member gone: two released, two walked, one of them now a tag team champion without him.
SSWWE · 2026–present
The Street Champion, unaligned
The first face run of his career, built on refusing to kneel. WWE reporting since August 17 frames him as a standalone threat rather than a member of anyone's faction — including LA Knight's.

2023
The enforcer year
Central to the WrestleMania 39 programme against Cody Rhodes; beats John Cena at Crown Jewel on November 4 in Cena's only match of the year.
2024

With Reigns gone after WrestleMania XL, expels Jimmy Uso, claims the Tribal Chief mantle and recruits Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu. Loses Bloodline Rules to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam and WarGames in November.
2025
Tribal Combat, the US title, and the MFT
Loses Tribal Combat to Reigns on the January 6 Netflix Raw; beats Jacob Fatu for the United States Championship at Night of Champions on June 28; retains in the SummerSlam cage; loses it to Sami Zayn on August 29 and rebrands the group as the MFT.
2026
Tag gold, the collapse, and the turn
Wins the WWE Tag Team Championship with Tama Tonga on January 9; the MFT dissolves on June 26; he allies with LA Knight, wins the SummerSlam six-man on August 1, spikes Roman Reigns on August 17, and is ambushed by Royce Keys and OTM on August 24.
08
Rivalries
Almost all of them are family.
Roman Reigns
The relationship the whole career orbits. Enforcer from September 2022, usurper from April 2024, defeated challenger in Tribal Combat on January 6, 2025 — and on August 17, 2026, when Reigns demanded he kneel and prove loyalty by attacking LA Knight, Sikoa answered with a Samoan Spike. It is the first time the story has cast Sikoa as the sympathetic side of the feud.
His own imported enforcer, and the best matches of his career. Fatu cost him the Money in the Bank ladder match on June 7, 2025; Sikoa took the United States title from him at Night of Champions on June 28 and kept it in the SummerSlam steel cage on August 3. By 2026 they had swapped alignments entirely — Fatu standing with Reigns' Bloodline, Sikoa opposite it.
Cody Rhodes
The inherited feud. Sikoa attacked Rhodes through 2023 as Reigns' proxy, then made it his own in 2024: the Bloodline Rules loss at SummerSlam in Cleveland on August 3, and the tag loss alongside Fatu to Rhodes and a returning Reigns at Bad Blood on October 5.
Sami Zayn
Zayn's SmackDown open challenge on August 29, 2025 ended the US title reign at 62 days, and the MFT spent the autumn of 2025 feuding with him over it. The loss is the hinge of the late-career story: the reign that legitimised the MFT was gone within nine weeks.
The Usos
He expelled Jimmy from the Bloodline in 2024, fought both brothers through the civil war, and faced them again at SummerSlam 2026 from the other side — beating them in the August 1 six-man, then mocking Jey's “run it back” entrance. The August 24 Raw tag against them ended in a no-contest when OTM attacked all four men, which may yet force the brothers and Sikoa onto the same side.

★
62 days as WWE United States Champion
June 28 to August 29, 2025, won from Jacob Fatu at Night of Champions and lost to Sami Zayn's open challenge. Wikipedia calls him the third wrestler in the Anoa'i family to win the title — a single-sourced framing published as reported.
★
WWE Tag Team Champion with a disputed day count
Won January 9, 2026 with Tama Tonga from the Wyatt Sicks; the belts left the MFT on March 20, 2026 against Damian Priest and R-Truth, dropped that night by Tama Tonga and JC Mateo. Wikipedia's 56-day figure for Sikoa's share does not match those endpoints (70 days), so no day count is endorsed here.
★
NXT North American Champion for seven days
Beat Carmelo Hayes on September 13, 2022, defended against Madcap Moss on SmackDown, and vacated on September 20 — the main-roster debut ten days earlier had already made the NXT run untenable.
★
Two Survivor Series WarGames matches, one on each side of the family war
Won in 2022 inside Roman Reigns' Bloodline; lost in 2024 leading his own version against Reigns' loyalists and CM Punk.
★
Beat John Cena at Crown Jewel 2023
November 4, 2023, in Cena's only match of that year — the win WWE used to certify the enforcer as a singles act.
★
Led two factions before turning 34
The usurper Bloodline of 2024-25 and the MFT of 2025-26. Both ended the same way: the membership walked, was expelled, or was released.

Awards: storyline and faction honours, not singles ones
ESPN Best Storyline 2022 and 2023, and PWI Faction of the Year 2022 and 2024, all for the Bloodline (per Wikipedia). No verified singles award is on record, which is its own comment on how WWE has used him.
Two things are deliberately absent. No career win-loss record: no verified total exists and none is invented. And no Crown Jewel 2024 result: one summary claimed Sikoa pinned Roman Reigns there, no second source corroborates it, and it contradicts the verified arc of the civil war, so it is left out entirely.
Because Reigns demanded submission, not partnership. On the August 17, 2026 Raw, Reigns told Sikoa to fall in line and prove his loyalty to the family by attacking LA Knight. Sikoa answered with a Samoan Spike to Reigns and put Jey Uso into the barricade; Knight hit Jimmy Uso with the BFT and the two left together. The groundwork was months old — the MFT had dissolved on June 26 when Tama and Talla Tonga walked out blaming his obsession with Reigns, and Sikoa, Knight and Royce Keys had already beaten The Usos and Jacob Fatu at SummerSlam on August 1.
Is Solo Sikoa really related to The Usos, Roman Reigns and The Rock?
Yes — this part of the storyline is real. He was born Joseph Yokozuna Fatu, the youngest son of Rikishi, which makes The Usos his actual older brothers. Roman Reigns and The Rock are members of the same extended Anoa'i wrestling dynasty. Jacob Fatu is his cousin, the son of Sam Fatu. His middle name honours Yokozuna, another family relation. The alignment wars are fiction; the family tree is not.
What championships has Solo Sikoa held?
Three in WWE: the United States Championship (62 days in 2025, won from Jacob Fatu, lost to Sami Zayn), the WWE Tag Team Championship with Tama Tonga (won January 9, 2026; the belts left the MFT on March 20), and the NXT North American Championship (seven days in September 2022, vacated on main-roster call-up). Before WWE he held Nevada and Arizona independent titles as Sefa Fatu. He has never held a world championship.
What happened to the MFT?
It came apart in stages across 2026. JC Mateo and Tonga Loa were released by WWE in April, part of the post-WrestleMania cuts. On the June 26 SmackDown in London, Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga told Sikoa they had “heard from the elders” and walked out, blaming his fixation on Roman Reigns for the June 19 tag title loss to Damian Priest and R-Truth. The Tongas then won the WWE Tag Team Championship without him on August 14, 2026, with their father Haku at ringside — so the faction Sikoa built holds gold he does not.
Is Solo Sikoa a babyface now, and what brand is he on?
Yes, for the first time in his WWE career, and he is appearing on Raw — the turn happened there on August 17, 2026, and the follow-up tag with LA Knight against The Usos on August 24 did too. As of August 31, 2026 he holds no championship and is fighting on two fronts: Roman Reigns' rebuilt Bloodline on one side, and Royce Keys and OTM — the group that ambushed him, Knight and The Usos on August 24 — on the other.
