As Tama Tonga [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-who-is-tama-tonga-is-he-related-to-roman-reigns-dwayne-the-rock-johnson/] advances to the King of the Ring tournament quarterfinals, the MFT has yet to deliver his first promo. Staying silent, much like Solo Sikoa did, fans wondered what could be the reason for this persona. Comparing him to his work in NJPW, it is clear this was a choice to stay silent. Moreover, fans wondered why Tonga does his head-jerking movement during backstage segments. Does all this add up to the mystery of his character, or does it have a deeper meaning? Tonga was in action on WWE SmackDown. He faced LA Knight in the quarterfinals of the King of the Ring tournament [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-roman-is-on-the-way-bloodline-civil-war-match-expected-online-in-king-of-the-ring-finals-after-raw/]. Winning the match with some help from The Bloodline, he has progressed to the semi-finals. TAMA TONGA NOT TALKING IS A TRIBUTE TO HIS FATHER HAKU When talking about Tonga’s silent appearance in the WWE, one need not look any further than his adoptive father, Haku. Despite delivering a few promos [https://x.com/ovppodcast/status/1699135311132123590] in his career, Haku was always the strong, silent type. Tonga may be following in his footsteps in what could be a tribute to his adoptive father. As far as the backstage head movement and noises are concerned, they are part of his gimmick, which will be explained later. Fans have also noticed him doing this in NJPW. Even his brother Tonga Loa has yet to speak [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-tama-tongas-brother-debuts-cody-rhodes-retains-more-wwe-backlash-twenty-twenty-four-results-recap-highlights/]. Fans speculate that this will follow Solo Sikoa’s storyline, where he didn’t speak much as the enforcer of The Bloodline. Tonga is currently the MFT to Sikoa, which basically makes him the enforcer. Fans are waiting to see where the WWE takes this storyline and who will be the first to feud before Roman Reigns [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roman-reigns/] returns to take The Bloodline back. Another revelation was made that Sikoa is in contact with Reigns. THE POSSIBILITY OF TONGA AND LOA FACING THE USOS The speculated storyline for Reigns upon his return is teaming up with The Usos. While their sibling feud was enjoyable, fans love the two together. The brothers’ chemistry is unmatched [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-jimmy-usos-plans-in-roman-reigns-solo-sikoas-bloodline-story-reportedly-revealed-after-weeks-of-being-sidelined/]. However, the WWE is waiting for Reigns to make his return before reuniting them. If Reigns sees the new Bloodline 2.0, he will require backup to face the young Samoan warriors. There are also rumors that Jacob Fatu will be debuting sometime soon. However, no confirmation has been provided as to when. What do you think of Tonga’s silent demeanor? Tell us in the comments down below. 

With Tama Tonga yet to make a verbal promo, fans wonder why he is the way he is. Here is an explanation for the silent MFT of The Bloodline.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Solo Sikoa: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</strong></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Solo Sikoa?</b></h2>
Along with The Usos, another member of the Anoaʻi family of Samoan wrestlers to take up wrestling as a profession is Solo Sikoa. The <span style="font-weight: 400">NXT North American Champion</span> is an American professional wrestler currently signed with WWE. It was just a few years back that Sikoa made his debut in the company but he has managed to leave an impact by being an active member of the faction The Bloodline.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Solo Sikoa’s early life </b></h2>
Solo Sikoa was born on March 18, 1993, in California, United States to Talisua Fuavai-Fatu and Rikishi. His father was one of the prominent wrestlers of his time winning titles like World Tag Team Championship and Intercontinental Championship. Sikoa has two famous wrestling siblings named Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso. Before parting ways last year, The Usos ruled the WWE as a team and also managed to win the Tag Team Championship a total of eight times.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1906702 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Roman-Reigns-The-Bloodline.png" alt="" width="960" height="540" />

Meanwhile, Sikoa's other three siblings include two brothers named <span style="font-weight: 400">Jeremiah Peniata Fatu and Thamiko T. Fatu and a sister named Thavana Monalisa. His extended family includes the likes of  <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/">The Rock</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roman-reigns/">Roman Reigns</a>, and Yokozuna. Speaking of Solo's education, he went to American River College and Dickinson State University where he excelled in the game of football. </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Solo Sikoa’s wife and children</b></h2>
Solo Sikoa tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend Almia Williams on February 28, 2023, in a private ceremony. Williams is away from the wrestling world and used to work as an Assistant General Manager for a renowned company sometime back. They are parents to two sons named Zion and Za'khi Fatu born on November 21, 2018, and February 7, 2021, respectively.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Solo Sikoa’s net worth 2024 </b></h2>
As per Sportzwiki, Solo Sikoa has a net worth of $3 million. One of the major sources of income for the wrestler is his contract with WWE which pays him <span style="font-weight: 400">$80000 annually. Additionally, he also earns through TikTok and Instagram along with a few acting gigs here and there. </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Solo Sikoa’s career timeline</b></h2>
Solo Sikoa kick-started his wrestling career at the age of 25 in 2018 and competed in the independent circuit for three years under the ring name Sefa Fatu. 2021 saw Sikoa taking a big step in his professional life as he signed a contract with WWE. The wrestler locked horns with the Indian wrestler Jeet Rama in his debut WWE game and scored an easy win. Sikoa's journey in the development zone was short as he quickly impressed everyone with his skills and ruled the NXT.

After Rama, Sikoa hammered Grayson Waller and L.A. Knight in a three-way match and followed it up with victories against Santos Escobar, Andre Chase, and Ru Fenf. The professional wrestler was handed his first defeat by Gunther during the 11th edition of the NXT 2.0 while he also failed to win the North American Championship against Cameron Grimes. Despite making multiple attempts to win against Grimes, Sikoa failed to gain success and ended up injuring himself a few months later.

However, Solo soon made a comeback and shocked everyone during the Clash at the Castle event in 2022. Drew McIntyre was all set to win the WWE Universal Championship against Roman Reigns during the much-hyped clash but Sikoa interrupted at the end moment and helped his cousin defend the title. The heroic act by the wrestler resulted in him getting included in The Bloodline and becoming a member of the same faction as his brothers Jey and Jimmy Uso.
<p dir="ltr">His debut in the main roaster came in September 2022 as he fought against Drew McIntyre. However, it was not a good start for the wrestler as he ended up losing the game. A few days later, Sikoa made his comeback to the NXT as he defeated Hayes to win the North American Champion title. The victory, however, was short-lived as the game was not sanctioned, and thus Solo had to give up his title.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, the California-born continued his domination in the main roaster alongside The Bloodline as he defeated the likes of Sheamus,  The Brawling Brutes, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and Matt Riddle. The Bloodline's impressive winning streak came to a halt during the WWE Night of Champions as Jimmy Uso accidentally attacked Sikao and he and Roman were competing against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. This led to a fight between Jimmy and Reigns and the former left The Bloodline.</p>


[caption id="attachment_2208191" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-2208191 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/solo-sikoa-john-cena.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="960" /> Image Credits : IMAGO[/caption]
<p dir="ltr">Jey Uso sided with his twin brother while Sikoa continued his stint with The Bloodline. The two teams competed against each other at the Money in the Bank 2023 where Jey created history by pinning Reigns. The SummerSlam 2023 again saw a twist as Jimmy changed sides and helped Sikoa and Roman Reigns in defeating Jey Uso. The eldest of the Uso brothers joined the faction again.</p>
<p dir="ltr">One of the main highlights of Sikoa's career was his victory against John Cena at WWE Crown Jewel last year. However, there has been a slump in his form following the event as he has lost all the games.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Solo Sikoa's other career-earning </strong></h2>
Apart from wrestling, Solo Sikoa earns a good amount of money from Instagram and TikTok. The star is quite active on his social media accounts and thus enjoys a decent fan following. Sikoa also once ventured into acting as he essayed the role of Taz in the 2018 film <em>The Destroyer. </em>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Solo Sikoa’s career stats </b></h2>
Since his debut, Sikoa has featured in a total of 159 matches, winning 73 games and losing 81 matches. The professional wrestler has recorded a winning percentage 45.9 while his losing percentage stands at 50.9. Moreover, a total of Sikoa's five matches ended in a draw.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Solo Sikoa’s records</b></h2>
Solo Sikoa was on a roll in 2022 as he remained undefeated from June 2022 to March 2023. The wrestler was going strong in the main roaster but Cody Rhodes defeated him just before Wrestlemania 39 to give him his first loss in singles actions since June 2022. Moreover, this was the first time The Bloodline member was pinned in the main roaster.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Solo Sikoa’s major achievement </b></h2>
Despite being only a few years old in the wrestling world, Solo Sikoa has managed to make a mark by achieving the following feats in his career so far:
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">NXT North American Championship (1 time)</span></li>
