When it comes to WWE, looks and grooming make a great contribution to painting the Kayfabe of superstars with the right shade. Be it a certain walking style, a tattoo, or a distinguished hairstyle, every minute detail is heavily noticed and analyzed by fans, enabling them to connect deeply with the storyline and the gimmicks. This rudimentary WWE thing kind of gets doubled when the Bloodline troops are in question. People widely know The Samoan cousins for flaunting their tribal traditions all over their bodies and looks. However, the recent experiment, the new Tribal Chief Solo Sikoa, has undergone regarding his hair rubbed people on the internet the wrong way and got brutally trolled.

Tonight’s KOTR quarterfinal bout between Tonga and Knight on SmackDown saw Solo Sikoa provide some crucial distraction, leading to a victory for the Tangoan star. But noticeably less hair on his head got people talking the most, overpowering his in-ring antics.

Solo Sikoa is surpassing a huge transitional phase in his career and the Bloodline saga amidst the absence of Roman Reigns. The Big Dog’s chosen Tribal heir went to take over the faction in recent weeks, claiming himself as the new Tribal Chief. In a shell-shocking course of events, Sikoa brought in ‘MFT’ Tama Tonga and put the Wise man under his thumb to oust the younger Uso from the team. While this new character work of his garnered ample praise from all across the wrestling fraternity, the amateur experiment in hairstyle awkwardly got in the way. People even questioned his relevance big time following the poorly modified look.

Any seasoned Bloodline fan would have been aware of the fact that Samoans place extreme importance on their hair. Roman Reigns’ big, dark hair has very little to do with personal style or fashion. Rather, it mostly represents the popular culture knitted to his family line and the weight of his role as the Tribal Chief. Tribal Chiefs in Samoan culture deem their hair the source of strength and pride. Cutting one’s hair is a mark of disrespect and dishonor. Hence Reigns’ never opted for the haircut that Sikoa did, leaving his legitimacy as the new leader of the group in severe jeopardy. Fans sense the lack of aura in comparison to Roman Reigns and can’t keep calm on this.

Fans have serious problems with baldness. Previously, they held nothing back to roast the Leader of Cenations for getting an extremely short haircut, dubbing it as close to bald. Now, Sikoa faced the same wrath, with fans turning on his half-bald look and pretending to find the trace of hair out of it.

The trolling spree continues with fans digging out some more riotous comparisons.
