With 30 fierce men and women vying to punch their tickets to WrestleMania, and a few other title matches in the corner, we moved to this year’s Royal Rumble season with hype. After a jacked-up Women’s Battle Royal with Bayley acing it, we then got four men into action to clinch custody of the WWE Universal Championship belt. Although the match featured a lot of riveting moves and adrenaline-triggering segments, fans were not happy with WWE employing the same tactics by bringing out Solo Sioka to provide the Big Dog with a favor.

Randy Orton appeared first to kick-start the drama. Then AJ Styles, LA Knight, and finally the Tribal Chief came down to the stage, buckling up by putting their everything in the attempt to win. Although the three men were constantly trying to beat Reigns down, the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion escaped their clutches and made them pay. But the Viper was still on fire, handing out RKOs to AJ Styles, LA Knight, and Roman Reigns until Solo Sikoa came along and ruined it all.

Roman Reigns retained as he always does, and the WWE Universe blamed none other than the Enforcer for doing his leader’s bidding. Sikao created a moment for his leader to capitalize on and Reigns took due advantage. He managed to pin Styles to score the win and extend his historic title reign.

There should be no second thought on Solo Sikoa passing the Tribal Chief loyalty test with grace. He has kept on being Reigns’ key man through thick and thin and repeatedly saved his honor in major title matches. As a reward for his undying commitment, Roman Reigns has rightly nominated him as the heir to The Bloodline. However, The Tribal Chief must be cautious about even the most trusted man in his faction before handing over his kingdom to him. The Head of the Table indeed trusts Solo Sikoa to safeguard him in every peril like a true commander. However, he doesn’t share a long-formed bond with Sikoa outside the WWE ring.

So, the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion is quite in the dark about Sikoa’s vulnerabilities, strong points, and hidden traits or motivations. This lack of understanding can take a toll on him in the future if Sikoa aspires to reach the helm at the soonest. Also, Sikoa’s close alliance with the Wise Man made it a more viable deal.
