The last we saw Solo Sikoa was on the January 31st edition of the Blue brand show. This was Sikoa&#8217;s first appearance since losing his bout against Romain Reigns in a Tribal Combat for the Ula Fala and recognition as Tribal Chief of the Anoa\u02bbi family on the Netflix debut of WWE Raw.<\/p>\n<p>On that January 31st episode, the WWE Universe all thought that we would hear the plans going forward for Solo Sikoa. Unfortunately, with a mic in hand and the attention of everyone in attendance on him, Solo would choose not to speak, quickly exiting the venue through the crowd without a word delivered.<\/p>\n<p>After that puzzling display, we didn&#8217;t see Solo Sikoa, not on WWE SmackDown, not on Raw, and not even on the WWE Royal Rumble 2025 PLE. Now, still a word not spoken, the public has their answer. Solo Sikoa is gunning for Cody Rhodes once again.<\/p>\n<p>Sikoa would make his return on the February 7th, 2025 edition of WWE SmackDown, delivering a vicious Samoan Spike on the Undisputed WWE Champion right after picking up the victory for him and Jey Uso over Solo&#8217;s cohorts Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga to end the show.<\/p>\n<p>The vicious spoke volumes, and it&#8217;s clear that Solo Sikoa is not quite done with his reign of terror.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">NO WAY!! \ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n<p>Solo Sikoa is back and he just attacked <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CodyRhodes?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@CodyRhodes<\/a>!! \ud83d\ude31<a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SmackDown?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#SmackDown<\/a> <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/elWsloeZ57\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/elWsloeZ57<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 WWE (@WWE) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE\/status\/1888075826760908918?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 8, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><em>What did you think about the return of Solo Sikoa on WWE SmackDown?<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><strong>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
