Solo Sikoa could refuse to rejoin The Bloodline on WWE Raw in Buffalo

Solo Sikoa could reject a return to The Bloodline on WWE Raw in Buffalo on August 17, 2026, despite losing last week’s stipulation match to Jey Uso, the programme’s storyline suggests. The match result, affected by interference from Jimmy Uso, set up a segment expected to address Sikoa’s status with Roman Reigns and the faction tonight.

Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa agreed to an impromptu main event with a clear condition: if Jey won, Sikoa would have to rejoin The Bloodline; a Solo victory would allow him to remain independent. Jey secured the victory after Jimmy Uso’s interference distracted Solo, which, under the stipulation, means Sikoa is due to return to the faction and come under Roman Reigns’ leadership on Raw. Solo is identified in the storyline as The Street Champion, a label used in the build to the match and subsequent segment.

One creative option presented in the original report would see Solo appear to comply by accepting Roman Reigns’ invitation and the faction’s welcome necklace, briefly standing with the group and throwing up the “We the Ones” sign before abruptly changing course. The scenario would have Solo stop as he leaves the ring, turn toward Reigns and throw the necklace into The OTC’s face, making clear he no longer wants to be part of the faction. Under that reading, Sikoa would have technically fulfilled the stipulation by rejoining, even if his membership lasted only moments.

The segment could then continue with Solo avoiding immediate retaliation, exiting through the crowd and celebrating with fans to underline his independence. The report suggests he might perform his trademark "Phew Phew" gesture before disappearing into the audience, creating a short but decisive face turn in the storyline.

If WWE opts for a different direction, Roman Reigns could escalate by ordering Jacob Fatu and The Usos to punish Solo for refusing to fall in line, the piece noted. That path could include a surprise reinforcement: Zilla Fatu, who made his NXT debut on August 11 and has been viewed as a potential future Bloodline member; reports mentioned in the article say WWE currently plans to keep him in NXT, but a main roster appearance would provide immediate impact.

The match outcome stands: Jey Uso defeated Solo Sikoa in the stipulation bout that required Sikoa to return to The Bloodline if he lost, a condition WWE’s creative team could interpret to allow a brief rejoining followed by an exit. The storyline is scheduled to play out on WWE Raw in Buffalo tonight, where promoters may present either the acceptance-then-rejection angle or an attack involving backup forces.
