Summary Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, and Royce Keys triumphed over The Bloodline in an excellent trios match, further solidifying Sikoa's unexpected rise as a top babyface. The decisive moment saw Solo deliver a Samoan Spike to his brother Jimmy Uso, paving the way for LA Knight to hit a BFT on Jey Uso for the victory. Sikoa, who recently aligned with Knight and newcomer Keys after being abandoned by his Bloodline, has defied critics who doubted his likability, with fans enthusiastically embracing "SoloMania." His viral promo and strong reception at US Bank Stadium underscore his growing popularity, making him a breakout star alongside the ever-popular LA Knight. The match showcased all competitors, with Solo even mocking Jey Uso, delighting the crowd.
Solo Sikoa continued to ascend as the most popular star in WWE as Sikoa, LA Knight and Royce Keys scored a win over the Bloodline at WWE SummerSlam 2026. A Samoan Spike from Solo on his own brother Jimmy led to a BFT from LA Knight on Jey Uso for the win. Everybody was given their moment to shine in an excellent trios match match.
Though both trios have been cheered as babyfaces, the story of this feud is the relatively surprising breakout of Solo Sikoa, who has emerged as a popular babyface and the most likable WWE Superstar in this entire feud. After being abandoned by his fellow MFTs on SmackDown, Solo Sikoa switched up on his entire bloodline by aligning himself with LA Knight and newcomer Royce Keys.
Many were skeptical of Solo’s babyface status given his ties to the Bloodline. Even outside of the ring, clueless wrestling tabloid columnists like Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter insisted Solo was “ not likable ” and not fit to be a babyface.
Between Solo’s viral promo on Raw and his reception tonight, boy is he proving critics wrong. SoloMania roared into WrestleMania as Solo’s antics endeared him to a big crowd in US Bank Stadium of over 35,000.
