Solo Sikoa declared himself the temporary leader of The Bloodline during Roman Reigns‘ absence. Following the loss of the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40, Reigns took a break from the WWE and stopped appearing on their shows. To reflect the hierarchical change, Sikoa has granted himself another nickname.
Under Sikoa’s temporary command, there were significant changes to The Bloodline, including the recruitment of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa and the expulsion of Jimmy Uso. The stable has shown a more aggressive stance with Sikoa at the helm. Despite this, Paul Heyman, Reigns’ advisor, cautioned Sikoa against making autonomous decisions.
However, it seems like ‘The Enforcer’ is in the mood to listen to anyone. After all, the Trible Heir is now arguably listening to a different Tribal Chief. And now, he is looking forward to being one of the most dominant superstars on the WWE roster. The new Bloodline is already feuding with Kevin Owens and Randy Orton, but we all know that the endgame will be a feud with Roman Reigns. And the preparations have begun, starting with a new nickname for Solo Sikoa.

Solo Sikoa has become a major face in the WWE right now. So much so that he has earned the nicknames ‘The Enforcer’ and ‘The Street Champion of the Island’, and now it seems like he is being given another name, one that perfectly fits his wrestling style. Sikoa’s fighting style is very reminiscent of Umaga, another member of the Anoa’i family and the uncle of Solo Sikoa. In fact, he also uses the finisher used by his late uncle. Relying on his brute strength and the Samoan Spike to finish his opponents. So now, in his Instagram bio, Sikoa has featured a new nickname, ‘The Hard Hitter’.
While the origin of the nickname is a mystery, it could be from his brawl style of fighting, unlike the wrestling-driven approach of other WWE superstars. And who can deny the fact that a Samoan spike from the Tribal Heir looks as brutal as they get? But when will the WWE start using the nickname?
While the enforcer is often used on TV and ‘The Street Champion of the Island’ is on his WWE roster page, the Hard Hitter has yet to make a debut. Can we get to see it when Roman Reigns possibly returns at SummerSlam? Only time will tell. But for now, Sikoa has other tasks in hand. A major one is a feud with none other than The American Nightmare. A matchup where Sikoa could live upto to his nickname. Do you think he would be able to dethrone the Universal Champion?
