Former AEW champion would be a "great addition" to Solo Sikoa's faction, says Konnan 

WWE star Solo Sikoa is a former United States Champion. He comes from the influential Anoaʻi family and is one of the most dominant athletes in the Stamford-based promotion. Furthermore, he is the leader of the My Family Tree (MFT) faction. This group, apart from him, consists of Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, JC Mateo, and Tala Tonga.

Meanwhile, former NXT Champion Samoa Joe is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling. He is the reigning AEW World Trios Champion with his Opps teammates, Katsuyori Shibata and Powerhouse Hobbs. Furthermore, he is a one-time AEW World Champion and a two-time TNT Champion.

The Samoan Submission Machine joined the Jacksonville-based company in 2022 and is one of its most important names. It is not known how long he will work for Tony Khan. However, wrestling veteran Konnan wants him to rejoin World Wrestling Entertainment. Furthermore, the 61-year-old believes that the former AEW World Champion would be a perfect addition to Solo Sikoa's faction.

"I think, even though there are way too many Samoans as there are now, I think he would be a great addition to Solo Sikoa because his team is weak," Konnan said on the most recent episode of Keepin' It 100 OFFICIAL.

Wrestling veteran Jim Cornette gives Solo Sikoa an insulting name

Solo Sikoa became WWE United States Champion by defeating Jacob Fatu at Night of Champions 2025. Interestingly, former WWE personality Jim Cornette is not a fan of The Street Champion.

On an episode of his Drive-Thru podcast this past July, the 64-year-old called Sikoa "Temu Fatu" and also said that his first cousin, Jacob Fatu, is way more talented than him.

He said:

"Solo [Sikoa] is kind of, like, as we talked about a little bit before, a bit, as one of the kids said, the 'Temu Fatu?' So, Solo is a lot of punches and kicks. Then, when Fatu's fighting a guy, he's still taking the bumps and stuff, but he relies on a lot of punches and kicks."

Solo was dethroned as US Champion by Sami Zayn on the August 29, 2025, episode of SmackDown. It remains to be seen what the future holds for him and his faction.
