WWE Championship belts if Solo Sikoa has his way. It doesn't look like Roman Reigns will be losing his unified Heavyweight Championship anytime soon following his win over Logan Paul at Crown Jewel. The Usos are also on the brink of becoming the longest-reigning WWE Tag Team Champions in the company's history. All they need to do is defeat the previous record holders in The New Day on the November 11 episode of Friday Night SmackDown to make that a reality. That's a ton of unified gold being carried by The Bloodline, but Sikoa wants to get in on the action.
Speaking to United States Champion and Intercontinental Champion. So, yeah one of those or both of them I don't care who has it man. I have my eyes set on those for a reason because I need to have one of my own." [sic] In September, Sikoa made a shocking return to NXT and won the brand's North American Championship. The win led to speculation that the title was getting called up to the main roster along with Solo. That didn't turn out to be the case, as Shawn Michaels forced Sikoa to relinquish the belt because he wasn't sanctioned to wrestle Carmelo Hayes.
Winning The US or IC Title Won't Be Easy For Solo Sikoa
At the beginning of the summer, the thought of Sikoa winning one of the two secondary titles in WWE wouldn't have felt too farfetched. It had been quite some time since Vince McMahon put much thought into building those championships in prestige, and neither title felt like a particularly big deal. That's changed since Triple H took over at the end of July. It quickly became apparent that rebuilding those two championships was high on the list of things The Game wanted to achieve once he had the book. It took a little time to restore both belts to their former glory, and now they are being held by high-end champions that Sikoa might struggle to take down.
On Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins beat Bobby Lashley for the US title in a stellar match at the beginning of October. Triple H hasn't been one to hotshot titles from one performer to another during his time as Head of Creative, and it's tough to imagine him pulling the rug out from underneath Seth Rollins by having him lose to Sikoa now. On SmackDown, Gunther has been caving in the chests of all comers and recently beat Rey Mysterio in a classic David Vs. Goliath-style matchup. It'd take a herculean effort for Sikoa to take down a performer who could one day be a WWE Champion in Gunther, so the Intercontinental title isn't exactly there for the taking either. With tensions between Bloodline bubbling beneath the surface, it'll be interesting to see if WWE finds a way for Sikoa to pursue one of these two championships in the weeks leading up to Survivor Series.
