As Wrestlelamia.com wrote on X, Sikoa now has a shocking 0-34 losing streak after his win against Cena last year. This is sad news for Sikoa who has shown so much promise and potential in the industry.

Fans on X commented on this aspect and some wrote that his match with Cena ruined his career despite his win. Others wrote that he must move on and pursue a successful career at AEW (All Elite Wrestling). Here are their reactions on X,

However, as he became part of the wrestling world, he started to bond with his brothers and he loved finally being able to share things with them. Reigns even gave important advice to Sikoa, which was to stay out of trouble and to work hard. He said,

“It was always Roman and those two. I was literally always by myself. I was always playing by myself, playing with my toys, playing with my video games. Whenever those three had gotten around each other, it was always those three… I never really go to hang around them how I wanted to because I seen it. Man, they got a cool connection. I want to have that.”

“I think I’m catching up from all these years, especially the age difference. So I’m very, very happy, especially being brought up on the main roster with the family. I can actually get to catch up to them and talk to them how I want to talk to them now since we’re all adults. Stay out of trouble, you know what I mean? Keep your head down and just work hard. The eyes up, the ears open, the mouth shut.”

The cousins had an ugly falling out in 2023, which culminated at the 2023 Money in the Bank where The Usos defeated Reigns and Sikoa. Sikoa is now having a lull phase in his career and desperately needs a big win soon.
