Former WWE Champion Wrestles First Match in Nearly Two Months
Jimmy Uso made his in-ring comeback on WWE SmackDown, May 16, after an injury by Gunther, facing Solo Sikoa and Rey Fenix.
Joseph Yokozuna Fatu (born March 18, 1993) is an American professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Solo Sikoa.
After Fatu played college football at American River College in Sacramento, he began his professional wrestling career in 2018 under the ring name Sefa Fatu on the independent circuit. He then signed with WWE in 2021 and was assigned to the NXT brand as Solo Sikoa before being called up to the main roster a year later, debuting at Clash at the Castle. He joined The Bloodline stable at first as a silent enforcer, then was repackaged as the self-proclaimed "Tribal Chief" before the stable phased out its name from January 2025. In the WWE, he held the NXT North American Championship once.
As the son of Rikishi and brother of Jonathan and Joshua, Fatu is a member of the Anoaʻi family of Samoan wrestlers.
