Solo Sikoa paid tribute to the late WWE Superstar Umaga on Monday night’s episode of RAW.
Following the Undisputed WWE Tag Team title match, Sikoa attacked Matt Riddle in a post-match beatdown. Sikoa hit Owens with the Asiatic spike and the Samoan Bulldozer hip attack, moves regularly used by Umaga. The tribute came one day after what would have been Umaga’s 49th birthday.
Umaga was a respected performer for WWE in the mid-2000s. He was part of the Three Minute Warning faction, along with Rosey and Rico. He was later repackaged as Umaga, an undefeated, unstoppable “Samoan Bulldozer” who competed in one of the main events at WrestleMania 23. He fought against Bobby Lashley with Vince McMahon and Donald Trump at ringside in the “Battle of the Billionaires” match.
The Usos retained their tag team titles on Monday night’s show against Matt Riddle and Kevin Owens. The Usos will move on to face Sheamus and Butch on this week’s episode of WWE Smackdown. It was announced that Butch would take the place of Drew McIntyre in the match, who is medically unable to compete.
