Solo Sikoa appearance added to WWE SmackDown
After returning to SmackDown last week, Solo Sikoa will be making another appearance tonight.
WWE has announced that Sikoa will be on tonight’s SmackDown episode from Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. He targeted Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes last Friday, appearing on SmackDown for the first time in three weeks. Sikoa had been away since the fallout of his Tribal Combat loss to Roman Reigns on Raw’s Netflix premiere. There was an angle on the January 17 SmackDown where Sikoa walked out without saying a word as he was being booed by the crowd.
