Jey and Jimmy Uso made Solo Sikoa finish school first.
Before signing with WWE in 2021, Solo Sikoa graduated from Dickinson State University after spending some time with at American River College.
As it turns out, Solo Sikoa just wanted to jump into the world of wrestling, but Jimmy and Jey Uso made him finish college first.
“From a real perspective, I’m so happy for him man. It brings joy to see him out there on SmackDown because I know this story and what it took for him to get there. He did put in work. Solo has a degree in college, he’s the smartest one out of all of us. He just wanted to wrestle. The rule was, me and my brother told him, we’ll get you in but you need to finish school first. Finish school and he’s like, I want to go. I want to Orlando, I want to go to NXT. To see him now in the position today man, he’s killing it. I tell him, you’re shining right now Uce. Man, keep it up. Doesn’t it bring a boss look to it? It’s tribal chief but it’s his own way, his own style," Jey Uso said while speaking to The Ringer for a new interview.
Elsewhere in the interview, Uso commented on Rikishi's criticisms of his creative direction in WWE. Learn more here.
