The ending of the most recent episode of SmackDown garnered a lot of attention online. Solo Sikoa came face-to-face with John Cena before blindsiding him with an attack. However, Sikoa would have to retreat after AJ Styles came out to even the odds against him and Jimmy Uso. Recently, the Enforcer posted a photo on his Instagram story, sending a message to Cena.

It showed the comparison of his face-off with the Cenation Leader with one the latter had with Umaga during their rivalry. As many might know, the late superstar is part of the Anoa’i family as well. Also, Sikoa uses the Samoan Spike to honor Umaga’s legacy. Therefore, Solo Sikoa seemingly paid homage to one of the most destructive wrestlers of the Ruthless Aggression Era with his recent story.

John Cena and Umaga squared off in 2007 in back-to-back pay-per-view battles. Interestingly, the Franchise Player was the one to end the Samoan legend’s undefeated streak. The most notable bout was their brutal Last Man Standing match at that year’s Royal Rumble.
