Former WWE NXT North American Champion and top WWE SmackDown Superstar Solo Sikoa recently spoke with the New York Post on topics such as who pitched the idea of him paying tribute to Umaga on an episode of WWE Monday Night RAW.
Solo Sikoa said:
"The idea came from Hunter (Levesque)." "I think it was Paul Heyman's idea, too, so Hunter wanted to run it by me. He goes, 'I know your uncle was a big part of your guys' family. I know what he meant to you guys. I wanted to ask you if you would be OK using the spike?'"
"He was like, 'I know he passed away and yesterday was his anniversary,' which was a Sunday and the next day was Raw. He goes, 'I think it will be cool if you pay a tribute to him on TV by using the spike.' I was like, 'You know what man? Yeah, let's do it.'"
