WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) Hall of Famer Rikishi Fatu is in full proud-dad mode as he shares a short and sweet birthday shoutout to his son, Solo Sikoa, whose real name is Joseph Yokozuna Fatu, as he celebrates his birthday today.

Coming from serious wrestling royalty, Solo is the younger brother of WWE twins Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso. Outside the ring, he is focused on family life. He is married to Almia Williams and is a proud father to his two sons, Zion Fatu and Za’khi Christopher Fatu.

Solo began his wrestling journey in 2018 on the independent circuit before signing with WWE in 2021, and he has been making serious noise ever since. Known for his dominant presence, he rose as a key force in The Bloodline, even stepping into the “Tribal Chief” spotlight and proving he is carving out a legacy of his own.
