The world of professional wrestling is never short on drama, surprises, and reinventions. This week, fans of both WWE and AEW were treated to major developments involving two of the industry's most talked-about stars: Solo Sikoa and Andrade El Idolo. Each is carving out a fresh path for themselves and their respective factions, with speculation, anticipation, and plenty of intrigue swirling around their next moves.
Let’s start with WWE, where Solo Sikoa has been working to reestablish his presence following a turbulent summer. According to Bodyslam (via Patreon), Sikoa formed the MFT (My Family Tree), a sub-group of the legendary Bloodline faction, after winning the United States Championship at Night of Champions. His triumph came at the expense of former ally Jacob Fatu, marking a significant turning point in his career. But as quickly as Sikoa rose, he faced a setback: on the August 29, 2025 episode of SmackDown, he lost the U.S. Title to Sami Zayn.
What happened next was a curious period of silence. Sikoa and his group—comprising Tonga Loa, JC Mateo, and Talla Tonga—seemed to vanish from the spotlight. Instead, WWE began airing a series of vignettes on Friday nights, showing Sikoa in a new light: a leader working tirelessly to restore order within MFT. Each week, Sikoa reintroduced his teammates, promising big things. Tonga Loa was the first to be brought back into the fold, with Sikoa vowing to secure a WWE Tag Team Championship run for him. The following weeks saw Mateo and Talla Tonga pledge their allegiance to Sikoa, further cementing his authority and the group’s renewed sense of purpose.
But just as fans started to settle into this new era for MFT, Sikoa threw a curveball. On October 3, during a stirring promo, he declared, "I love all of you, but there's something missing for this family to be complete. Once I find that missing part, everyone, and I mean everyone is on notice." The statement, broadcast on SmackDown and quickly circulated on social media, sent the wrestling world into a frenzy. According to fan reactions collected by Tribal Wrestling, speculation ran wild: Could the missing member be Tama Tonga, currently sidelined by injury? Might it be Jimmy Uso, or perhaps even someone from outside WWE like Lance Anoa’i or Zilla Fatu, the son of the late Umaga?
While the answer remains a mystery, the move is a classic WWE storytelling device—keeping fans hooked and tuning in week after week. As one fan noted on X, “WHAT'S SOLO TALKING ABOUT 👀” The guessing game is on, and the only certainty is that the next few Fridays will be must-see TV for anyone invested in the Bloodline’s evolving saga.
Behind the scenes, there’s more to the story. Bodyslam reports that WWE had initially mapped out a different trajectory for Sikoa and MFT following his title loss to Zayn. The plan was for them to enter a heated program against the current WWE Tag Team Champions, The Wyatt Sicks. However, those plans have been shelved—at least for now—in favor of the ongoing vignettes and the slow-burn reintroduction of the group. Sikoa himself acknowledged the personal cost of his journey, declaring in a recent promo, "Do you know what I had to sacrifice to get that championship in my hands, Sami? I've lost my Bloodline, I've lost the Ula Fala, and I've lost my US Title. I've been living in the shadow of others for way too long." The emotional weight behind his words has only fueled speculation about what’s next for him and his faction.
Meanwhile, across the wrestling landscape, AEW saw the return of a familiar face—one who is making history in his own right. Andrade El Idolo officially rejoined the AEW roster on October 4, 2025, becoming the first wrestler ever to jump from WWE to AEW, back to WWE, and then return to AEW. According to coverage by WhatCulture, Andrade’s previous AEW tenure saw him lead the Family Office faction, team with RUSH, align with CJ Perry to feud with Miro, and challenge for the TNT Title, though he never quite reached the top of the mountain.
Now, fans and analysts alike are buzzing about what Andrade’s second AEW run might bring. There’s a consensus that he needs a singles title run—specifically, a reign as TNT Champion. The TNT Title has a storied tradition of open challenges and show-stealing matches, a formula that worked wonders for Cody Rhodes, Darby Allin, and others. Andrade, with his size, presence, and in-ring prowess, seems tailor-made for this kind of championship run. Potential opponents are plentiful: Orange Cassidy, Komander, Katsuyori Shibara, Kyle O’Reilly, and Powerhouse Hobbs are just a few names that could deliver must-see bouts with Andrade at the helm.
Another tantalizing prospect is a long-awaited rubber match with PAC. In 2021, Andrade and PAC lit up AEW Rampage with two critically acclaimed matches, each man claiming a victory. The series, left unresolved, has left fans hungry for a definitive third encounter. As WhatCulture notes, “Their chemistry was clear, with a mixture of hard-hitting strikes, big power moves, and high-flying offense, crafting matches that the audience went absolutely wild for.” A blow-off match at a major AEW pay-per-view would be a fitting stage for these two to settle the score.
Tag team aspirations are also on the table. Andrade’s alliance with RUSH, though sporadic in his first AEW stint, showed flashes of brilliance. With the AEW tag division undergoing a rebuild in 2025, there’s plenty of room for Andrade and RUSH to cement themselves as dominant champions. Their potential matchups with teams like The Young Bucks, FTR, and Jurassic Express could inject new life into the division.
Andrade’s versatility means he could also bolster AEW’s trios division. Whether as part of La Faccion Ingobernable or alongside the Don Callis Family, Andrade could finally capture gold in the company’s burgeoning trios scene. The possibility of teaming with Hechicero and El Clon, for instance, has fans and pundits alike salivating at the potential for high-octane, lucha-inspired action.
Let’s not forget Andrade’s impressive showing in the 2023 Continental Classic tournament, where he tangled with the likes of Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli. With AEW’s roster only growing stronger, a return to the Continental Classic in 2025 could see Andrade face new challenges from stars like Mark Briscoe, Will Ospreay, Kazuchika Okada, and more.
Perhaps the most immediate storyline, however, is Andrade’s recent confrontation with Kenny Omega. At AEW’s sixth-year anniversary of Dynamite on October 2, 2025, Andrade made a dramatic return by attacking Omega, setting the stage for a potentially explosive feud. The two have a history, having battled for the AAA Mega Title in 2021, but AEW has yet to fully explore this rivalry on its own turf. Fans are eager to see these two world-class athletes collide on a major AEW pay-per-view.
In just one week, the wrestling world has been reminded of how quickly fortunes can shift and how new chapters are always being written. Whether it’s the search for one missing member in WWE’s MFT or the renewed ambitions of Andrade El Idolo in AEW, the only guarantee is that fans are in for a wild, unpredictable ride.
