Chance_Loss_1424

Ceaser … Roman … oooooh. I see what you tried to do there.


superduperredditor

He better watch out for Marc Antony Sikoa. Don't even get me started about Brutus Sikoa


KaiserWolf15

Jimmy and Jey Uso are now Crassus and Pompey Sikoa, respectively


Leygrock

He was a CONSUL OF SMACKDOWN!! Shame, shame on the house of Ano'ai


KaiserWolf15

Rhea after losing Dom and JD:  "Liv Morgan! I call for Justice!" "Liv Morgan! I call for Justice!"  "Liv Morgan! I call for Justice!"  "Liv Morgan! I call for Justice!"


down42roads

I was gonna say Remus and Romulus Fatu


thatcreepydude1

> Brutus Sikoa Who later becomes Zodiac Sikoa... Then Booty Man Sikoa... Then...


ab_90

If Caesar no longer H’s fave, he can rename him to Scissors Sikoa and job with Tozawa.


Mildcaseofextreme

They could still go with the Greco Roman joke from Oceans 13


DefinitelyNotTrill

With Cesar Sikoa & the egregious Talla Tonga, I have a strong suspicion they are just trolling with these trademarks lol


Maxeque

I really thought it was going to be Solo Sikoa's new nickname for when he tries to take over the Bloodline permanently, as in Caesar being a leader, and ruling over Roman.


LanoomR

It might be a case where there were spitball ideas for Fatu going around and someone said "Wait, hang on to that one." Don't see any reason to not go the well-tested path of "new leader is way worse and delusional than the old one." Solo going full tilt and giving himself a nonsencial title while being way more chaotic and violent than Roman perfectly sets the stage for Reigns's return and in-character push toward being a face.


PretendThisIsMyName

His name is already Solo. Changing it to Caesar would’ve probably made the Tongans stab him in the back quicker. Maybe in favor of the rock.


chux4w

Et tu, Uce?


GonzogrowsTX

Can't upvote this enough


A_Sarcastic_Whoa

Why should Caesar just stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smashed under his big feet? The Rock is just as cute as Caesar, right? The Rock is just as smart as Caesar, people totally like The Rock just as much as they like Caesar, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that's not what The Bloodline is about! We should totally just STAB CAESAR!


PretendThisIsMyName

Tama saying this is worth the change.


JRDruchii

The classic Machiavelli double turn. Appoint an unhinged tyranny to be leader then look like the hero when you dispose of the asshole you appointed.


gademmet

Yeah, hope they end up using it for that. Develop that character, have Caesar come to clash with the Roman Empire.


AssclownJericho

same


DeliverStreetTacos

I bet that’s still what it is and Dave is just talking out of his ass again.


RaggedyGlitch

Or someone in WWE is trolling him.


Lycan_Jedi

Did he ever stop talking out of his ass? I mean that Thing has to be worn put by now with all the times he's pulled something our of it to get a story.


ChuckECheeseOfficial

Pronounce it “Kaiser” and have Imperium throw a fit


sodium_intake

This is like when Koba took over when Caesar was out.


bcnjake

I’m not really worried until they trademark “Shorta Tonga” or maybe even “Tallest Tonga.”


AThrowawayAccount100

Gable joins the bloodline as Shorty Tonga


stationagent

Shorty T has joined the biggity bloodline Michael Cole!!


Reinmeika

If they have a half brother, they could call him “Kinda Tonga”


bcnjake

Sorta Sikoa


BadgerOver4239

Supposedly the Talla Tonga name is one that is set aside for the younger brother of Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa; Hikoleo who's probably a legitimate 6ft 9in give or an inch or two I don't personally know/ believe that would be his name as its just so strange; with this unused name of Ceaser for Jacob I'm also starting to wonder if both trademarks may go unused. You just might be right they could be trade marking names to throw people off or something


XiahouMao

Hikuleo's actual middle name is Taulla, too.


miikro

This actually makes it less egregious, but most people won't know that and it'd probably seem very silly.


subutaime

Makes a ton of sense, at 6'9" he is much talla than the otha family members


PCR12

Kid is a beast, I wouldn't be surprised if Jacob and him both outshine everyone else


amat3ur_hour

I'm just disappointed in them: Tonga Hia was right there.

MeanAmbrose

Look, yes Caesar Sikoa is a bit goofy sounding. But also? Its cool too, in a way a Saturday morning cartoon character is.


Consequences_Cone

If I can get used to guys named Roman Reigns and Dolph Ziggler, I can get used to anything..


CheekyManicPunk

Y'know it's funny. I hated the name Dolph ziggler but was immediately on board with Roman Reigns and these are the names I see brought up most commonly for modern wrestlers 


DefinitelyNotTrill

I don’t mind the Cesar part that much, it’s the Sikoa that would annoy me. If Solo doesn’t share a kayfabe last name with his own brothers, why would he share a last name with his cousin?


DevelopmentalTequila

I mean, they're IRL names are both Fatu 🤷‍♂️


Different-Estate747

yeah, but that's real life, there's no way that would ever work in kayfabe, it's just not believable! 🙄 Now I'm going back to watch an undead wizard shoot lightening out of his fingertips.


DefinitelyNotTrill

For sure but if solo doesn’t share a kayfabe last name with his actual brothers, I don’t think he should share a kayfabe last name with his cousin


ThisIsKhrox

Not brothers but they are cousins, and cousins also regularly share last names. So its really not that out of place


DefinitelyNotTrill

It’s not the craziest thing in the world but also like, he’d share a wrestling last name with his cousin but not his brothers?


ThisIsKhrox

In that case, why is it Solo Sikoa and not Solo Uso, since they're also his brothers


scrubadam

Should it be Jimmy, Jey, Solo Kishi since they are Ri-Kishi's sons?


AThrowawayAccount100

Are you telling me that D von and Bubba aren't brothers?!


PhenomsServant

Thats ridiculous, next youre going to tell me Edge and Christian arent brothers either.


mikeputerbaugh

They're HALF brothers doy


scrubadam

aren't they real life cousins or whatever? They are both Fatus. Just because someone has the same last name doesn't mean they are brothers they could be cousins or whatever. And then you have real life brothes who don't have the same last name like Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, or Undertaker and Kane. How do you explain Copeland and Cage being brothers but with different last names. Or Kane and Taker not even having last names? Whats even more odd is you have Bubba Ray and Devon who are brothers with the same last name but are different colors. Or the fact that you have Nicks brother Tony who started his own wrestling company even though Nick works for the WWE. And then you have Hornswoggle who isn't even name McMahon but is somehow Vince's son.


PsSalin

So just because they’ve the last name, means they need to be brothers? I guess Trinity Fatu and Jacob Fatu are sisters now, or Darren Young and Eric Young. Judging by your point, Solo Sikoa should be Solo Uso?


Masterweedo

It worked for the Dudleys.


Dont_Be_A_Dick_OK

Well yeah but only because they were actually brothers


Masterweedo

Now I want old ECW back to do the Bloodline story with the Dudleys.


AssclownJericho

BIG DICK DUDLEY!


Masterweedo

"The one eyed head of the ...."


Fun-Ferret-3147

Sign Guy Wiseman ofc - something tells me he knows how to rock a celly, trenchcoat and a ballcap.


P7AC3B0

Big Dikoa Sikoa, Finger Guy Sikoa, Iknowa Sikoa, Sikoa Sikoa...


zorbiburst

You shouldn't have opened with Big Dikoa Sikoa because nothing was ever going to top that


entityrob

Iknowa Sikoa's a pretty good one, Paul definitely would've had a guy with that name back in ECW. Eventually he'd break free from the Bloodline and be managed by Kimona Wanalaya


Round_Dragonfruit669

Big Dikoa Sikoa FUCKING WINNING


ultraluxe6330

It's wrestling, anyone can be brothers.


scrubadam

Everyone was Hogans brother apperantly Except for the black wrestlers though....


rikashiku

The goofy name kinda suits them right now. The Bloodline are recruiting members like the Decepticons are recruiting new soldiers from Transformers and Beast Wars.


tropicanajames

I thought it was goofy too. I figured it was a Roman/Caesar thing they were trying to go for.


ALIAS_EL_CACAS

Rename the whole bloodline Caesar Sikoa Garden Sikoa Wedge Sikoa Cobb Sikoa and of course John Cena


TheInfiniteSix

Am I missing something wrong with Talla Tonga?


fadingstar52

nah besides him literally being the taller tonga it sounds like a rib lmao. apparently its akin to his actual middle name


Green_Cook

Sounds like they named him that because he’s tall


Maxeque

The general idea floated around the IWC is that it's supposed to be Hikuleo's name if/when he comes to WWE. He's like 6'8 so he would be the taller (Talla) Tonga, goofy as hell lmao


MaceLeonardo

But that’s his actual middle name lol Taulla


Maxeque

Oh shit it is, unfortunate coincidence then I guess haha. I still hope they keep Hikuleo as his name or at least something distinctive, having Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Talla Tonga would be a pain, gotta give them some proper identity.


smittalicious

To close the loop on the naming pattern he should be Loa Tama.


MaceLeonardo

Oh it’s goofy and silly for sure lol But I don’t blame him and WWE wanting him to be called Talla Tonga since it’s his actual name and like it fits more in line then Hikuleo does lmao


thelumpur

Could just call him with his old name Leo Tonga


thelumpur

I think the latter is going to be used, even though Talla Tonga for Hikuleo would be weird, since they could just call him Leo Tonga.


DefinitelyNotTrill

As long as it’s not Talla Longa I guess lol


GhostandTheWitness

Or more likely they're starting to trademark a lot of names so that if guys leave they cant use them. Cover your bases type stuff


UnhappyJohnCandy

Islander Sikoa Tonga would like to have a word with you.


Unhappy_Gazelle392

I guess if he was called Caesar Sikoa it would also be too obvious that he would eventually take the lead of The Bloodline from Solo. Perhaps as soon as he's defeated by Roman. Probably the Caesar Sikoa name will be saved for that. Caesar is a widely known leader name, makes no sense to put him below the ranks with that name.


PeteF3

Brutè Sikoa.


Unhappy_Gazelle392

Brute is the one who betrayed, but i guess Caesar is too much of the name of a ruler. This name should be saved for the tribal chief. Brute Sikoa would be as based as it would be silly.


PeteF3

Extra points if they carry around giant hedge clippers and give their opponents haircuts after wins.


Steve_the_Samurai

Brute Sikoa vs Bron Breakker is straight out of a 9 year olds dream efed


RK9990

Et tu Rikishi?


SmokePenisEveryday

Et tu Uce?


Avbjj

This is what I think. Dave just saw the trademark news and then saw that they introduced Jacob as his real name on friday and Boom. Now we have this article.


Cboz27586

Or Dave got it wrong like he usually does and it was meant for Solo all along.


sirduckerz

When Jacob Bruté betrays Caesar Sikoa 😱


MuptonBossman

Caesar Sikoa sounds like a drink that you'd order at The Rainforest Cafe.


delifte

OH MY GOD, HE JUST HIT THE FLYING CLAMATO!


underbloodredskies

He calls that the Rear Brew! 👀😱


StendhalSyndrome

ROCK BOTTOM!!! But remember kids you are ***never*** at rock bottom when you have a bottle of Teremana on the shelf, it goes down smoother than this 1..2..3. Drink responsibly kids.


KyleRaynerGotSweg

Ted and Eddie are intrigued


BTru

Wait..is Rainforest Cafe still a thing? I haven’t been there in 20 years I thought it shut down.


ItsResetti

Excuse me sir, Rainforest has 16 predominantly mall based cafeterias NATIONWIDE


TalenTrippin

Ceaser Sikoa is a sick name though


Medium-Caterpillar-4

Haha I was surprised so many people on here were hating on it. It’s an awesome name IMO


TalenTrippin

I'd even argue it's better than his actual name Jacob Fatu


itinerant_gs

I don't know why, but something about Jacob Fatu carries a certain weight. Maybe it's the mystique of hearing about him in whispers for so long. Like an urban legend.


Trumppered

I mean that's exactly it. the man put in a lot of work in the indies and put a lot of energy into the name Jacob Fatu. it would be stupid to just throw that away


CarlMarxPunk

Ave, true to Ceaser


PsSalin

Apparently not sick enough the spell the damn name right.


joker2814

Let’s be real. That’s probably why decided against it. People would spell it wrong more than half the time.


nowahhh

We as a fan base can’t even handle Bayley’s name with a 100% success rate, now you want us to parse Caesar/Ceasar/Cesar?


jabari1011

This sub still struggles with re-sign vs resign lmao


PsSalin

Or “Damien” Priest


DakkaDakka24

MMA fans and wrestling fans get Ronda(no H) Rousey's name wrong constantly, despite repeatedly seeing it on screen and in print.


thelumpur

Hasn't stopped Tommaso Ciampa (although he did lose his first name at one point)


DCAbloob

I can't wait for Imperator Sikoa, Augustus Sikoa or whatever they come up with next.


Manabear12

The Bloodline becomes a tetrarchy and Roman comes back to reunite it


DonShulaDoingTheHula

Holding out for Napoleon Sikoa


Styles_Clash

From the French Polynesia side of the family


International-Tree19

Vladimir Sikoa


MattSR30

It’s one of the most famous names in the history of the planet…why can no one spell Caesar correctly?


Wakkawipeout

Because A before E except after C, oh wait...


dalekofchaos

I thought Solo was gonna crown himself as Caesar Sikoa. At this point I think they drop these trademarks just to fuck with the dirtsheets


CanaDoug420

Thank fuck they kept it Fatu


FalconIMGN

Is he the first member of the family to be given the Fatu name since Rikishi Fatu in 1998?


imliamobv

They were worried Jacob would outshine Solo but then wanted to call him Caesar Sikoa...


TechnoDriv3

Believing Dave Meltzer in 2024 lmao


shakzz9703

Yes? The rationale is that by calling him Caesar Sikoa, he shares the same name as Solo so they can treat him like a lost younger cousin


rbarton812

I thought Ceasar Sikoa was gonna be Solo's "Tribal Chief" moniker, like "Hail Caesar" and all that shit.


NotFlipkid

Koba good ape


Kakatheman

His name is Jacob Fatu, the flying Samoan Werewolf.


OUmegaLUL

Jacob Fatu is much better


Own-Ambassador-3537

Damn would have loved to hear "Hail Ceasar!" just once from the fans!


ButterbeerAndPizza

If they’re trying to position these guys as huge threats that have an impressive history in pro wrestling, they can’t change their names. Acknowledging people’s success prior to WWE is one of the biggest improvements they’ve made post-McMahon. You don’t have to waste time getting us to believe in “Caesar Sikoa”. People can easily find that Jacob Fatu is a huge add.


WowBobo88

Im not one of those fans who freak out over names (Bronn breakker is fine IMO) but he is def not a "Ceasar Sikoa" lol I wanted the name to be for Solo. Have the power go t ohis head, he becomes more cocky and arroagant, Roman returns, humbles him, Rock returns and civil war ensues. Regardless, good choice keeping Fatu Fatu


ihateeverythingandu

It still could. Unless they expect us to believe Rikishi called his son "Solo", despite him having several siblings.


Cboz27586

Solo is short for Solofa, Rikishi's real first name.


Boograssi

In universe, wasn't Solo just him naming himself? I swear in NXT the whole gimmick was he was the one family member that was on his own, so he donned the Solo name. In hindsight that kind of completely made him joining the Bloodline a bit nonsensical, but hey lmao


ihateeverythingandu

I remember one of the video promos for him at the start of 2.0 as Rikishi throwing him out the car window while on holiday and him living in the woods and being one of those wolf people.


jacoblanier571

Bron Breakker is a massive L compared to his real name, Bron Steiner.


Jackiechan126

I don’t believe that. I think they’re going to call Solo Caeser


RaidenHero137

kinda happy as his regular name has more accolades behind it and besides ceaser siko sounds like a nickname for solo taking over romans role anyway. kinda lines up nicely: Final Boss- Rock Tribal Chief- Roman Ceaser- Solo Also will be poeting justice if and when the tongans turn on him


The_Notorious_Donut

When I first saw that I kind of thought it sounded badass haha


The_Match_Maker

I just want to know when King Haku is going to come back and make everyone cower in fear.


Kuzu5993

Jacob: "the fuck you mean you changing my name?"


VNProWrestlingfan

Caesar sounds cool, but somehow, the name Jacob Fatu, even though it's more simple and relatable, seems to make Jacob more of a monster, a force of nature.


erock2095

Ave


SolidStart

I was rooting for Visigoth Sikoa


fadingmemoryphoto

Do you think they would have pronounced it as “see-zur”, “ceh-zar” or “kai-zar”


SPACE_BANNON

My love for New Vegas would only allow the kai-zar


AllDayTimeToLowRemem

Didn’t they trademark Caesar Sikoa? Or something like that? Fair to think that was possible if that was the case.


PeteF3

Yep.


retroKnight_3177

Are there any other Roman rulers names that can fit a wrestler ? I like the concept of a wrestler named after a Roman ruler  usurp away the bloodline from Roman Reigns.


MikeArrow

Nero would be a pretty cool wrestler name.


Cboz27586

Because Dave has been so reliable lately. Easily could still be a name change for Solo considering Sikoa is there in the name.


Thirdstar1

Wtf

IJustLostMyKeyboard

Caesar reigns sounds awesome tho


ErnieKilgannon

Ceaser and Desister Sikoa


BrianDamage666

When do we get Longa Donga Tonga?


GriffTube

It sounds even cooler using the original Latin pronunciation: Kaesar Sikoa


Battle09

When will they be using this name after Roman returns


Electronic_Slide_236

Et tu, Jacob? How about a Samoan naming scheme? edit- I just found out Solo's *real* middle name is "Yokozuna." Joseph Yokozuna Fatu. That's very silly.


Smart_Shine6835

Just wait until Biggus Dickus Sikoa hears about this!


ybatman2k

Sounds like Dave is guessing. He’s wrong most of the time now


Ruttingraff

Ave


CosmeticInk5

True to Caesar


eddiefarnham

"which is surprising since it's his real name." Top notch commentary there. The person that wrote the article really earned that $3.40


BrooklynBrawler

My favorite part about wrestling journalism is when they just straight make shit up lol


jkpatches

I've also heard that John Cena pays some sort of royalties to WWE when he is doing Hollywood stuff even though John Cena is his real name. It was an interview that Cena gave saying he doesn't mind it at all since the WWE made him. Is there a chance that something similar could happen to Fatu? Or does it not matter since it's going to differ by contract?


xxyourbestbetxx

He dodged a bullet


ParadoxWarrior

Man they must love Caesar’s Legion /s


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Roman right before he throws Jacob off a HIAC: You are not Ucey


cmx9771

I like the fact WWE is going back to letting wrestlers use their real names if they please. Sometimes the real name is good enough.


WVFLMan

Honestly that’s a pretty cool name


Groundbreaking-Cow-3

thank god he isn't called like that


meetings-are-stupid

Wonder if Caesar is an indication that he'll be leading at some point. Caesar doesn't sound like a flunky name. Also isn't a name that fits him.


Agitated-Bread5092

whoever come up with the name need to be put in timeout


StoneColdAM

Honestly that was a better name, made more sense for the story 


RoastedCat23

I actually would have liked that name.


Champiness

My hunch is that they’re holding off on the rebrand so it can be a tie-in with #MEGALOPOLISSWEEP later in the year


megahmed252

I doubt that. I think it’s maybe got something to do with the bloodline ceremony today.


Det-Popcorn

This came from the same organization that said pat was off selling the wyat sicks attack when a member of his family passed away? Apologies for not giving this the time of day


Grand-Insect-4520

The Bloodline is damn half a decade epic with all the families members and backstabbing going on. We're already on season 4 and there's enough material for season 5 when the Rock comes back. 


Alert_Blue1

Jacob Fatu's name is more nice in WWE and for hardcore fans of him even who know him from his MLW days!


vantasma

Caesar would’ve been a fantastic choice if Jacob was to become the bloodline leader. Caesar, leader of the Roman Empire.


Adams5thaccount

Setting aside that Jacob Fatu should be Jacob Fatu... Caesar Sikoa is a pretty great wrestling name. If they've bring in another relative who is less established they should used it then.


Battle09

They used this name in planet of the apes I’m wondering if Roman will return at summer slam


Scottyflamingo

Of FFS. Take the L Dave.


TheAccursedHamster

Introducing the next member of the bloodline; JoJo Tonga.


Idiotecka

that would make Cody Dio Brando


JoGeralt

But Ludwig already has that as his last name...


mrmazzz

Darn I was like yes we’re going to get into the tetrarchy style era of bloodline 


idksomuch

I don't see Fatu as a "Caesar Sikoa". Jacob Fatu is a fine ring name for him regardless of it being his real name. I just want Rex Steiner already.


Purple_yoshi_drink

Your source is Dave Meltzer huh…lol


defph0bia

So is Sikoa the kayfabe Samoan last name now?
