Solo Sikoa’s evolving WWE character appears to be gaining traction with fans, with a new report suggesting his merchandise numbers have been moving in a positive direction.
On the August 17, 2026 edition of WWE RAW, Sikoa made a major statement when he struck World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns with the Samoan Spike. The attack added another layer to Solo’s recent storyline, which has seen WWE gradually move him toward a more babyface role.
That shift may already be connecting with the audience beyond television.
According to WrestleVotes Radio, merchandise sales connected to Sikoa have increased over the past month. A source from Fanatics reportedly indicated that Solo’s recently released Funko Pop has also exceeded expectations in terms of performance.
WWE is now said to be looking to capitalize further on his growing popularity with additional merchandise.
One idea reportedly being developed is a new line featuring the phrase “Pew Pew.” The concept stems from Solo’s recent warning-shot interactions with Jey Uso, which have started to become part of his character presentation.
Sikoa himself appears to be embracing the phrase, regularly sharing fan-created “Pew Pew” artwork through his Instagram Stories.
With WWE continuing to reshape Solo’s character and merchandise reportedly trending upward, the company may have another indication that fans are responding to his new direction.
