First of all. Anoa'i is a dope name, Fatu is pretty cool too, WWE is obnoxious with their Key and Peele naming ideas. When they launched the Bloodline, they should've all just dropped the trademarked names.
But Solo Sikoa, the brother of Jimmy and Jey Uso? C'mon, that's dumb. At the very least, he should've been Solo Uso, as in, the Uso who goes for singles titles.
Everyone is stupid but me.

His story is that he was the one who was casted out by the rest of the family so that's why he doesn't have a name connected to them and why his first name is "Solo."
Don't ask why the same family who casted him became cool with him again. Vince didn't care about his NXT story.

Because in kayfabe, he was given up on then abandoned by Rikishi. Hence why he's not a Uso.

Also Solo Uso sounds awful. There's twins, they're the Usos. There's only one of him, he's Solo Uso. Makes perfect sense to me.

Also Solo Uso sounds awful. This from someone with a roman numeral for a name. That's right, I'm callin' your ass out.

"Uso" is kind of silly, anyway, because Uso is just Samoan for "Brother".
Though, that's less stupid than Carlito's brother being named Cousin in Spanish.

Trio Uso, and they call him Trey. Their precocious, never before mentioned kid brother who's always getting up to something.
Also I would have had him debut by showing Jimmy and Jey waiting outside an arena as Rikishi pulls up and Trey gets out of the car and says "*I'm* here now!" Then Jimmy and Jey give each other exasperated looks because when Trey is around, well, he's always getting up to something!

Make him an entity, not a person
THE SOLO COMMUNITY in reference to flat-earther AJ.

Make him an entity, not a person THE SOLO COMMUNITY in reference to flat-earther AJ. Even better, make The Solo Community like the One Warrior Nation and have him be a lone wolf in that regard. It'll also be the only time I say the words "Heck, even bring in Brutus Beefcake!" without it being sarcastic or ironic!

Don't ask why the same family who casted him became cool with him again. Vince didn't care about his NXT story. Vince wasn't even in creative when Solo joined the Main Roster. Solo joined Bloodline in September, Vince was gone in June/July So I guess Triple H didn't care.

They pretty openly acknowledge a lot of the wrestlers use gimmick names, so it doesn’t really bother me.

Why isn't his name Solo: A Star Wars Story?

Should have been The Lone Rangers. Putting aside the Bloodline for a second it’s great that you can now say: AIRHEADS, starting Academy Award Winner Brendan Fraser, Golden Globe Winner Steve Buscemi and Independent Spirit Award Winner Adam Sandler. Also, there’s three of them. They’re not exactly “lone”, are they??

Solo joined Bloodline in September, Vince was gone in June/July So I guess Triple H didn't care. Reports stated that Solo was discussed to being called up to join the Bloodline around June/July that same year, it was just pushed back. Not only that but Solo himself said prior to his NXT debut plans were for him to join the main roster and be with the Usos. He was always going to be with his family regardless of the storyline.

As badass as Solo has been at times in the Bloodline, I have always hated that they just threw away his whole backstory of being abandoned and being the king of the street fight scene just so he could help Roman win some more matches.
