Solo launched a corner hip attack while trapping Riddle’s neck in a steel chair. Riddle was carried away from the ring in a stretcher and appeared to be badly hurt.
With Sikoa’s thumb taped in the Umaga’s style , the post-match portion had a further tribute to Umaga.
For those who might be unaware, Umaga tragically passed away very early in 2009 when he was just 36 years old, due to multiple organ failures and heart attack.
Umaga was one of the most respected individuals in the WWE locker room in the middle of the 2000s. After his success in 3-Minute Warning, he was given a new identity as a Samoan savage and remained undefeated for months.
He was a member of Samoan Anoa’i family and younger brother of veteran Rikishi and cousin of The Rock. Solo Sikoa had earlier paid tribute to him on social media.
