Solo Sikoa had a major slip-up on the March 14, 2025, episode of WWE SmackDown—one that never made it to TV thanks to some quick editing from WWE.
During a pre-taped promo for last week’s SmackDown, Solo lost his grip on the script and accidentally let an f-bomb fly mid-sentence. The moment was caught during the live international feed but was swiftly scrubbed from the version that aired later in the U.S. on the USA Network.
In the original uncut clip, Sikoa tried to say, “Why don’t you do us a favor and step aside,” but stumbled into, “Why doh f**—why don’t you do us a favor and step aside?”* The moment was so unexpected that even Jimmy Uso couldn’t help but laugh on camera, completely breaking character.
When the segment hit American TV, the line had already been changed to: “Why don’t you step aside since you’re known to be the failure?”—with zero trace of the earlier botch.
Because the promo was taped, WWE had time to fix the issue for U.S. broadcast. Still, the slip-up remains online thanks to eagle-eyed fans watching through other platforms, including international Netflix streams, who saw the unedited version.
