Solo Sikoa is set to face a mystery opponent in the first round of the Last Time is Now Tournament tonight on WWE RAW. There has been a lot of speculation about who The Street Champion could face on the red-branded show, with many names from NXT mentioned.
However, the creative team could pull off an incredible twist by having a six-time world champion return to the promotion after four years for a shocking appearance.
Former WWE Champion Jeff Hardy has been making appearances on NXT over the past few months, owing to the partnership with TNA. While his presence has remained restricted to the developmental brand, he could make a one-off appearance on the main roster to face Solo Sikoa when RAW airs from Madison Square Garden.
The video package announcing the Last Time is Now Tournament confirmed that there would be participants who weren’t part of WWE. Zack Ryder was revealed as one of those names on SmackDown last Friday. Tonight, Hardy could make a one-time appearance to put Sikoa over in the first round, still representing TNA on the main roster.
However, this angle remains speculation for now, and it remains to be seen who steps up to face Solo Sikoa on RAW tonight.
