• Solo Sikoa Paid Tribute To Umaga On Tonight’s RAW

WWE Ruthless Aggression Era Veteran Umaga passed away on December 4th 2009 at the age 36.

One day after his 13th death anniversary, Bloodline member Solo Sikoa paid tribute to The Samoan Bulldozer by doing a couple of his iconic moves.

You can watch it below:

Umaga died due to a heart attack caused by acute toxicity. Toxicology reports revealed that he had the drugs hydrocodone (a painkiller), carisoprodol (Soma, a muscle relaxant) and diazepam (Valium) in his system.

Chris Jericho once said the following about Vince McMahon’s reaction to Umaga’s death:

“I vividly remember when he passed away. We were in Saudi Arabia. Not Saudi Arabia, sorry, Iraq, doing the Tribute To The Troops.

And I remember how legit sad Vince was about it because, at the time, I think they had let him go because he wouldn’t go to rehab and I remember Vince really saying, like, ‘I tried. I did not want this to happen. I couldn’t do anything. Like, if you’re not going to do it on your own, there’s nothing we can do.’

But, he was, like, legit torn up about it because I think Ekkie, in [McMahon’s] mind, had so much more he could have done if he hadn’t fallen into those traps that happen to so many of the brothers over the years.”
