WWE SmackDown May 16: Solo Sikoa addressed the WWE Universe in the opening segment of WWE SmackDown and introduced them to Jeff Cobb, who made his debut at Backlash. He then took a dig at Roman Reigns, his cousin, for ¡®ruining¡¯ the family name by losing to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40 and vowed to rectify. This, however, did not go down well with Jacob Fatu.
Solo Sikoa projected himself as the leader and pride of his family on SmackDown and even implied that he was responsible for Jacob Fatu being the US Champion. ¡®The Samoan Werewolf¡¯ took exception to this and said that he plans to continue his reign with or without him. Solo then cut him short and asked him to show his loyalty to him again.?
This led to tension between the two men. LA Knight¡¯s music and the issues were seemingly forgotten. ¡®The Megastar¡¯ then pulled JC out of the ring and assaulted him for costing him the US title at Backlash.?
Jacob Fatu has gotten over with the WWE Universe in virtually no time. As such, a face turn is on the cards. Given what happened on SmackDown, there is a strong chance of Solo Sikoa and JC eventually turning on him. This would lead to a long feud between Jacob Fatu and Solo, culminating in a match at a Premium Live Event.
