The Bloodline saga takes another dramatic turn as former allies Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa prepare to settle their differences with championship gold on the line. Their brotherhood has officially crumbled, leading to a blockbuster United States Championship showdown at WWE Night of Champions.
Money in the Bank Betrayal Sparks Championship Feud
The breaking point came during the Money in the Bank ladder match when Jacob Fatu made a statement heard around the wrestling world. As Solo Sikoa climbed toward the briefcase, The Samoan Werewolf struck with devastating impact, costing his former ally the contract opportunity.
The attack wasn’t just physical—it was deeply personal. Fatu’s emotional outburst of “I hate you, Solo!” echoed through the arena, marking the definitive end of their partnership.
Behind-the-Scenes Tension Reaches Breaking Point
According to WWE’s official match preview, the foundation of this feud runs deeper than a single moment of betrayal. Solo Sikoa’s superiority complex had been eating away at their relationship for weeks.
The tension escalated when Sikoa brought JC Mateo into the fold without consulting the US Champion. Even worse, Solo was caught belittling Fatu behind his back, showing complete disrespect for the titleholder’s accomplishments.
“Although Fatu captured the United States Title, Solo seemed to feel he was superior to The Samoan Werewolf, bringing in JC Mateo without Fatu knowing and belittling the titleholder behind his back.”
SmackDown Confrontation Seals the Deal
The June 20 SmackDown episode delivered the final pieces of this explosive puzzle. When Solo attempted to reconcile with his former brother, Fatu rejected the olive branch outright.
What followed was a vicious two-on-one assault as Solo and JC Mateo targeted the US Champion. The attack brought Jimmy Uso rushing to the ring, creating enough chaos to directly lead to the Night of Champions title match announcement.
Night of Champions Stakes Couldn’t Be Higher
This isn’t just another championship defense—it’s a family war with the United States Title serving as the ultimate prize. Fatu has proven himself as a fighting champion, but facing a motivated and bitter Solo Sikoa presents an entirely different challenge.
The Saudi Arabia crowd will witness this personal vendetta unfold on June 28, streaming live at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on Peacock in the United States and Netflix internationally.
Stacked Championship Card Takes Shape
The Fatu vs. Sikoa showdown joins an already impressive Night of Champions lineup. John Cena puts his WWE Championship on the line against the returning CM Punk, while Dominik Mysterio defends his Intercontinental Title against the veteran AJ Styles.
With three major championship matches confirmed, WWE is positioning Night of Champions as a can’t-miss event that could reshape multiple divisions.
The Bloodline’s internal warfare has reached its most personal chapter yet, with championship gold and family pride hanging in the balance. Will Jacob Fatu prove his superiority over Solo Sikoa when it matters most, or can the scorned Sikoa reclaim his place at the top of the Samoan hierarchy?
