At WWE Night of Champions 2025, Solo Sikoa secured the United States Championship by defeating Jacob Fatu, aided by JC Mateo, the returning Tonga Loa, and the debuting Talla Tonga. In response to this setback, Jacob Fatu appears ready to assemble a group of wrestlers to challenge Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline faction.
Potential Allies for Jacob Fatu’s Emerging Faction
Following his loss, Jacob Fatu, known as The Samoan Werewolf, is reportedly seeking allies to strengthen his position against The New Bloodline. One likely addition could be Jimmy Uso, who has previously aligned with Fatu in opposition to The Bloodline. During the lead-up to the United States Championship match between Fatu and Sikoa, Uso notably offered assistance to Fatu against their common adversaries.
The two competitors were on opposite sides during last year’s Survivor Series Bloodline War Games match, but their shared grievances against The Bloodline have brought them together. They teamed up on the July 4 edition of Friday Night SmackDown to defeat Solo Sikoa and JC Mateo, signaling a potential partnership moving forward.
After suffering attacks from The New Bloodline, Jacob Fatu may prioritize Jimmy Uso as his initial recruit to mount a counterattack against his former allies.
