Sami Zayn is scheduled to challenge Solo Sikoa for the United States Championship on the upcoming episode of SmackDown. While Sikoa’s faction, the MFTs, may try to intervene to keep the title, the opposing faction, The Wyatt Sicks, might unexpectedly assist Zayn, paving the way for him to capture the United States Championship for the first time in his WWE career.
The Wyatt Sicks’ Growing Presence on WWE SmackDown
The Wyatt Sicks consist of prominent members including Uncle Howdy, better known as Bo Dallas, Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Nikki Cross. This faction has gained momentum after Lumis and Gacy secured the WWE Tag Team Championship on SmackDown, signaling their strong influence within the brand.
Recently, The Wyatt Sicks have been shown stalking Solo Sikoa’s MFT faction, hinting at a brewing rivalry. If The Wyatt Sicks interfere during the United States Championship match, they could help Zayn defeat Sikoa and claim the title, setting up potential new conflicts on the show.
Possible Feud Between The Wyatt Sicks and MFTs
Should The Wyatt Sicks play a role in Zayn winning the championship, this could ignite a full-scale feud with Solo Sikoa’s MFT faction on SmackDown. Such a rivalry could culminate in high-stakes matches, including a possible blockbuster contest for the WWE Tag Team Championship between these two aggressive factions.
While this storyline holds promise, it remains unconfirmed and speculative at this stage. Fans will need to tune in to SmackDown to see how this situation unfolds.
Jacob Fatu’s Potential Heel Turn and United States Title Ambitions
In a related development, rumors suggest that Jacob Fatu could turn heel by attacking Sami Zayn during or after the SmackDown event. Despite unsuccessful attempts to regain the United States Championship after his loss to Solo Sikoa at Night of Champions 2025, Fatu appears undeterred in his pursuit of the title.
With Sikoa and the MFT potentially distracted by The Wyatt Sicks‘ interference, Fatu might seize the opportunity to re-enter the United States Championship scene. A dramatic heel turn, involving a betrayal of Zayn and a subsequent title challenge, could add another compelling twist to the ongoing storyline.
However, like the assistance from The Wyatt Sicks, this potential angle involving Jacob Fatu remains speculative with no official confirmation to date.
