After Saturday Night’s Main Event XL, Paul Heyman might seek a new member to fill Seth Rollins’ spot in his faction as Rollins recovers from an injury. Solo Sikoa successfully defended his United States Championship title with support from Talla Tonga and the MFT, but there are rumors that a member of Sikoa’s group could betray him.
In the lead-up to the event, SmackDown featured LA Knight beginning the show with a confrontation aimed at The Visionary and his follower, the Oracle. Paul Heyman interrupted Knight’s segment and later encountered him again alongside Solo Sikoa and his faction, before Jimmy Uso intervened. Nick Aldis then arranged a tag team match between the two sides to close the show.
Distraction and Interference Lead to Possible Faction Betrayal
During the tag team match, Paul Heyman distracted LA Knight, enabling Talla Tonga to strike Knight at ringside. This diversion allowed Big Jim to roll up Solo Sikoa for a surprising pinfall victory. As a result, speculation has emerged that Tonga might betray Solo Sikoa and join The Oracle and Paul Heyman’s faction, temporarily replacing Seth Rollins.
Although this storyline possibility appears credible within the wrestling narrative, no official confirmation has been announced to date.
Details of Seth Rollins’ Injury and Its Impact on Faction Dynamics
Seth Rollins suffered a knee injury during his match against LA Knight in Atlanta last Saturday. While attempting a Moonsault, Rollins tweaked his knee, which allowed Knight to capitalize and secure the win. Rollins’ injury may sideline him for some time, leaving his faction vulnerable.
In a recent episode of SmackDown, Solo Sikoa and his MFT confronted Paul Heyman, demanding that Heyman leave or risk being thrown through a table, referencing a similar incident from the previous year. This confrontation suggests that with Rollins out, Solo Sikoa and his allies could target Heyman and his group.
Nonetheless, this possible development remains speculative, and it is uncertain how these faction rivalries will evolve in the coming weeks.
