At WWE SummerSlam 2025, Solo Sikoa will defend the United States Championship against Jacob Fatu in a Steel Cage match, a contest billed for its high stakes and intense rivalry. The MFT leader, who claimed the title from the Samoan Werewolf with help from his faction, faces a determined Fatu seeking revenge in what promises to be a dramatic showdown.
Omission of Custom Side Plates Raises Questions About Solo Sikoa’s Title Reign
Typically, WWE champions receive custom side plates on their belts to signify their ownership, but Solo Sikoa’s United States Championship belt remains without these personalized details. Despite having held the title for nearly a month, Sikoa’s belt lacks this traditional mark, which has not gone unnoticed by fans. Observers spotted this detail on a recent episode of the blue brand, interpreting it as a possible subtle clue from WWE hinting that Sikoa might lose the title at SummerSlam.
Jacob Fatu Gains Significant Support With Jimmy Uso Joining His Side
In the previous encounter between Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at WWE Night of Champions 2025, Fatu had to compete without allies, which contributed to his defeat given Sikoa’s faction’s numerical advantage. This time, the dynamic shifts significantly as Jacob Fatu is accompanied by Jimmy Uso. The presence of Uso means that any interference attempts by Sikoa’s stablemates during the Steel Cage match could be countered, giving Fatu a better chance to overcome the champion inside the cage.
Potential Addition of ‘Blood vs. Blood’ Stipulation Could Raise the Stakes Further
Though the match is currently scheduled as a Steel Cage bout, WWE may introduce an additional stipulation to intensify the rivalry. Recent reports suggest that this confrontation could evolve into a ‘Blood vs. Blood’ match, a designation emphasizing the deeply personal nature of this contest. While this enhancement has not been officially confirmed, it could be announced on the final SmackDown episode before SummerSlam, adding more drama to the Biggest Party of the Summer.
This setup positions the Solo Sikoa vs Jacob Fatu SummerSlam match as one of the most anticipated battles of 2025, combining physical intensity and personal vendettas. How WWE plans to capitalize on these dynamics may affect the title’s future and the direction of both Superstars’ storylines moving forward.
