WWE’s storytelling often centers around its prominent wrestlers, including Solo Sikoa WWE SmackDown botch has become a recent example of how the company’s narrative can sometimes fall apart. Last week on SmackDown, the storyline took a sharp turn when Solo Sikoa was arrested, but the follow-up left viewers confused due to missing explanations and continuity gaps.
During the show, a car accident led to Tonga Loa, a member of Sikoa’s faction, being injured. In the aftermath, Solo Sikoa framed Jacob Fatu for the incident, resulting in Fatu’s arrest and questioning by the police. However, Fatu quickly returned to the show after being cleared, while Solo Sikoa himself was arrested following the emergence of a video proving his culpability. Despite the arrest, WWE offered no clarification regarding his release or any storyline progression, and the commentary team remained silent on the matter, sparking frustration among fans.
Ongoing Tensions Between Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu
The conflict between Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu has been a prominent theme since Fatu cost Sikoa a win at Money in the Bank several weeks ago. Their feud has escalated with the involvement of Sikoa’s faction, MFT, as they have targeted Fatu, who has received support from Jimmy Uso. The dynamic between these groups continues to evolve, but recent storytelling gaps have made it harder for fans to follow the narrative clearly.
Despite the odds, Fatu and Jimmy Uso remain outnumbered by MFT, leaving the story’s direction uncertain as viewers anticipate future developments and potential new alliances.
Storytelling Issues Highlighted by WWE’s Lack of Continuity
The failure to address Solo Sikoa’s arrest aftermath on SmackDown exposed a significant flaw in WWE’s current storytelling approach. Arrest storylines have been a recurring element in WWE under both Vince McMahon and Triple H’s leadership, typically followed by explanations showing how the wrestler exited jail to maintain kayfabe continuity. This recent omission has diminished the storyline’s coherence and led many fans to criticize WWE for disregarding narrative consistency.
As WWE continues to build rivalries and character development through these arcs, ensuring clear and logical storytelling will be essential to retaining audience engagement and trust. Fans remain eager to see how WWE resolves these tensions and whether Solo Sikoa’s story will regain clarity in upcoming episodes.
