Solo Sikoa WWE United States Championship win over Jacob Fatu at the WWE Night of Champions event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on June 28, triggered a significant divide within The Bloodline, the famous Anoa’i – Fatu family dynasty. The high-stakes match not only marked Sikoa’s first main roster championship victory, but also set off real tension between key family members, leading to speculation about the future balance within WWE’s most prominent faction.
Solo Sikoa seizes gold with help, sparking turmoil in the Bloodline
At the Night of Champions 2025 premium live event, Solo Sikoa captured the WWE United States Championship by defeating Jacob Fatu, a milestone that confirmed Sikoa’s ascent in WWE. His win came after receiving critical support from JC Mateo, the returning Tonga Loa, and Tala Tonga, who made his debut under his new ring name after performing as Hikuleo. This collective effort proved decisive during a sequence in which Jacob Fatu, known as the Samoan Werewolf, found himself overpowered by Sikoa’s newly strengthened Bloodline faction.
The aftermath of the contest quickly rippled through both the storyline and real-life relationships among the involved wrestlers. Zilla Fatu, who shares both blood ties and a close history with Sikoa and Jacob Fatu, reacted to the match‘s outcome with visible emotion, later expressing public support for Jacob. Zilla had previously teamed with Jacob Fatu on the independent circuit, including at Game Changer Wrestling (GCW), establishing a bond that could potentially influence shifts in future alliances.
Zilla Fatu emphasized his willingness to come to Jacob’s aid if needed, indicating the depth of the family’s connection and the prospect of new reinforcements entering the WWE universe.
Storyline developments continue at Money in the Bank
Tensions between Sikoa and Jacob Fatu intensified following Night of Champions and played out at Money in the Bank, where Jacob Fatu cost Solo Sikoa a critical opportunity to claim the Money in the Bank briefcase. This act escalated their mutual animosity, transforming the rivalry into one of the most personal feuds on WWE’s current roster. The event signaled not only a growing split within the Bloodline, but also set the stage for future showdowns involving extended family members.
On Sikoa’s side, his support includes JC Mateo, Tonga Loa, and Tala Tonga. Meanwhile, Jacob Fatu counts on allies like Jimmy Uso, who has repeatedly assisted him against Sikoa and the reconfigured Bloodline. Jey Uso’s involvement remains a variable, as his historic connections to both Sikoa and Fatu could further complicate the internal dynamics. These overlapping loyalties and betrayals are fueling fan speculation about upcoming confrontations. The anticipation for Zilla Fatu’s arrival in WWE is also mounting, driven by the hope of restoring balance in the ongoing feud.
Potential for full-scale conflict looms ahead
With Solo Sikoa’s U.S. title victory now overshadowed by the family feud, the rivalry with Jacob Fatu appears likely to escalate well beyond championship implications. Sources suggest that animosity between “the Samoan Werewolf” and “the Street Champ” has reached unprecedented levels, especially following betrayals and interference in major matches.
As alliances expand and participants like Tama Tonga remain unpredictable, the stage may be set for a dramatic showdown involving nearly every member of the Bloodline in WWE history. Fans and insiders alike are speculating about whether these tensions could erupt at a marquee event, such as Survivor Series, bringing the ongoing civil war to a dramatic climax and potentially reshaping the WWE landscape. The outcome will determine not only championship status, but also the future of one of wrestling’s most storied families.
