Solo Sikoa, the current WWE United States Champion and leader of the MFT, is facing new challenges on SmackDown as hints emerge about a possible rivalry involving a mysterious stalker. After defeating Jacob Fatu to claim the US Title, Solo continues his feud with Fatu, while a surprising backstage encounter suggests WWE is preparing for a fresh conflict, potentially threatening Sikoa’s hold on the championship.
A New Threat Appears Behind the Scenes
During a recent SmackDown episode, the MFT was shown in a backstage segment when Erick Rowan from the Wyatt Sicks was seen watching them closely. With Uncle Howdy leading the Wyatt Sicks, it appears Rowan may be acting on his orders, stalking Solo’s faction. This development raises speculation about an eventual clash between Solo and Uncle Howdy, which could lead to the masked competitor challenging for the US Title.
The possibility of Uncle Howdy reemerging in a singles role has not been seen in a while, and this angle could set up a major storyline. If Howdy succeeds in defeating Solo, it would mark a surprising title change and elevate the status of the Wyatt Sicks to new heights within WWE’s hierarchy.
Implications for the Factions and Solo Sikoa’s Leadership
If the Wyatt Sicks secure the US Title, WWE could use this to push Uncle Howdy as a standout singles star. Currently holding the WWE Tag Team Championship, the faction could reinforce their dominance in Sports Entertainment by adding the US Title to their collection. This move would intensify the competition between the MFT and Wyatt Sicks, two of SmackDown’s key groups.
Losing the championship could also have repercussions within the Bloodline Saga, where title losses often lead to shifts in faction leadership or membership. Solo Sikoa might face fallout if he is perceived as weak for losing the belt, which could result in his expulsion from the MFT.
As of now, no official confirmation has been given, and fans will need to watch SmackDown closely to see how these storylines unfold.
Potential for a Larger Faction Rivalry on SmackDown
Beyond a direct Solo Sikoa versus Uncle Howdy feud, WWE might be considering a broader faction war between the MFT and the Wyatt Sicks. The MFT’s influence has grown, especially with Talla Tonga joining their ranks, while the Wyatt Sicks continue to hold the tag team titles and dominate the blue brand.
A faction war could revitalize SmackDown’s competitive landscape, as such large-scale battles have been rare recently. This scenario offers WWE an opportunity to create high-stakes matches and storylines, elevating the importance of both groups and captivating the WWE Universe.
