WWE is preparing for its first-ever two-night SummerSlam event, where Triple H faces the challenge of revitalizing a product that many fans believe has lost its excitement. One key question is whether Triple H will make a startling move by taking the SummerSlam 2025 Solo Sikoa title away, generating controversy and attention for the event.
Recent speculation among fans suggests that Solo Sikoa could lose his United States Championship to Jacob Fatu at SummerSlam, especially after Fatu pinned Sikoa on SmackDown last week. Within WWE traditions, such a pin often foreshadows an impending title change, leading many to believe Sikoa’s reign might end soon. However, despite this momentum for change, the likelihood of Sikoa dropping the title so quickly appears slim.
Sikoa secured the United States Championship at Night of Champions just last month, marking his first singles title victory on WWE’s main roster—a moment fans had eagerly awaited. Removing the championship from him at SummerSlam, barely after his win, risks disappointing viewers and causing backlash. Such a move could be seen as mishandling his booking, especially given recent efforts by WWE to strengthen his faction by adding Talla Tonga and bringing back Tonga Loa. These alliances hint at significant plans for the 32-year-old champion.
Taking the title from Solo Sikoa so soon could damage his momentum and credibility, potentially leading to a setback in his career trajectory on SmackDown. WWE itself has already faced criticism for its recent creative direction, and a controversial booking decision at such a high-profile event might deepen fan frustration. Despite these concerns, the scenario remains speculative at this point.
Considering a Tag Team Match as a Platform for Solo Sikoa and His Faction
In recent weeks, Solo Sikoa has actively rebuilt his faction on SmackDown, replacing Jacob Fatu by adding JC Mateo and recruiting Talla Tonga alongside Tonga Loa. This revitalized group presents an opportunity for WWE to showcase Sikoa’s leadership and versatility at SummerSlam 2025 by booking him in a tag team match rather than a straightforward singles title defense.
Such a match might pit The Street Champion and his faction against Jacob Fatu’s group, which could include Jimmy Uso and other allies. Jimmy Uso has displayed strong camaraderie with Fatu and has ongoing conflicts with Sikoa’s faction, positioning him as a natural participant in this feud. This lineup could produce a dynamic and exciting multi-person tag team match, making SummerSlam more compelling.
Given Solo Sikoa’s character and recent developments, a singles title match might not fully leverage his strengths. A multi-person tag contest allows him to blend humor and athleticism, maintaining a lively pace while giving all participants room to shine. This possibility aligns well with WWE’s intent to deliver an entertaining and high-energy showcase at the biggest party of the summer, although this remains a matter of speculation at this stage.
Looking ahead, Triple H’s choices regarding Solo Sikoa’s booking will significantly impact fan reception of SummerSlam 2025 and WWE’s overall trajectory. Whether by preserving Sikoa’s title reign or by constructing a memorable tag team showdown, the decisions made will shape not only the event’s success but also the champion’s future within the company.
