WWE reportedly makes massive Jacob Fatu change following Money in the Bank
Jacob Fatu made his presence felt at Money in the Bank, preventing Solo Sikoa from becoming Mr. MITB. Following the huge moment on Saturday night, WWE has reportedly made some changes to Fatu's character.
Before Saturday's premium live event, the reigning United States Champion caught Sikoa talking badly about him to JC Mateo. The former Tribal Chief even called him "all gas, no brains."
Sikoa was about to win the MITB briefcase before The Samoan Werewolf finally uttered the words "I hate you" to complete his turn. This move officially began Fatu's feud with his real-life cousin.
One fan asked Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer regarding Jacob Fatu's current status following MITB. Meltzer reported that Fatu would now be a face, while Solo Sikoa and JC Mateo would be heels.
The seeds of the feud between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa were first planted in January after the latter lost the Ula Fala to Roman Reigns. Fatu has since carved out his own path, winning the United States Championship at WrestleMania 41.
With the Tongans out with an injury, Sikoa recruited JC Mateo, who doesn't see eye-to-eye with Fatu. It will be interesting to see how The Samoan Werewolf combats The Bloodline duo moving forward. Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa also have a hard choice to make upon their return.
Solo Sikoa reacts to Jacob Fatu's betrayal
After starting as a silent Enforcer, Solo Sikoa has turned into a hilarious character on WWE television. His antics over the past few months have not gone unnoticed, with his mockery of opponents being one of the highlights of the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Sikoa was caught off guard by Jacob Fatu's betrayal, though his reaction to it was still funny and on par with his current gimmick. Nevertheless, he shared a photo of himself and Fatu on his Instagram Story, with the latter's face being marked by a big red X.
It will be interesting to see how Solo Sikoa handles the situation this Friday on SmackDown.
