How Will Jacob Fatu Respond to Solo Sikoa’s Ultimatum?
WWE

For months, tension had been brewing between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa, with everyone knowing that things would come to blows eventually. At Money in the Bank, Fatu came to the ring to help Sikoa. But when Sikoa nearly had his hands on the briefcase, Fatu held onto his leg to prevent him from moving.

He then yelled, “I hate you, Solo!” before throwing him down from the ladder, costing him a world title opportunity. On the June 13, 2025 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Sikoa addressed Fatu via video message.

Sikoa said he was the person who got him all the fame and fortune. To him, he was nothing before he brought him into the company. All would be forgiven if he told him, “I love you, Solo!” like he had done numerous times before.

Will Jacob Fatu apologize for his actions, or will he turn his back on family?

Jacob Fatu Will Regret His Decision and Rejoin Solo Sikoa

Years before Jacob Fatu ever joined WWE, The Bloodline was run by Roman Reigns. There were a lot of good times, but there were also some bad times.

Those bad times made Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Sami Zayn leave The Bloodline. However, they always found their way back to Reigns. He used the same technique that Solo Sikoa is using now.

Sikoa is guilt-tripping Fatu, saying that he’ll be nothing without him. The same thing happened with Reigns, and everyone came crawling back without a second thought. The one person who was there through everything was Sikoa.

Sikoa took valuable lessons from Reigns on how to treat the other members of The Bloodline. Unfortunately, some of those wrong behaviors have rubbed off on him. If Fatu really believes what Sikoa is saying, he’ll come back to the man he betrayed.

Jacob Fatu Might Have Some Tricks Up His Sleeve

If Jacob Fatu refuses to work with Solo Sikoa, he can be the dominant singles star that he was on the indies. The problem with that is Sikoa has backup in JC Mateo. He’ll be at a two-on-one disadvantage if he says no.

But what if someone else was at the arena to even the odds? Hikuleo debuted last week in a SmackDown dark match. There’s a good chance that was a test to gauge audience reaction before his debut.

Tonga Loa could also be making his way back soon. He suffered a torn bicep at Survivor Series: WarGames in November, which put him out of action for seven or eight months. It’s been nearly seven months since then, so he’s right on track for a return.

If Fatu says no, there’s a good chance he’ll have backup, in case Mateo and Sikoa try to attack.

What Will Jacob Fatu Choose to Do?

No matter what Jacob Fatu says on Friday, it’ll have a lot of implications for his career. He’ll either go back to someone who legitimately deserved the betrayal he got, or he’ll be on a collision course to another Bloodline family feud. Either way, The Bloodline story just got very interesting once again.

Everyone knows that Fatu could be a monster singles star, so breaking off Sikoa’s leash should be an easy decision. However, Sikoa is using the same tactics that his cousin Roman Reigns used whenever family members left his side. It worked for Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Sami Zayn.

There’s no question that Fatu could have that same feeling of guilt. It might not be popular, but Sikoa could have him wrapped around his finger. When Jacob Fatu enters the arena on Friday, it’ll be the most important decision he’s ever made in WWE.
