Solo Sikoa Captures United States Title with Help from Tonga Loa and Hikuleo – The Bloodline continues to evolve — and dominate. At WWE Night of Champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Solo Sikoa defeated Jacob Fatu to become the new United States Champion, marking a pivotal shift in The Bloodline’s power dynamic. The victory came with major interference from both the returning Tonga Loa and the shocking WWE main roster debut of Hikuleo, who aligned himself with his brothers and embraced his new role in the reformed faction.
The match began with chaos, as Solo attacked Jacob Fatu before the bell, sending him into the ring post. Solo rained down punches, but Fatu quickly regained momentum with a series of strikes and a clothesline off the ring steps. Fatu followed with two punishing back sentons, then set up for his signature double-jump moonsault, but Solo rolled out of harm’s way. As Fatu prepared to dive to the outside, Solo caught him mid-move with a vicious punch, then delivered a brutal uranage onto the ring apron.
The two Samoan warriors exchanged stiff shots inside the ring, and Solo took control with a running hip attack and a reverse chin lock. Fatu fought back with a German suplex and a devastating swanton bomb from the top rope, earning a near fall. But just as Fatu seemed poised to finish the match, Bloodline backup arrived.
JC Mateo ran down to distract the referee, allowing a hooded figure to attack Fatu from behind. That figure was revealed to be Tonga Loa, who nailed a neckbreaker, nearly securing the win for Solo.
Fatu rebounded briefly, hitting a twisting plancha onto Mateo and Loa and following up with a pop-up Samoan Drop and a double-jump moonsault. But just as he went for the pin, the crowd erupted as Hikuleo emerged from the crowd and made his presence felt in dramatic fashion.
In his first official main roster appearance, Hikuleo pulled Fatu out of the ring and delivered a thunderous chokeslam through the announce table. The towering star then threw Fatu back inside, allowing Solo to hit the Samoan Spike for the three count.
This match not only secured Solo Sikoa’s first singles championship in WWE but also introduced a more fortified version of The Bloodline, with Hikuleo officially aligning with his brothers, Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga, alongside JC Mateo. The inclusion of Hikuleo marks a significant step in the group’s long-term direction.
With Solo now holding championship gold, and Hikuleo fully committed to the cause, The Bloodline has reasserted itself as the most powerful faction in WWE. All eyes now turn to how this new iteration of the group will function going forward — and whether Fatu will seek revenge for the brutal betrayal that cost him his title.
