WWE Money in the Bank featured one of the most chaotic ladder matches in history this year. The Men’s MITB ladder match featured some of the biggest stars in the industry. Seth Rollins called out Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed to add some action to the chaos when Jacob Fatu and JC Mateo also arrived to help Solo Sikoa.
After taking everyone down, Fatu helped Sikoa climb the ladder but ended up shocking the world by attacking him, a move teased in the previous episode of SmackDown. Fatu made a massive statement during the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match by launching a violent, unprovoked attack on Solo Sikoa, making headlines all around the world.
Let’s check out the possible consequences Jacob Fatu could face for sabotaging Solo Sikoa’s Money in the Bank opportunity.
#4. Nick Aldis can punish Fatu with a title defense against Solo Sikoa
As the United States Champion, Jacob Fatu has a target on his back. After costing Solo Sikoa a potential career-altering MITB win, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis could punish Fatu for interfering in the match. Further, Aldis could announce that the champion would have to defend his title against Solo Sikoa as a punishment.
A US Title match between Fatu and Sikoa at a stage like SummerSlam would not be a massive showdown that the fans have been waiting for months, but would also end up being the night Solo Sikoa possibly gets the upper hand against Fatu.
#3. Kicked out of the Bloodline?
The Bloodline had just started gaining momentum back for the first time since January when Solo Sikoa lost the ‘Tribal Chief’ status to Roman Reigns. Fatu was one of the most integral parts of the faction, but is clearly not anymore.
After Fatu’s actions at WWE Money in the Bank, Sikoa could publicly announce that only he and JC Mateo represent the Bloodline moving forward. Removing Fatu from the group would be the first thing Sikoa would want to do.
#2. Nick Aldis could suspend him for interfering in the Money in the Bank ladder match
Nick Aldis has made it very clear that chaos will not rule SmackDown. Jacob Fatu’s shocking interference in a high-stakes, multi-man ladder match didn’t just cost Solo Sikoa a golden opportunity but also added chaos to the SmackDown roster and the storylines leading into the future.
Aldis could announce a suspension for the United States Champion to not only punish him but also send a message to the entire roster and everyone who plans to create chaos on the blue brand moving forward.
#1. Solo Sikoa and JC Mateo might assault Jacob Fatu backstage on SmackDown
Jacob Fatu betrayed Solo Sikoa and JC Mateo, and considering their brutality, they might not wait for Nick Aldis to take action. The new Bloodline has already shown that it operates on its own terms, and Fatu could become the next victim. Both men could unleash an assault on the United States Champion to make headlines around the world, potentially injuring him backstage.
Such an attack would not only take Fatu out of the equation temporarily but would also force him to relinquish the United States Championship, on which Solo could capitalize and make headlines by winning it. This could end up being the perfect revenge for Siko following Money in the Bank.
