Solo Sikoa's Bloodline, which was one of the hottest heel factions in WWE last year, is seemingly about to implode. Two members of the group, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, are injured, while Jacob Fatu is focusing on his singles career.
Sikoa is seemingly not on good terms with Jacob, especially after the latter's United States Title win at WrestleMania 41. The Samoan Werewolf didn't require the former Tribal Chief's help to become champion. However, Sikoa claimed he was responsible for Jacob's success. To teach his teammate a lesson, Sikoa could recruit Tama's brother, Hikuleo, to the faction.
The six-foot-three-inch giant reportedly signed with WWE last year in June but has yet to make his TV debut. He was rumored to join NXT, but that hasn't happened yet. Sikoa could directly bring Hikuleo to the main roster and get him a title shot against Jacob Fatu. In a shocking twist, the former NJPW star could dethrone The Samoan Werewolf as the United States Champion.

Hikuleo is a former IWGP Tag Team Champion and is known for his intimidating ring presence. He could join the main roster after Backlash and engage in a heated storyline with Fatu. In a potential title match at SummerSlam, the giant could defeat The Samoan Werewolf using unfair means. This could allow Jacob Fatu to turn babyface for the first time in his WWE career.
As of now, this is mere speculation, and nothing has been confirmed.
Jacob Fatu could defend his US Title at WWE Backlash in a Fatal Four-Way match, according to Hall of Famer
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter feels The Samoan Werewolf will defend his US Title in a Fatal Four-Way match at Backlash on May 10, 2025, after a recent segment. Last week on SmackDown, WWE teased a feud between Fatu, Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, and Damian Priest.
"Yeah, it seems like they're setting up a [Fatal] Four-Way match, with LA Knight, Damian Priest, and Drew McIntyre going for the US Title. If that happens, it should be a great match," Apter said on the latest episode of WrestleVotes Q&A. (5:25 - 5:36)
On the SmackDown after WrestleMania, LA Knight and Drew McIntyre fought in a number one contenders match for Jacob's WWE United States Title. However, Damian Priest interfered in the contest, causing a DQ finish in favor of McIntyre.
In the end, Fatu took out McIntyre, Priest, and LA Knight. It will be interesting to see if the company books a four-way title match between the stars for Backlash.
