At WWE Money in the Bank, fans were left shocked as Jacob Fatu turned on Solo Sikoa despite coming out to help him. While this was teased the night before on WWE SmackDown, fans didn’t think they would pull the trigger on it so fast.
Fatu, the current United States Champion, was a key element for The Bloodline 2.0. Not only was he the most dominant member of the group, but he was also the most impressive. Now, with JC Mateo by his side, Sikoa could look at another betrayal from Tama Tonga.
With Fatu now on his own, the numbers game still favors The Bloodline 2.0. They will be out for revenge against the Samoan Werewolf for his actions at the Premium Live Event. To help even out the odds, Tonga could make his return. He hasn't been seen since the April 18 episode of SmackDown when he was attacked by LA Knight in the parking lot and written off the show.
But the question the fans would ask is, why doesn’t Tonga help Sikoa rather than Fatu? After all, he was part of The Bloodline 2.0 and had no issues with the group leader. The best possible explanation lies with how WWE booked The Bloodline 2.0, especially their wannabe Tribal Chief. While in the OG Bloodline, the Enforcer was booked to look strong. Unfortunately, he hasn’t achieved that level of credibility on his own.
Tama Tonga and his brother Tonga Loa would want to be part of a group or be led by someone who is actually dominant, like Fatu. While this is currently speculative, it seems likely that the former Bullet Club member will side with the Samoan Werewolf.
Solo Sikoa vs. Jacob Fatu in the possible WWE future
As mentioned above, WWE has been teasing The Bloodline 2.0’s split for quite some time now. It was rumored that Fatu and Sikoa could face each other at WrestleMania 41. However, those plans were scrapped for Fatu to face LA Knight for the United States title and win. Now, with the betrayal finally done, the two former friends can have their match.
There has been speculation that WWE may turn Sikoa babyface following his match with Fatu. Over the past few months, the leader of The Bloodline 2.0 has been winning hearts with his comic timing and hilarious gestures in the ring, even at the Money in the Bank PLE. Turning him babyface would finally give him a chance to explore his funny side, much like his real-life brother Jimmy Uso.
