Jacob Fatu has finally been openly betrayed on WWE SmackDown. The United States Champion has found himself in a position that he should never have been.
For a while now, Jacob Fatu has been on the outside in his alliance with Solo Sikoa. Ever since JC Mateo debuted, things have been even worse between them than it was previously. There was always tension, but he hasn't been happy with the inclusion of Mateo in the group. Today on SmackDown, thanks to a miscommunication between Fatu and Mateo, the latter lost his first match since arriving in WWE.
Now, though, the star has been betrayed. After the match, Mateo was angry with Fatu and was talking about it backstage. Sikoa had always tried to maintain neutrality between them, but today decided to betray Jacob Fatu and started insulting the star in his absence.
"JC, JC, my man, you worry too much. Listen, I brought Jacob, okay? He loves me. He does. And by the way, one thing about Jacob? He's not all that smart in the head. All this man does is think about himself. He is literally all gas and no brains. I've got it under control. Let's go handle business tonight," Sikoa said.
Fatu walked in soon after this, as the duo walked away, revealing he had heard everything Solo Sikoa had said.
