On the most recent episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Solo Sikoa devised a plan to frame Jacob Fatu after a car crash was shown in the opening segment of the show. After The Samoan Werewolf was questioned, the authorities came to the conclusion that the United States Champion tried to frame Fatu and arrested him instead.

Before the said arrest on the show, Adam Pearce revealed that the 32-year-old star would defend the United States Championship against Fatu inside a Steel Cage at The Biggest Party of The Summer in New Jersey. Luckily, the arrest was an angle for the storyline, and Rikishi reacted to the upcoming title match.

Rikishi wants a major change for Solo Sikoa's faction on WWE SmackDown

Solo Sikoa stepped out of Roman Reigns' shadow and took over The Bloodline in 2024. Unfortunately, he lost the Ula Fala back to The Original Tribal Chief following a long feud, which ended on RAW's Netflix debut. Later, he created a new group, which consisted of the Tongans, but he still faced members from his family on the blue brand.

Speaking on the Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer said he wanted management to book Solo Sikoa's faction in a new direction and away from his family members. Moreover, he wants to see his son work with different and other credible talents in the promotion.

"You know, I would love to see Solo and his crew just go up against somebody besides The Bloodline. This way, it kind of just adds something fresh to it, and to see how these boys will be able to work with other people besides family members," Fatu said.
