Top WWE Superstar claims his group runs SmackDown after another big win; sends message on behalf of Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa

JC Mateo continued his winning streak on this week's episode of WWE SmackDown. On social media, he claimed that Solo Sikoa's group runs the blue brand.

Mateo, formerly known as Jeff Cobb, debuted at WWE Backlash. He helped Fatu retain the WWE United States Championship in a Fatal Four-Way match against LA Knight, Drew McIntyre, and Damian Priest. The former IWGP Tag Team Champion ambushed The Megastar, allowing The Samoan Werewolf to secure the victory.

On X, Mateo sent a message on behalf of Sikoa and Jacob Fatu, claiming that the trio ran the Friday night program. Mr. Athletic and Fatu defeated Rey Fenix and Jimmy Uso on this week's SmackDown, continuing the former New Japan Pro-Wrestling star's winning streak. Mateo's first win in the company was over Knight, whom he defeated on SmackDown in a singles match.
