The 2025 WWE Money in the Bank Premium Live Event is officially in the books, and fans are still buzzing over the Men's MITB Ladder Match. The bout featured some of the shocking moments of the night, including Solo Sikoa being betrayed by his Bloodline stablemate and United States Champion, Jacob Fatu.

In the past few months, tensions between Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu grew, and it reached a breaking point last week on SmackDown, when Fatu heard Sikoa mocking him in front of JC Mateo. Solo gained some momentum in recent weeks after securing his spot in the 2025 Men's MITB Ladder Match. This led fans to anticipate the former Tribal Chief to secure the contract at the premium live event. However, Solo saw himself on the losing end in Los Angeles.

During the match, Seth Rollins called out Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed for help, which led to Jacob Fatu and JC Mateo also arriving to help Solo Sikoa, adding some action to the chaos. Fatu assisted the former Tribal Chief to ascend the ladder after taking down everyone, but shocked the WWE Universe when he turned on Sikoa. The 33-year-old shouted, "I hate you," at Solo and attacked him.

This betrayal could lead to an intense rivalry between The Samoan Werewolf and The Street Champion in the coming weeks. Solo has yet to win a singles title on the main roster, and to achieve this, he might challenge Fatu for the United States Championship at Night of Champions, which is set to take place on June 28.

Unlike Fatu, Solo Sikoa has some backup in the form of JC Mateo, who could help Sikoa to dethrone The Samoan Werewolf. Additionally, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa could make their return and take the side of the former Tribal Chief.

While the above angle may sound promising, it is mere speculation. Only time will tell what WWE has in store for Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.

Jacob Fatu betraying Solo Sikoa at WWE Money in the Bank might have turned him into a babyface

Jacob Fatu shocked the WWE Universe by betraying Solo Sikoa last weekend in Los Angeles. The Men's MITB Ladder Match featured six superstars delivering outstanding performances that kept fans talking about it.

The conflict between Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu began after The Street Champion lost his Ula Fala to Roman Reigns at RAW's Netflix premiere. Their relationship has been on shaky ground ever since then. Nonetheless, during a backstage segment on the go-home edition of SmackDown before MITB 2025, Solo was conversing with JC Mateo, during which he said Fatu is "All gas, no Brains." The former Tribal Chief didn't realise that the United States Champion had overheard their entire discussion.

Solo's remarks could have acted as the ultimate factor that led to his betrayal by Fatu at the Men's MITB 2025. This also confirmed The Samoan Werewolf's exit from Solo's group, which might make him a babyface in WWE.

However, it remains to be seen if the above angle becomes reality; at the moment, it is just speculation.
