Solo Sikoa to vacate his WWE United States Championship on upcoming episode of SmackDown? Looking at the possibility

Solo Sikoa has risen back to the top since capturing the WWE United States Title at the Night of Champions Premium Live Event. Sikoa has managed to climb his way back to the top since reclaiming the leadership in his Bloodline, which he named 'MFT' last week, after his victory over Jacob Fatu.

The former Tribal Chief now has some of the most dangerous names in his corner, and the addition of Tala Tonga (f.k.a. Hikuleo) into the mix has just managed to sweeten things up for the new champion. However, no matter who gets added to his group, Sikoa doesn’t have Jacob Fatu standing behind him, one of the most prominent names on SmackDown today.

Fatu has managed to make a name for himself and rose to the main event scene incredibly fast, and his momentum continues, as he feuds with Solo Sikoa. With Fatu seeming to have more momentum and popularity than Sikoa, the latter would love to give Fatu another chance to change his mind and rejoin his group, making the faction a dominant force on the blue brand.

However, unless Fatu doesn’t have the title that he loves back on his shoulders, and Sikoa still holds it, The Samoan Werewolf might not join hands with Solo and his MFT. For Sikoa to somehow have the dominant name back in his faction, along with some of the biggest names in the industry today, The Street Champion might be forced to relinquish his title.

With the former Tribal Chief in desperate need of glory, Solo Sikoa could relinquish his United States Title on this week’s episode of SmackDown, just to show how much Fatu matters to him. This could further lead to Fatu finally getting back with Solo to leave the WWE Universe stunned.

Time will tell what twists WWE has in store for the faction next.

Solo Sikoa was given a new name by legend following WWE Night of Champions

Right after his victory against Jacob Fatu at WWE Night of Champions, veteran Jim Cornette, in a recent edition of his Drive-Thru podcast, addressed the vicious match both men had, giving a new nickname to the former Tribal Chief, calling him ‘Temu Fatu.’

"Solo [Sikoa] is kind of like, as we talked about a little bit before, a bit, as one of the kids said, the 'Temu Fatu?' So, Solo is a lot of punch and kick. Then when Fatu's fighting a guy, he's still taking the bumps and stuff, but he relies on a lot of punches and kicks. They're a little too similar to be complementary, I think, but it was what it was... [Jacob] Fatu can fly around on the bumps and the place he needs to be, and Solo's kind of flat-footed," Cornette said. (From 02:35 to 03:25)

Solo Sikoa needs the upper hand in his feud against Jacob Fatu and would go to any lengths to prove his dominance. Fans will have to wait and see what happens next for Solo and his men on WWE SmackDown.
