At Money in the Bank, Fatu came to the ring to help Sikoa. But when Sikoa nearly had his hands on the briefcase, Fatu held onto his leg to prevent him from moving.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;I HATE YOU!&quot; | Jacob Fatu takes out Solo Sikoa: Money in the Bank 2025 highlights\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zRhH1oNDkf4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He then yelled, \u201cI hate you, Solo!\u201d before throwing him down from the ladder, costing him a world title opportunity. On the June 13, 2025 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Sikoa addressed Fatu via video message.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jacob Fatu issues a dire threat to Solo Sikoa and JC Mateo: SmackDown highlights, June 13, 2025\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oqHTQKvZjDc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sikoa said he was the person who got him all the fame and fortune. To him, he was nothing before he brought him into the company. All would be forgiven if he told him, \u201cI love you, Solo!\u201d like he had done numerous times before.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will Jacob Fatu apologize for his actions, or will he turn his back on family?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static-gi.asianetnews.com\/images\/01jm4xbk92xx199qzkm8any084\/gettyimages-2176119547.jpg?impolicy=All_policy&amp;im=Resize=(380)\" alt=\"WWE wealth showdown: Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu net worths compared | Asianet Newsable\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Jacob Fatu Will Regret His Decision and Rejoin Solo Sikoa<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Years before Jacob Fatu ever joined WWE, The Bloodline was run by Roman Reigns. There were a lot of good times, but there were also some bad times.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those bad times made Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Sami Zayn leave The Bloodline. However, they always found their way back to Reigns. He used the same technique that Solo Sikoa is using now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sikoa is guilt-tripping Fatu, saying that he\u2019ll be nothing without him. The same thing happened with Reigns, and everyone came crawling back without a second thought. The one person who was there through everything was Sikoa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sikoa took valuable lessons from Reigns on how to treat the other members of The Bloodline. Unfortunately, some of those wrong behaviors have rubbed off on him. If Fatu really believes what Sikoa is saying, he\u2019ll come back to the man he betrayed.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Jacob Fatu Might Have Some Tricks Up His Sleeve<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Jacob Fatu refuses to work with Solo Sikoa, he can be the dominant singles star that he was on the indies. The problem with that is Sikoa has backup in JC Mateo. He\u2019ll be at a two-on-one disadvantage if he says no.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what if someone else was at the arena to even the odds? Hikuleo debuted last week in a SmackDown dark match. There\u2019s a good chance that was a test to gauge audience reaction before his debut.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tonga Loa could also be making his way back soon. He suffered a torn bicep at Survivor Series: WarGames in November, which put him out of action for seven or eight months. It\u2019s been nearly seven months since then, so he\u2019s right on track for a return.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Fatu says no, there\u2019s a good chance he\u2019ll have backup, in case Mateo and Sikoa try to attack.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What Will Jacob Fatu Choose to Do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter what Jacob Fatu says on Friday, it\u2019ll have a lot of implications for his career. He\u2019ll either go back to someone who legitimately deserved the betrayal he got, or he\u2019ll be on a collision course to another Bloodline family feud. Either way, The Bloodline story just got very interesting once again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone knows that Fatu could be a monster singles star, so breaking off Sikoa\u2019s leash should be an easy decision. However, Sikoa is using the same tactics that his cousin Roman Reigns used whenever family members left his side. It worked for Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Sami Zayn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no question that Fatu could have that same feeling of guilt. It might not be popular, but Sikoa could have him wrapped around his finger. When Jacob Fatu enters the arena on Friday, it\u2019ll be the most important decision he\u2019s ever made in WWE.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a> for more on Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa, WWE SmackDown, and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
