WWE Night of Champions<\/a> was an absolute thrill ride for the WWE Universe, and that wild got wilder with an unexpected title change in Riyadh. The fourth match of the night saw Jacob Fatu defend the United States Championship against his former “Tribal Chief”, Solo Sikoa. The deck were firmly stacked against Fatu, with JC Mateo and a returning Tonga Loa trying their best to end his reign. Not only that, but another giant of a man made his debut<\/a> to help Solo Sikoa.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, they succeeded in assisting Sikoa to dethrone Jacob Fatu in a shocker of a title change. Subjectively, many people counted Solo Sikoa out from the start. But that was an absolute mistake. Now, Solo Sikoa is your new United States Champion. This is Solo Sikoa’s first singles title since graduating to the main roster, second overall, as he is a former NXT North American Champion.<\/p>\n

With a revamped group by his side, Solo Sikoa will usher in a new era on SmackDown.<\/p>\n
