Siko addressed the WWE Universe in San Antonio, telling them that this is what happens when Fatu lacks guidance. He further rubbed salt into the wounds by stating, &#8220;Once a criminal, always a criminal.&#8221; Unfortunately for him, we see Fatu backstage, being rolled into the arena after the authorities confirmed that they had made a mistake. With Jimmy Uso by his side, Fatu would clean house, exacting a bit of revenge against Sikoa and his MFTs, beating them down relentlessly.
