Tama has had some conflict with Sikoa, with the latter costing the former and Talla their match on the June 19, 2026, episode of Friday Night SmackDown. He then cost Jimmy his match against LA Knight on the June 22 Monday Night Raw.

Going on a mission alone not only shows his confidence in facing his family, but also shows that he feels MFT as a group is coming to a close.

Fatu directly betrayed him at Money in the Bank last year, starting his current singles run with a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/07\/18\/jacob-fatu-vs-solo-sikoa-at-wwe-summerslam-brutal-stipulation-revealed\/\" target=\"_self\">huge rivalry between them<\/a>.

Talla and Tama have heard about the attack on Jimmy. They could see the move as further dividing MFT, leading to more tension. But they could also recognize that Reigns\u2019 Bloodline will be searching for retaliation towards Sikoa. With Reigns definitely getting word about what happened on Monday, there\u2019s no doubt that he isn\u2019t happy either.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_161734\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-161734\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/05\/ty.webp\" alt=\"WWE Raw graphic of Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa for Tribal Combat.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"size-full wp-image-161734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/05\/ty.webp 1280w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/05\/ty-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-161734\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A WWE Raw graphic of Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa in Tribal Combat.
