WWE has added another blockbuster clash in the upcoming big event of Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, which is slated to start on June 28, 2025. Following an exciting promotion at the recently held SmackDown, WWE has now announced a new title match between Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu .
Earlier during the Money in the Bank event, Solo Sikoa’s grip on The Bloodline has started to slip. After being betrayed by Jacob Fatu during the match, Sikoa found himself defeated and exposed, leaving the faction with just its core members, Sikoa and JC Mateo. Owing to this situation, WWE introduced a new bloodline faction member– Hikuleo.
However, following a tense exchange on Friday’s SmackDown, Jacob Fatu will defend his United States Championship against former Bloodline ally Solo Sikoa next Saturday.
Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa to lock horns at the Night of Champions event in Saudi Arabia
On the June 20 edition of SmackDown, Fatu and Solo's rivalry reached its peak. During the promotions, Solo seemingly tried reconciling, but it did not work out. He rather received a backlash from Fatu, who accused him of being jealous from the time he became a champion.
This heated argument and confrontation ended in a brawl, with Jimmy Uso caught in the crossfire. In response, WWE formally announced their title match for Night of Champions.
Confirming about the upcoming feud between Fatu and Sikoa, WWE wrote: “United States Champion Jacob Fatu with take on his former ally Solo Sikoa in a highly-personal title showdown at WWE Night of Champions . Although Fatu captured the United States Title, Solo seemed to feel he was superior to The Samoan Werewolf, bringing in JC Mateo without Fatu knowing and belittling the titleholder behind his back."
"After Fatu overheard one of these digs, however, he had enough and ultimately cost Sikoa his opportunity to capture the Money in the Bank contract as he screamed, “I hate you, Solo!”
The WWE preview further read: “After Solo failed in his attempt to bring Fatu back into the fold, he and Mateo launched a two-on-one assault on their former “brother” on SmackDown, a move that brought Jimmy Uso to the ring to aid the champion and led directly to the Night of Champions title matchup.”
Apart from this event, matches like the Undisputed WWE Championship between John Cena and CM Punk, WWE Intercontinental Championship between Dominik Mysterio and AJ Styles are also in line. The event will also include the final match of the King of the Ring Tournament and the Queen of the Ring Tournament.
