On the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, aired on March 21, 2025, chaos erupted in a match that left fans stunned and tensions boiling within The Bloodline faction. The highly anticipated bout pitted Jacob Fatu against Braun Strowman, with the winner earning a shot at LA Knight’s United States Championship the following week in London. What should have been a straightforward contest turned into a whirlwind of interference, betrayal, and disqualification, thanks to Solo Sikoa’s actions, leaving Jacob Fatu furious and empty-handed.
The match began with palpable intensity. Jacob Fatu, known as “The Samoan Werewolf,” showcased his incredible strength and agility, dominating Strowman early on. The 6’2”, 280-pound powerhouse lifted the massive Strowman for a Samoan Drop, a feat that had the crowd in Bologna, Italy, roaring in disbelief. Strowman, a former WWE Universal Champion nicknamed “The Monster Among Men,” fought back with his signature power moves, including a running powerslam that leveled Tama Tonga, who had attempted to interfere on Fatu’s behalf. The stage was set for an epic showdown, and it seemed Fatu was on the cusp of securing a career-defining victory.
However, the tide turned dramatically when Solo Sikoa, the self-proclaimed leader of The New Bloodline, decided to insert himself into the fray. As the match neared its climax, Sikoa charged into the ring and delivered a vicious Samoan Spike to Strowman. The attack was blatant and executed right in front of the referee, who had no choice but to call for the bell. Braun Strowman was declared the winner by disqualification, earning him the United States Championship opportunity instead of Fatu. The crowd erupted in a mix of boos and cheers as the ring descended into pandemonium.
For Jacob Fatu, the outcome was nothing short of a betrayal. Posts on X captured his visible frustration, with one user noting, “Jacob is not happy about it,” alongside clips of him storming backstage, visibly enraged at Sikoa and Tonga. In a heated exchange caught on camera, Fatu shoved away Sikoa’s attempts at explanation, shouting that they should “stay out of his business.” The tension between the two Bloodline members was undeniable, hinting at a fracture within the faction that has dominated WWE storylines for months.
Solo Sikoa, for his part, appeared unapologetic. Earlier in the night, he had vowed to restore The Bloodline’s dominance, but his interference backfired spectacularly. Instead of ensuring Fatu’s victory, he handed the title shot to Strowman, a formidable opponent who now stands one step closer to championship gold. Backstage footage showed Sikoa brushing off Fatu’s anger, claiming he was “just trying to help,” but the damage was done. The New Bloodline, once a united front, now seems on the brink of collapse.
This chaotic turn of events has sparked widespread speculation among fans and analysts. Some believe this could be the beginning of a rift leading to a blockbuster match between Sikoa and Fatu, possibly at WrestleMania 41 in April 2025. WWE has been subtly planting seeds of discord within The Bloodline, and this incident might be the catalyst that pushes Fatu to break away from Sikoa’s leadership. Others see it as a misstep that weakens Sikoa’s credibility as a strategist, especially after his loss of the Tribal Chief title to Roman Reigns earlier this year.
As SmackDown went off the air, the image of Jacob Fatu’s fury lingered. The Samoan Werewolf’s path to the United States Championship was derailed not by his opponent, but by his own ally. With Strowman advancing to face LA Knight and The Bloodline teetering on the edge of civil war, the WWE Universe is left wondering: will Fatu forgive Sikoa, or will this betrayal ignite a family feud that changes the landscape of WWE forever? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—chaos reigns supreme.
