Jacob Fatu HAS JOINED Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso after betraying Sikoa solo at Money in the Bank!
In a shocking turn of events at WWE’s Money in the Bank 2025, Jacob Fatu, the reigning United States Champion, sent shockwaves through the wrestling world by betraying his long-time ally Solo Sikoa during the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. The dramatic moment, which unfolded on June 7, 2025, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, marked a pivotal shift in the ongoing saga of The Bloodline, one of WWE’s most dominant factions. Fatu’s actions not only cost Sikoa a chance at securing the coveted Money in the Bank briefcase but also signaled the end of his tenure with The Bloodline 2.0 and the beginning of a new alliance with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso.
The seeds of Fatu’s betrayal were sown weeks before the event, with tensions simmering within The Bloodline 2.0. On the May 30 episode of SmackDown, Fatu competed in a triple threat Money in the Bank qualifying match against Andrade and Carmelo Hayes. Despite his dominance, interference from Sikoa and his associate JC Mateo backfired, leading to Fatu’s loss. Visibly furious, Fatu lashed out backstage, declaring he didn’t need Sikoa’s help—a statement that foreshadowed the cracks forming in their alliance. The final straw came on the June 6 episode of SmackDown, when Sikoa was caught on camera mocking Fatu, calling him “all gas, no brains” in a conversation with JC Mateo. Unbeknownst to Sikoa, Fatu overheard the disrespectful remarks, setting the stage for the dramatic events at Money in the Bank.
During the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, which featured top stars like Seth Rollins, LA Knight, Penta, Andrade, and El Grande Americano, Fatu initially appeared to support Sikoa. Alongside JC Mateo, he stormed the ring to counter interference from Rollins’ allies, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. However, as Sikoa climbed the ladder, poised to grab the briefcase, Fatu grabbed his leg, halting his ascent. In a moment that left the audience stunned, Fatu locked eyes with Sikoa, declared, “I hate you, Solo!” and unleashed a brutal assault, culminating in a devastating Uranage through a ladder. This betrayal ensured Sikoa’s elimination from the match, allowing Seth Rollins to capitalize and secure his second Money in the Bank contract.
The fallout from Fatu’s actions was immediate and profound. Solo Sikoa, visibly shaken, took to social media to express his disdain, posting an image with an ‘X’ over Fatu’s face, signaling the end of their partnership. Wrestling veteran Bill Apter, speaking to Sportskeeda, described the turn as a defining moment in Fatu’s career, suggesting it could propel him into a major babyface role on SmackDown. Apter speculated that Fatu might now align with Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso, potentially reuniting with the original Bloodline members to challenge Sikoa’s faction. This sentiment was echoed across wrestling circles, with fans and analysts buzzing about the possibilities for Fatu’s future.
Fatu’s decision to join forces with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso comes at a critical juncture for The Bloodline. Reigns, who reclaimed the Ula Fala and Tribal Chief title from Sikoa in January 2025, has been rebuilding his faction after Sikoa’s hostile takeover following WrestleMania 40. Jimmy Uso’s return at Bad Blood in October 2024 marked a significant step in reuniting the original Bloodline, and Fatu’s addition strengthens their ranks. The trio’s shared history and Samoan heritage, deeply rooted in the Anoaʻi family, add an emotional layer to this alliance. In an interview with the Battleground Podcast, Fatu expressed admiration for Reigns and The Usos, calling himself a “huge fan” and highlighting the pride he takes in being part of this storied lineage.
The implications of Fatu’s turn are far-reaching. As the United States Champion, Fatu has already established himself as a formidable force, having won the title at WrestleMania 41. His transition to a babyface role, fueled by the crowd’s growing support, positions him as a potential main-event star. Wrestling insider Dave Meltzer reported that WWE plans to pit Fatu against Sikoa in a high-stakes feud, with SummerSlam being a likely stage for their showdown. This rivalry promises to be intensely personal, given Fatu’s real-life familial ties to Sikoa and the betrayal’s emotional weight.
For Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso, Fatu’s allegiance bolsters their fight against The Bloodline 2.0, which still includes Tama Tonga and JC Mateo. The original Bloodline’s loss to Sikoa’s faction at Crown Jewel in November 2024 highlighted their need for additional firepower, and Fatu’s addition could tip the scales. Fans are already speculating about a potential reunion with Jey Uso, who has been hesitant to reconcile with Reigns but embraced Jimmy on SmackDown in October 2024. A fully reunited Bloodline, with Fatu as a key player, could dominate WWE’s landscape once again.
As WWE heads toward SummerSlam, the wrestling world is abuzz with anticipation. Fatu’s betrayal has not only dismantled The Bloodline 2.0 but also set the stage for a new chapter in his career and the ongoing Bloodline saga. With Reigns and Jimmy Uso by his side, Jacob Fatu is poised to cement his legacy as one of WWE’s brightest stars, proving that the Samoan Werewolf is a force to be reckoned with.
