In a stunning twist of vengeance and betrayal, the WWE Universe was rocked at Money in the Bank 2025 as Jacob Fatu made his long-awaited returnāand this time, he wasnāt here to make friends.
The night was already charged with emotion and tension. Solo Sikoa, still riding the dark wave of his brutal reign as the self-proclaimed āMaku Chief,ā walked into the Menās Money in the Bank Ladder Match as a favorite. With JC Matteo by his sideāhis loyal yet cunning associateāSolo looked poised to seize the coveted briefcase and ascend to the next level of domination.
But fate had other plans.
Just as Solo climbed the ladder late in the match, with bodies laid out around the ring and only one rung separating him from guaranteed championship gold, the arena lights dimmed. A pulse of Samoan war drums echoed through the building. The crowd erupted into a frenzy of confusion and anticipation.
ThenāBOOM.
Jacob Fatu stormed down the ramp, face twisted with rage, eyes locked on Solo. No music. No hesitation. Just fury.
The last time fans saw Fatu, he had been unceremoniously blindsided by Solo and JC Matteo in a brutal backstage ambush months ago. An ambush that not only took Fatu off TV, but served as Soloās official break from the rest of the Samoan Dynastyāa break soaked in blood and betrayal.
But Fatu was back, and he was here to collect.
Without a word, Fatu rushed into the ring, yanked Solo off the ladder mid-climb, and delivered a devastating Pop-Up Samoan Drop, shaking the ring. Solo rolled out, gasping for breath, as JC Matteo tried to interveneābut he was met with a spine-shattering SuperkickāToāCorner Splash combo. Fatu wasn’t here to play heroāhe was here to punish.
With Solo and JC laid out, Fatu stood in the center of the ring, breathing heavily, before finally climbing the ladderānot to grab the briefcase, but to rip it off its hinge and hurl it outside the ring, ensuring neither of them would taste victory that night.
Security poured in, but Fatu didnāt resist. He simply raised his hands, a sly smile crossing his face as he backed up the ramp, eyes never leaving Solo, who was seething with rage on the outside. It was clear this wasnāt about Money in the Bank.
This was personal.
Backstage, WWE officials scrambled to restore order, and commentary couldnāt keep up with the shock. Michael Cole summed it up best: āJacob Fatu didnāt just cost Solo Sikoa the briefcase⦠he declared war.ā
Sources close to the situation suggest that this is just the beginning of a deeper feud set to erupt over the summer. While Fatuās return was unexpected, it seems meticulously planned. The Bloodline saga, which has seen twists, betrayals, and civil war over the past year, may have just added its most dangerous chapter yet.
And JC Matteo? The āArchitect of Aggressionā who aligned himself with Solo during his rebellion from The Bloodline, now finds himself a marked man. With Fatu targeting both of them, his loyalty might just cost him more than he bargained for.
The message is clear: You can beat down Jacob Fatu. You can take him out of the spotlight. But you canāt bury the blood. And when that blood comes back, it comes back for vengeance.
Whatās next? Rumors swirl that WWE is planning a showdown between Fatu and Solo at SummerSlam. If Money in the Bank was any indication, that match could be less of a wrestling bout and more of an all-out war.
One thing is certain: Solo Sikoa and JC Matteo won the battle months ago⦠but Jacob Fatu is back to win the war.
