In a jaw-dropping turn of events at Money in the Bank 2025, “The Samoan Werewolf” Jacob Fatu delivered a stunning betrayal—striking down his cousin Solo Sikoa just as victory seemed within reach. The shockwave from this move continues to reverberate through the WWE’s “Bloodline” storyline.
💥 The Shocking Money in the Bank Twist
On June 7, during the climax of the Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match, Fatu—who had been supporting Solo—turned on him at the pivotal moment, allowing Seth Rollins’s faction to seize the briefcase. This act of treachery sparked immediate disbelief among fans and slo-mo replays highlighting Fatu’s vicious elbow strike confirmed the depth of his betrayal .
That animosity had been simmering for weeks. Tensions exploded when Solo reportedly dismissed Fatu as “all gas, no brains” during a high-stakes SmackDown segment. Fatu later claimed that Solo “undermined his accomplishments,” and publicly declared he wasn’t holding back, even against family .
Fallout on SmackDown: The Ultimatum
At the following SmackDown, Solo Sikoa confronted his cousin, issuing a challenge: promise your loyalty by saying “I love you, Solo” or risk permanent exile from the faction. The emotional charge underscored the family’s fractured foundation .
New Alliances: Reigns & Uso Move In
In an unexpected twist, post-betrayal WWE episodes depict Fatu forging a dangerous alliance with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso—both former central pillars of The Bloodline. A recent YouTube analysis titled “Fatu betrays Solo Sikoa … aligning with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso on RAW!” underscores the seismic nature of this realignment .
Insiders suggest this alliance is less about nostalgia and more about strategy: Fatu, Reigns, and Uso are positioning themselves as a formidable front against Solo Sikoa—and possibly JC Mateo—marking a new era in Samoan wrestling politics.
⚔️ What This Means for The Bloodline
Internal schism: The Bloodline’s unity continues to unravel. Reigns’s return in 2024 had already stirred tensions; Fatu’s defection deepens the rift .
Reigns reasserts dominance: Now calling himself “The O.T.C.” (Only Tribal Chief), Reigns could exploit this shake-up to reestablish his supremacy and recruit allies like Fatu, with Uso as loyal enforcer .
Caretaking Solo’s fate: Solo finds himself isolated, battling not only Fatu but also the reunited power of Reigns-Uso—escalating the feud to whole new heights.
What’s Next?
Fans are buzzing about the next SmackDown: will Fatu accept or reject Solo’s emotional ultimatum? Can Reigns and Uso truly trust their new ally? Coverage and pundits hint at massive stakes—possible three-way bouts at SummerSlam and the potential for a full Bloodline civil war .
