Record-breaking champion to align with Solo Sikoa, suggests WWE analyst, after recent betrayal by Jacob Fatu
Jacob Fatu finally turned on Solo Sikoa at Money in the Bank, screwing the former Tribal Chief out of a win in a big match. A current WWE analyst suggested a record-breaking champion could align with Sikoa and JC Mateo ahead of an earth-shattering feud with The Samoan Werewolf.
After months of simmering tension within The Bloodline, Fatu had had enough of Sikoa's underhanded tactics and compliments. He finally uttered "I hate you, Solo" for the first time on Saturday night, less than 24 hours after overhearing his Bloodline brother call him "all gas, no brains" on SmackDown.
In an emergency episode of the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts suggested the possibility of Jimmy Uso joining forces with Solo and JC Mateo. Roberts explained that it made sense for Jimmy to help his real-life younger brother not get beaten up by the reigning United States Champion.
"I thought the idea of The Bloodline could come back together, and this is just me and my Bloodline stuff again. Because when they were interacting with Jimmy Uso, I go, ‘What if Solo did get JC Mateo and Jacob Fatu on the same page and then what if Jimmy actually did join them?’ Now, you're starting to get these pieces together because part of it is like, ‘What's Jimmy doing right now? What's the future of Jimmy Uso?’"
He continued to further explain how he felt Jimmy could act in this scenario.
"I think there's a way even now, because obviously you're not going to do that, but like the story that you tell is Jimmy Uso is actually Solo Sikoa's big brother, like real-life big brother, and as a big brother, you can't let your little brother get killed by Jacob Fatu," Roberts said.

It will be interesting to see if Jimmy Uso, who holds the record for the longest tag title reign in WWE history, finds his way back into The Bloodline in the potentially upcoming war against The Samoan Werewolf and the stars he could bring in to fight off Solo Sikoa, JC Mateo, and possibly The Tongans.
Seth Rollins mocked Jacob Fatu on SmackDown
Last Friday's episode of SmackDown saw Seth Rollins and his group attempt to take over the show. They attacked almost every participant in the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match. There was even a cold staredown between Rollins' stable and The Bloodline.
During the altercation, Rollins called Jacob Fatu "Solo's bi*ch," which may or may not have triggered something in The Samoan Werewolf.
Nevertheless, seeds of a possible breakup between Jacob and Solo were planted months in advance, and WWE is expected to utilize that moving forward.
