Solo Sikoa Wins US Title After Shocking Hikuleo Debut at Night of Champions

In a chaotic and stunning turn of events at WWE Night of Champions on Saturday, Solo Sikoa captured the United States Championship for the first time, but the real story was the mayhem that led to his victory. The match was decided by a series of shocking interferences, culminating in the jaw-dropping debut of Hikuleo.

Sikoa's win was anything but clean. He benefited from massive interference by JC Mateo and a returning Tonga Loa. However, the game-changing moment came when the debuting Hikuleo emerged, delivering a devastating chokeslam to Jacob Fatu through the announce table, paving the way for Sikoa's controversial victory. The wrestling world is buzzing about Hikuleo and the new, menacing shape of The Bloodline.

A Brotherhood Shattered

This story of betrayal has been brewing for over a year. Jacob Fatu debuted as Solo Sikoa's most loyal soldier, his fiercest protector within The Bloodline. His catchphrase, "I love you, Solo!" once defined their bond.

But the cracks began to show after WrestleMania 41 when Fatu won the U.S. title. With Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa sidelined by injuries, the faction dwindled to just Sikoa and Fatu, and the power dynamic shifted dramatically.

The Breaking Point and the Rise of Hikuleo

The tension boiled over at Money in the Bank. Fatu and the newly introduced Mateo appeared to be helping Sikoa win the briefcase, but in a moment of pure venom, Fatu stopped Sikoa, declared "I hate you," and cost him the match, shattering their alliance for good.

This led to their collision at Night of Champions. While Sikoa walked away with the gold, it was the shocking arrival of Hikuleo that has everyone talking. The debut of Hikuleo signals a new, dangerous era for Sikoa's Bloodline. The message is clear: Solo Sikoa is rebuilding his empire with even more dangerous allies.

With the bad blood between them now at a boiling point and Hikuleo a new, terrifying factor in the equation, it's almost certain that Jacob Fatu's quest for revenge is only just beginning.
