‘You Should Have Stayed With Me’: Solo Sikoa Addresses Jacob Fatu After Tribal Combat Loss To Roman Reigns At WWE Clash In Italy 2026

Solo Sikoa has addressed the outcome of the WWE Clash in Italy main event, which saw Jacob Fatu fail to dethrone Roman Reigns as Tribal Chief.

At WWE Clash in Italy, World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns defended his title and that of Tribal Chief against Roman Reigns after weeks of antagonism.

The May 31 Premium Live Event saw Reigns finally bring the Bloodline family member into line by defeating him in Tribal Combat, with an acknowledgement ceremony now set to place on WWE Raw.

Reacting to what transpired at Clash in Italy, Solo Sikoa shared his thoughts on the loss, taking potshots at Fatu on Instagram story.

Sharing footage of Reigns dominant, Sikoa captioned the footage with:

“Smh… you should have stayed with me.”

There was an additional caption which, once again, had Fatu very much in the firing line, sharing:

“Look at you now, Jacob.”

“SMH” would appear in a separate story, with an image of the MFTs in the background watching Fatu after the match.

While Reigns may have quelled the rebellious side of Fatu, the World Heavyweight Champion would call out a number of stars, including Cody Rhodes and LA Knight.

The Never-Ending Story

No matter how many schisms may exist, the Bloodline remain on the Island of Relevancy in WWE.

The make-up of the faction may have changed over the years, but Roman Reigns has pretty much been the centerpiece of the collective, holding the rank of Tribal Chief, despite Solo Sikoa proclaiming himself to be so after WrestleMania 40.

Sikoa’s desire for power has seen him lead The Bloodline, rebranding the faction as The MFTs, with a much slimmer faction seeing him lead Tama and Talla Tonga. Meanwhile, Reigns has reunited with The Usos, and now stands a chance of having Fatu in the fold, depending on the acknowledgement ceremony.

The sight of The MFTs staring down Fatu and Reigns post-match at WWE Clash in Italy strongly suggests that Sikoa and Reigns are likely to be in each other’s orbits for the foreseeable future.

As for Fatu, he has previously teased the possibility of unfinished business with Solo Sikoa, having had issues with the leader last year.

Looking ahead, there are members of the legendary Anoa’i/Fatu family still to make their way to WWE, with Zilla Fatu being one such star that Paul Heyman thinks should be signed.
