A new championship match has been confirmed for WWE Night of Champions, with two former teammates set to face off one-on-one.
Jacob Fatu finally turned on Solo Sikoa at Money in the Bank, attacking him while he was climbing the ladder to cost him the Money in the Bank ladder match.
Solo Sikoa will get the opportunity to win a different prize on June 28, with the Bloodline member now set to challenge for Jacob Fatu’s US Championship.
This bout was announced on the June 20 SmackDown episode, following Fatu deciding against re-joining Solo Sikoa.
The following match preview was shared on WWE.com:
United States Champion Jacob Fatu with take on his former ally Solo Sikoa in a highly-personal title showdown at WWE Night of Champions.
Although Fatu captured the United States Title, Solo seemed to feel he was superior to The Samoan Werewolf, bringing in JC Mateo without Fatu knowing and belittling the titleholder behind his back.
After Fatu overheard one of these digs, however, he had enough and ultimately cost Sikoa his opportunity to capture the Money in the Bank contract as he screamed “I hate you, Solo!”
After Solo failed in his attempt to bring Fatu back into the fold, he and Mateo launched a two-on-one assault on their former “brother” on SmackDown, a move that brought Jimmy Uso to the ring to aid the champion and led directly to the Night of Champions title matchup.
WWE Night of Champions streams live from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, June 28, at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on Peacock in the United States and on Netflix everywhere else.
Also announced for Night of Champions, John Cena will defend his WWE Championship against CM Punk, and Dominik Mysterio will put his Intercontinental Title on the line against AJ Styles.
