A WWE star’s debut match has been announced for tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown ahead of SummerSlam 2025.

Back at WWE Night of Champions, Solo Sikoa captured his first championship on the WWE main roster, when he defeated Jacob Fatu to win the United States Championship.

Solo’s victory came following interferences from both the returning Tonga Loa and the debuting Talla Tonga, who helped form Solo Sikoa’s new MFTs group alongside Solo and JC Mateo.

Solo will be locked inside a steel cage with Jacob at SummerSlam, but before then, we will see the in-ring debut of Talla Tonga.

Per WWE, Talla Tonga will make his WWE in-ring debut on tonight’s episode of SmackDown, facing off against Jimmy Uso.
