Saturday Nights Main Event on July 12 took place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. There were many reasons for fans to tune into the long-running WWE primetime show on network television, and Jimmy Uso was hoping to walk out as a champion.
Solo Sikoa has been a real problem since he beat Jacob Fatu for the United States Title. Now his own brother, Jimmy Uso, has stepped up to stop him. This match went second of the night, after Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton went to war and Jelly Roll suffered a Claymore Kick.
After 15 years in WWE, this marked Jimmy Usos first-ever singles title match in the company. He started things with a ton of momentum as the Atlanta fans cheered him on and chanted Uce-O!
The two legit brothers fought through a commercial break and they ended up on the apron. After a back-and-forth, Big Jim put Solo on the back of his neck with a suplex onto the hardest part of the ring.
The match continued as they traded momentum, and there were also some near falls along the way. After a skirmish with the MFTs getting involved, Solo Sikoa stole the match with a quick roll-up pin.
After the match was over, the MFTs slid in the ring to continue the assault on Jimmy Uso. Solo Sikoa watched on, loving every moment of the attack. Then the MFTs held Jimmy Uco as Solo nailed a Samoan Spike on his older brother. Suddenly, Jacob Fatus music hit and he made his big return as Solo Sikoa celebrated.
Its been a few weeks since Jacob Fatu was around, after the MFTs powerbombed him through the announce table. Fatu got in the ring with all gas and no brakes as he dog walked the MFTs out of the ring. This was quite a return, and its anyones guess where Fatu is going to go from here.
We will keep an eye on this story, because it will likely eventually bring Roman Reigns back into the picture. After all, Solo Sikoa keeps bringing up the OTC, and that will probably come back to bite him in the end. We do know that the Samoan Werewolf is back.
Whats your take on Solo Sikoas booking at this point? Let us know what you think in the comments section!
