Uncle Howdy walked away with the lantern on the April 3 episode of WWE SmackDown but it only happened after tensions boiled over between Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga. The situation had been building throughout SmackDown, with Solo refusing to let the lantern leave his possession. Tama questioned why they were even fighting over it in the first place, pointing out that the lantern had caused nothing but problems. That disagreement created visible tension between the two before the match even started. Later in the night, Uncle Howdy faced Tama Tonga in a match tied to control of the lantern. During the bout, Solo came to ringside holding the lantern despite previously saying he would stay backstage, creating a distraction that added to the frustration between him and Tama. After Uncle Howdy secured the victory with Sister Abigail, the focus quickly shifted to the growing tension at ringside. Solo and Tama began arguing about Solo getting involved, with Tama clearly upset that Solo interfered when he didnt want the help. That argument ended up changing everything. Tama grabbed the lantern from Solo and placed it on the mat, giving Uncle Howdy the chance to take it back. Tama then held Solo back, preventing him from interfering as Howdy picked up the lantern and left with it in his possession. With Uncle Howdy now back in control of the lantern following the events of the April 3 SmackDown, the tension between Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga is now impossible to ignore, and the fallout from their argument could lead to bigger problems moving forward. Do you think Solo Sikoa and Tama Tongas argument will lead to a split, or will they regroup and try to take the lantern back from Uncle Howdy?
