During the June 13 episode of WWE SmackDown, Jacob Fatu addressed his recent actions and confirmed the dissolution of his alliance with Solo Sikoa and his faction.

In an in-ring segment, Fatu detailed the motivations behind his turn, stating that Sikoa had told him he would be “nothing without him.” Fatu explained that family and shared blood do not grant the right to take credit for another’s work. This sentiment, he noted, is what compelled him to intervene at Money in the Bank. He declared that his time following Sikoa is over and that he is now on his own.

The declaration provides context for Fatu’s actions at the Money in the Bank event, where he appeared to be aiding Sikoa before attacking him and pulling him from the ladder, preventing him from securing the briefcase. Fatu’s move to work alone aligns with the presentation of his “Samoan Werewolf” character, which is portrayed as an independent figure.

Following Fatu’s statement, it was established that Sikoa has issued an ultimatum for the next week. This leaves Fatu operating as a solo act while Sikoa is currently aligned with JC Mateo.

The status of the remaining members of the faction, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, remains uncertain. Both have been inactive for an extended period due to injuries, and it is unclear if they will side with Sikoa, join Fatu, or operate as a separate entity upon their return.
