A potential scenario is developing where Solo Sikoa’s rivalry with Jacob Fatu could directly result in Fatu losing the WWE United States Championship. Speculation points toward a potential SummerSlam match where Drew McIntyre could become the new champion, facilitated by Sikoa’s intervention.
The conflict originates from Fatu’s opposition to his former leader at Money in the Bank 2025. In the aftermath, Sikoa delivered an ultimatum to the current United States Champion: realign with him or be taken down. This has set a clear direction for a future title match between the two, which is anticipated to occur soon, possibly at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Such timing would allow for a different challenger to be positioned against Fatu for SummerSlam, with the 40-year-old McIntyre emerging as a likely candidate. While Fatu is not expected to lose the championship directly to Sikoa, the feud could escalate through other means.

The basis for this speculation is that Sikoa, driven by a combination of insecurity and a desire for control reminiscent of Roman Reigns, could interfere and cost Fatu the title against McIntyre. This action would also serve as a callback to a previous event, as Sikoa was responsible for McIntyre losing the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Clash at the Castle in 2022. This turn of events would expose a level of hypocrisy in McIntyre, should he accept a victory under such circumstances. For now, this potential development remains speculative.
