During SmackDown’s broadcast, Damian Priest’s address regarding his arrival on the brand was interrupted by Jacob Fatu. The confrontation led to a significant revelation about Solo Sikoa’s status with the group.
Fatu declared his respect for Priest while announcing he was “off the leash,” confirming Solo Sikoa had departed from his alliance with Fatu and Tama Tonga. He established that he and Tonga now controlled SmackDown, challenging Priest to either surrender or face consequences.
Priest rejected the ultimatum, initiating the conflict by taking down Tonga. The situation escalated when Tonga joined the assault, with both men targeting Priest. They positioned him in the corner with a steel chair, reminiscent of the attack that hospitalized Braun Strowman last week.
