The version of The Bloodline led by Solo Sikoa has officially fractured. The faction imploded during the June 20 episode of WWE SmackDown, culminating in United States Champion Jacob Fatu and Jimmy Uso standing side-by-side against Sikoa and his newest ally, JC Mateo.
The dramatic split was the centerpiece of a tense in-ring segment. Sikoa began with an appeal for unity, attempting to persuade Fatu to remain loyal to his cause.
“Fatu is All I got … So come back to the family,” Sikoa pleaded.
Fatu forcefully rejected the offer, accusing Sikoa of manipulating him and harboring jealousy over his United States Championship. Fatu then challenged Sikoa to fight for the title if he wanted it so badly. The verbal confrontation turned physical when Sikoa attempted a Samoan Spike, which Fatu countered with a headbutt.

The brawl quickly escalated as JC Mateo rushed to the ring to aid Sikoa, creating a two-on-one assault on the champion. The odds were evened when Jimmy Uso appeared, making a decisive save for Fatu. Together, Uso and Fatu cleared the ring, leaving them standing tall. The segment concluded with a tense staredown between the new, uneasy allies, united by their shared animosity toward Sikoa.
This definitive break is the culmination of months of friction that began after Fatu won the United States Championship from LA Knight at WrestleMania. Sikoa’s public attempts to take credit for Fatu’s victory created the initial rift. The tension was further amplified when Sikoa introduced JC Mateo into the group, a move Fatu did not approve of.
The conflict reached a boiling point at Money in the Bank where Fatu openly betrayed Sikoa, grabbing his leg to prevent a victory and attacking him.
“I HATE YOU SOLO!!!” Fatu screamed during the assault.
The stage for the final confrontation was set on the previous week’s show, when Sikoa issued an ultimatum for Fatu to apologize, leading directly to the faction’s complete collapse.
