    Unexpected Title Change On SmackDown

    New Champions!

    The March 20 episode of SmackDown featured a tag team championship match with MFT’s JC Mateo & Tama Tonga defending the title against the new alliance of Damian Priest and R-Truth.

    The other MFT members got involved towards the ending of the bout as expected. Solo Sikoa ran interference, allowing Talla Tonga to chokeslam Truth on the apron. The wrestling veteran, however, still somehow kicked out of a pinfall attempt from Mateo.

    The Wyatt Sicks then made an appearance to even the odds. The trio of Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, and Joe Gacy first came down to attack the MFT, and then Uncle Howdy locked the Mandible Claw on Solo. Mateo saved his leader and gave him the Wyatt lantern to defend himself.

    The distraction cost the champions the bout, as Mateo got back in the ring. Priest first took out Tama Tonga, allowing Truth to hit the Attitude Adjustment on JC for the win.

    This is an unexpected development as Damian Priest was originally believed to be set for a program with Royce Keys coming out of the Royal Rumble. These plans were seemingly nixed as part of the big WrestleMania shakeup and the tag team of Priest and Truth was born. The duo had only competed in two matches as a team before the tittle win and we’ll have to see how long they hold the belts.

  • Jacob Fatu Teases Future Clash With Solo Sikoa in WWE

    Jacob Fatu Teases Future Clash With Solo Sikoa in WWE

    Former WWE United States Champion Jacob Fatu recently shared his thoughts on his relationship with Solo Sikoa and teased a future interaction within the Bloodline storyline.

    In an interview with Esteban Ramirez, Fatu reflected on his relationship with Sikoa, the first man to pin him in WWE. He acknowledged the “love-and-hate type of situation” between them.

    Jacob Fatu said he respects what Solo Sikoa and his group have going on, but isn’t interested in joining them. He described his relationship with Solo as complicated—both positive and tense—while acknowledging Solo’s major role in his career, including being the first to pin him in WWE and helping bring him in. He also said Solo’s recent statements were genuine.

    “Hey man, as of now, the MFTs have got something good going on over there. Do I want to be a part of the group? Come on now. But overall, it’s a love-and-hate type of situation with me and Solo. Solo was the very first man in WWE that pinned Jacob Fatu. Solo was the man that brought Jacob Fatu up in there.

    “Let’s keep it 100, those promos – not even promos, that work of art – that Solo was talking about, it’s all 100. It was all real.

    ‘The Samoan Werewolf’ said he used to only care about himself, but acknowledges that Solo Sikoa gave him an opportunity when no one else would and genuinely looked out for him.

    “Yeah, Jacob didn’t care about nothing but myself. Yeah, Solo did bring me in when nobody wanted to touch me. Yeah, Solo was really looking out, not only in his Bloodline, but in real. So yeah, it is love and hate, but overall, they up right now. Now you’ve got Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Talla Tonga, JC Mateo. They’re running it right now with The Wyatts, but I can’t even answer your question right now. All I can just say is our paths eventually are going to cross.”

    Fatu debuted on SmackDown in June 2024 and joined Solo Sikoa’s version of The Bloodline. However, The Bloodline turned into MFT in June last year and Fatu turned on Solo at Money in the Bank. They were eventually involved in a rivalry.

    Fatu had been off WWE television since October 2025 due to a dental injury.  He is currently involved in a feud with Drew McIntyre and they will go head-to-head at tonight’s WWE SmackDown in Raleigh, North Carolina.

    WWE Rumors: Saraya Available for Royal Rumble Return?

    Speculation is building regarding a potential WWE return for Saraya. The multi-time Women’s world Champion has been actively training, shaking off ring rust, fueling the WWE rumors of an imminent comeback.

    Adding fuel to the fire, Saraya\’s availability for the Royal Rumble has been confirmed. She was originally scheduled to appear at Nashville Celebrity Comic Con, which coincided with the Rumble. However, the convention has been rescheduled to February 7th and 8th, freeing up Saraya and other wrestling names like Matt and Jeff Hardy, Lita, Trish Stratus, and Kane. This WWE rumors development significantly increases the chances of seeing Saraya in the Women\’s Royal Rumble match.

    Rumor Killer: 3 Saudi Arabia PLEs Planned for 2026

    The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that WWE is planning to run three premium live events this year, but that is not the case – and the correction comes from a very high placed source: Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority (GEA),

    WWE Rumor: Major Overseas Event to Combat AEW All In?

    As AEW gears up for another All In event in London, WWE rumors suggest that WWE is planning a major overseas event to directly compete with AEW\’s ticket sales.

    According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is considering running a significant show around the same time to counter AEW\’s presence in the UK market.

    Potential Booking for Styles vs. Gunther

    With AJ Styles\’ career on the line against Gunther at the Royal Rumble, the outcome is uncertain. WWE rumors suggest that a potential scenario could see Styles defeating Gunther, only for Gunther to win the Royal Rumble later in the night.

    According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, a loss for Gunther “without that redemption at the end of the show makes no sense.” Winning the Royal Rumble would restore his aura heading into WrestleMania season. The logic checks out, but this one appears to be just connecting dots right now.

  • Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga Capture WWE Tag Team Titles

    Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga of the MFTs defeated Dexter Lumis and Joe Gacy of the Wyatt Sicks to win the WWE Tag Team Titles on the January 23, 2026 episode of WWE SmackDown in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

    The match saw Tama Tonga and Joe Gacy start, with Sikoa quickly tagging in. Chaos erupted in the closing moments as brawls spilled outside the ring. Tama Tonga clashed with Erick Rowan, who had accompanied the champions to ringside.

    Uncle Howdy then interfered, applying the Mandible Claw to Tama Tonga. Sikoa capitalized by hitting Uncle Howdy with a Samoan Spike, then used the Wyatt Sicks\’ lantern to strike Dexter Lumis.

    Tama Tonga sealed the victory with a Cut Throat on Lumis for the pinfall, ending the Wyatt Sicks\’ nearly 200-day title reign that began in July against the Street Profits.
