Tonight’s (July 10) episode of SmackDown featured another segment where Royce Keys said he’s been loyal to Jacob Fatu for the last 14 years, and that makes them brothers. He just can’t stand to see Fatu following orders from Roman Reigns. Big Jim Uso was also there to once again dismiss Royce’s argument and tell him to get out of their family business. The big difference this week is that their tense conversation took place inside the ring, rather than a random location backstage.
Fatu responded this
time, telling his non-blood brother Keys that he can say anything he wants about anyone else that he wants, but just don’t go there with The OTC. One thing led to another, and Fatu abandoned Big Jim Uso so that he could fight Royce on his own in an official match.
Solo Sikoa showed up at the end of the match to attack Uso. That immediately brought Fatu back down to ringside to get his hands on Sikoa. Royce was distracted inside the ring by their brawl, which allowed Big Jim to pick up the win with a spear.
A frustrated Keys got in Fatu’s face after the match, so Jacob finally took him out with a superkick. The Samoan Werewolf then scared the living shit out of Sikoa as he charged in for a killing blow with a steel chair wrapped around his head, only to stop short at the last second. Fatu instead issued an ultimatum for Sikoa to show up on Raw next week for a conversation with Roman Reigns, or else next time he won’t show him any mercy.
The terrified look in Sikoa’s eyes might be that of a man who will now change his tune about acknowledging the Tribal Chief and falling in line as part of The Bloodline.
