WWE has officially confirmed that steel cage matches will take place during the Summerslam Premium Live events on August 2nd and 3rd at MetLife Stadium. At a previous WrestleMania event, Jacob Fatu captured the US Championship from LA Knight, but soon after, Solo Sikoa betrayed Fatu. With assistance from J.C. Mateo, Tongaroa, and Taratonga, Sikoa claimed the title in the Champions Nights. On the July 18th episode of WWE SmackDown, an incident involving Cicor, Mateo, Roa, and Tonga was portrayed as a car accident with others taking responsibility. At the arena, Sikoa and his faction accused Fatu of causing trouble, but police intervened, clearing Fatu and removing him from the car. Fatu confronted Sikoa and his group, leading to a fight with Jimmy Uso. WWE official Adam Pierce then announced that Sikoa will defend the US Championship against Fatu in a steel cage match at Summerslam. Eventually, the police detained Sikoa for causing further disruptions.
Fan Take: This announcement is a thrilling development for WWE fans, promising intense action and high stakes at Summerslam. The steel cage match adds a layer of drama and physicality that could significantly elevate the rivalry between Fatu and Sikoa, potentially reshaping the US title scene.
