In WWE, microphone skills hold as much significance as in-ring abilities. Even the most talented wrestlers can struggle if they fail to engage the audience. Fortunately for Jacob Fatu, he has the support of Solo Sikoa, despite some current tensions, to assist with his promotional efforts. So far, their collaboration appears effective, benefiting the Samoan wrestling legacy.
Recently, two former allies faced off in a steel cage match for two US titles during SummerSlam night. Solo Sikoa retained his championship, having held the title since defeating Fatu at WWE Night of Champions in June. On Pete Rosenberg’s Cheap Heat Podcast, Fatu shared how he helped Solo, along with some advice from Tama Tonga, to overcome his anxiety about speaking on WWE TV. Fatu admitted he initially didn’t expect much, as speaking was his weak spot, particularly since indie wrestling rarely involved promos. His confidence has notably grown since debuting on WWE SmackDown on June 21, 2024.
Their rivalry began when Fatu betrayed Solo at Bank PLE in June 2025. Instead of Solo cashing in his opportunity against Seth Rollins at SummerSlam, Fatu helped Rollins win by disrupting Solo’s ladder move. This betrayal caused a lasting feud that traces back to tensions resurfacing in February. Looking ahead to the upcoming PLE event in Paris, fans wonder if Fatu will get a rematch. If not, he might partner with wrestlers like Tara Tonga, Tonga Roa, or JC Mateo, possibly teaming with the Usos to face Solo and his allies. The storyline’s development promises exciting moments for fans.
Fan Take: This evolving feud between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa highlights the deep storytelling that propels WWE beyond just athleticism, showing the importance of character development and promos. For fans, it means thrilling clashes and emotional investments that keep the sport engaging and unpredictable.
