Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa Clash in Steel Cage at SummerSlam

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Solo Sikoa will defend his United States Championship against Jacob Fatu in a steel cage match, one of the highlights scheduled for SummerSlam on August 3, 2025, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Sikoa won the title from Fatu at the Night of Champions in June, setting the stage for this highly anticipated rematch.

The rivalry between the two cousins has intensified over recent months, especially after Fatu turned on Sikoa, prompting the latter to form a new faction known as MFT. This group now includes JC Mateo, Talla Tonga, and Tonga Loa. “This steel cage match is the perfect way to settle the score and keep outside interference at bay,” said Ryan Wohl, a wrestling promoter and fan. “Fatu knows he must face Sikoa alone to reclaim his championship.”

Fatu’s previous reign as US Champion lasted only 70 days, and many believe he deserves another chance. “Fatu is known as the ‘Samoan Werewolf’ for a reason; he has the strength and skill to become a two-time champion,” added Wohl.

The steel cage match format will create a one-on-one environment, which has fans excited for opportunities and challenges Sikoa and Fatu will face in the ring. Even without outside support, fans expect both competitors will make the most of this unique setting. “It’s set to be a legendary match,” Wohl predicted.

Sikoa steps into the match with confidence, having successfully defended his title multiple times, but Fatu’s determination to reclaim his lost glory adds an intriguing dynamic. “With so many personal stakes involved, this match is more than just about the title; it’s personal,” stated Wohl.

As the event approaches, the stakes continue to rise, and predictions vary among experts. Many anticipate that the cage match’s conclusion could influence future storylines within the WWE. The atmosphere in the stadium is expected to be electric as fans gear up for this pivotal clash in the SummerSlam lineup. The question remains: can Fatu overcome his cousin and reclaim the US Championship?
