This fan might've been one of few who wanted to see Solo Sikoa win the United States Title before Night Of Champions happened, if only because it made sense and defo gives Fatu something to be mad about then chase. The bout's finish, including Solo’s Samoan Spike, was very well handled. Everything from Tala Tonga's debut impact to Sikoa's smirk upon winning was sweet.

Onto the rematch at SummerSlam then.

A steel cage effort sounds logical, but there are enough Bloodline bodies knocking around that WWE could put on a lumberjack situation too. Just keep the zombies at bay. If Scotty 2 Hotty reaches for the prosthetics, somebody hit him in the worm. Seriously though, all this undead Too Cool chatter is taking away from the cracking title change at Night Of Champions.

Critics will bemoan Jacob's relatively short reign. He only won the strap from LA Knight at WrestleMania 41 around 70 days ago, so it's hardly like Fatu was ripe for losing his prize in Saudi Arabia. He didn't need to be. Sometimes, a title change just makes perfect sense even if it feels premature to those staunchly defensive of surefire upper card hits like Jacob.

The beauty is in the chase, and the glory will come from Fatu ripping through everybody Solo has surrounded himself with to finally hold that United States gold high above his head again. If you thought Jacob's run with the title was short, then Sikoa's could be a real blink and you'll miss it haul.

That US Title will be back on Jacob soon enough.
