SummerSlam 2055 will roll around and remnants of The Bloodline story will still be pushed onto PLE. There's a factory line of pro wrestling excellence coming from those Samoan loins, and big Talla Tonga is just the latest in a parade of newbies who have gatecrashed The Bloodline/New Bloodline/MFT story over the past 5 years or so.

On Sunday, one Solo Sikoa steps into a solid steel cage vs. Jacob Fatu. The narrative is simple: Solo now has nowhere else to run. He tried to get Jacob locked up for a hit and run car accident on TV, got caught and is now paying the punishment by being locked inside a jail cell-like structure with Fatu. That should spell disaster for the champ, and a title change.

Survey says: Nnnnnnnn nnnnnnnn.

It hasn't been long since Sikoa introduced Talla to help him strip the United States Title away from Jacob at Night Of Champions over in Saudi Arabia. That was late June, and a month or so worth of work doesn't seem long enough for Solo's treachery. The easy play here would be reversing that NOC result by putting the strap back on Fatu and calling it a day, but WWE shouldn't do that.

Talla, Tonga Loa, Jeff Cobb and others can get involved on Sikoa's behalf to make sure he walks out of MetLife Stadium with that title reign intact. Meanwhile, Jimmy Uso will be a valuable ally to Jacob, but it won't be enough to take the belt back.

Solo must survive, then WWE can keep the MFT vs. New New Bloodline story going until Survivor Series.
