The situation of the WWE United States Championship has taken an interesting turn since Wrestlemania 41, after Jacob Fatu defeated the Knight to become champion. Although Knight was destined to return for a rematch, Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest also got involved in the scene of the title, creating a story of multiple competitors that has been well received by fans.
WWE Backlash 2025 will have Jacob Fatu as one of the protagonists, defending his title against Knight, McIntyre and Priest in a fatal combat of four corners. Considering the stellar power that this confrontation will have, it will undoubtedly attract much attention to the product.
The fight was initially considered a triple threat battle, but only Sikoa managed to remind Nick Aldis that Drew McIntyre was the number one contender for the title, so the latter was also added to the fight. However, Sikoa could end up replacing Damian Priest to get involved in the battle in backlash.
Only Sikoa has not missed any chance to cause chaos inside and outside the ring in recent months, and could do the same after racks this time. The former NXT American champion could unleash Damian Priest and get him out of WWE television for a while.
In addition, the former tribal boss could move some threads after racks and get involved in combat. This could be the perfect way for The Bloodline's story to continue once again and intensify the cracks between Sikoa and Fatu for a possible rivalry in the future.
Likewise, Sikoa could be the reason why Fatu loses his title, which would instantly convert The Samoan Werewolf into one of the most popular babyfaces of the headquarters based in Stamford.
WWE needs to program a rivalry between only Sikoa and Jacob Fatu
Only Sikoa lost the status of tribal chief in RAW's debut in Netflix, which marked a turning point for him. Since then, the character has not been the same and has been presented playing a more secondary role against Jacob Fatu in recent months.
With Jacob Fatu as the new United States champion, it is clear that the latter has taken the place of Sikoa in the blue brand. However, considering the possible story that could be programmed between both men, it is evident that the status of Sikoa could take an important turn when betraying The Samoan Werewolf.
In addition, this could be the best way to help Sikoa intensify his character as Heel and generate fans rejection, while Jacob Fatu becomes one of the most dangerous babyfaces that the quadrilateral has ever stepped on. Fans will have to wait and see what WWE has prepared for both men in the future.
