There will be nowhere to run and nowhere to hide for Solo Sikoa at WWE SummerSlam.
Not only will the Men’s United States Champion be defending his title against his former enforcer, Jacob Fatu, but both men will be locked inside of a steel cage.
Raw General Manager Adam Pearce, filling in for SmackDown GM Nick Aldis this week, made the match official Friday night in San Antonio. He did so after Solo allegedly tried to frame the Samoan Werewolf for a hit and run car accident in the parking lot of the Frost Bank Center at the start of SmackDown.

After being cleared by investigators later in the night, Jacob Fatu and Jimmy Uso orchestrated an ambush of Sikoa and his MFT’s and they would overcome the 2-on-4 disadvantage with the help a steel chair.
Sikoa fled the ring, but before he could make his escape, he was cut off by Adam Pearce. That’s when Solo was informed of his SummerSlam title defense. Pearce said that since Sikoa wanted Fatu locked up so badly, then both men will locked up together at the ‘Biggest Party of the Summer’.
