A WWE personality has predicted that Solo Sikoa could offer to leave his Tribal Chief position by giving up his Ula Fala to a rising SmackDown Superstar. Sam Roberts believes if Sikoa falls short of defeating Roman Reigns in their eventual match, The Street Champ could ask Jacob Fatu to take up his position in The Bloodline.
Though WWE has been laying seeds of dissension between Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu, the 32-year-old has proved his loyalty to The Bloodline leader. On this week's edition of SmackDown on USA Network, Sikoa will lock horns with Cody Rhodes for the latter's Undisputed WWE Title inside a Steel Cage. While Fatu could get involved and try to help Sikoa win, Roman Reigns could also return to exact revenge on the stable.
In the recent episode of the Notsam Wrestling podcast, WWE analyst Sam Roberts predicted that when Solo Sikoa eventually faces Reigns, he could suffer a crushing loss. The RAW Talk host added that this could lead to Sikoa offering the Ula Fala to Jacob Fatu, only for The Samoan Werewolf to turn it down and yet again reinforce his loyalty to his leader.
"I think Roman Reigns beats Solo Sikoa, only to find out he's not yet conquered this new Bloodline because he can't get past Jacob Fatu. And maybe you have Solo put his version of the Ula Fala on Jacob Fatu because Solo Sikoa loses to Roman Reigns. Maybe you have Jacob Fatu allow the Boy Prince to continue being the Boy Prince,'' he said.
Roberts added:
Even though he lost to Roman Reigns, Jacob Fatu is still there because he loves Solo. Maybe he loves him so much that even if he loses to Roman, he will not allow Solo to give up his Ula Fala because he needs Solo Sikoa to be The Tribal Chief." (From 35:43 - 36:37)

Cody Rhodes says he will acknowledge Solo Sikoa as the Tribal Chief if The Bloodline leader defeats him
On the recent SmackDown LowDown, Cody Rhodes claimed he wouldn't hesitate to acknowledge Sikoa as The Tribal Chief if The Street Champ defeated the reigning champion in the Steel Cage Match.
The American Nightmare confessed that he was slightly concerned about stepping inside the steel cage despite having prior experience competing inside the structure, unlike his opponent.
"I'd be a fool to say I was not concerned. I'd be a fool to say I didn't have a little trepidation, a little fear about it. But I have been in many a Steel Cage, and Solo Sikoa has never been in one. We said it out there: the Ula Fala, The Bloodline revolves around that thing. Well, the WWE revolves around this—the Undisputed WWE Championship. If Solo is Tribal Chief enough to defeat me, however, he does it, I'll stand in that ring in front of God, in front of the whole world, and I'll acknowledge him," Cody said.
Considering this week's SmackDown marks the show's return to the USA Network, fans can expect the company to pull off some surprises this Friday night.
