Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso and Rey Fenix Faces Each Other for MITB Qualification on WWE SmackDown

The race to MITB Qualification started today

Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso have been involved in quite a long history. From fighting together in OG Bloodline to fighting against each other while battling for their Bloodlines, they have seen it all. Rey Fenix was added to the qualification match against Big Jim and Solo Sikoa. Solo had an uneven advantage due to the presence of Jacob Fatu and Jeff Cobb at the ringside.

Rey Fenix delivered a stunning performance, showcasing the variety of moves he has. Big Jim was also able to counter many moves and deliver a brutal spear to Rey Fenix, but the latter kicked out. Rey Fenix and Jimmy ganged up on Solo Sikoa and kept him out of the ring at the beginning of the match. There was one moment when the referee forgot to count when Rey Fenix covered Solo Sikoa.
