WWE SmackDown: Jacob Fatu Returns the Favor and Save Jimmy Uso on Friday Night SmackDown

Jimmy Uso got a friend in Jacob Fatu.

Solo Sikoa and JC Mateo have been going after Jimmy Uso to get him to join them. Each time they try, they get bluntly rejected, and the same thing happens again. Solo Sikoa sends JC Mateo to fight against Jimmy Uso. Jimmy Uso dominated the match, but outside interruption from Solo Sikoa not just distracted him but also gave JC Mateo a chance to catch his breath.

“Let’s give Jimmy one more opportunity to come back to the family.”

You must be focused in a match against an athlete like JC Mateo. A slight distraction is enough to cost you the match, and it is what happened. The interruption from Solo Sikoa made Jimmy Uso walk straight into the Tour of Islands. JC Mateo won the match, and Solo asked Jimmy to join them. His request was met with a thunderous slap from his big brother Jimmy.

Read the room, Solo!

An enemy of my enemy is a friend. This is well suited for Jacob Fatu and Jimmy Uso, who have become frenemies now. Jimmy Uso helped Jacob Fatu last week during Solo Sikoa and JC Mateo’s two-on-one assault on him. Jacob Fatu was quick to return the favor. Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa have not been seeing eye to eye ever since the latter called Jacob Fatu, All Gas and no brains and he retaliated by costing Solo the MITB ladder match.

Jacob will defend his WWE United States Championship against Solo Sikoa at Night of Champions tomorrow.
