Solo Sikoa reveals Jacob Fatu's status to Paul Heyman backstage on SmackDown

Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman have had an extremely tense relationship following WrestleMania 40 - with Solo Sikoa taking an iron grip on The Bloodline - introducing Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and most recently, Jacob Fatu. Speaking of the latter, Solo revealed his currrnt status to Paul Heyman tonight.

Backstage on SmackDown, Heyman went to Solo and begged him to allow him to be his Wiseman the same way he has been to Roman Reigns. Solo Sikoa, in a calm moment, said that he followed Heyman's advice and revealed that Jacob Fatu was not at Madison Square Garden.

Jacob Fatu's absence was notable in the opening segment of SmackDown, where Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens went hunting for The Bloodline and started a huge brawl - culminating with Tonga Loa going through a table and security getting taken out.

It took Nick Aldis getting the New York Police Department to finally get the three big babyfaces of SmackDown out of the arena. Looking at Heyman's face, you can certainly see that he is going through the stress of it all.

Every single week, the "We want Roman" chants grow stronger, and there's likely nobody who agrees with this sentiment more than The Wiseman does. It has indeed been a difficult few months for Paul.
