Last weekend SummerSlam aired live from Cleveland and Solo Sikoa challenged Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship in a Bloodline Rules match. Ultimately Cody Rhodes retained after Roman Reigns returned and hit Solo with the Superman Punch followed by the spear.
This week on Friday Night SmackDown, Solo Sikoa made his way out to the ring during the main event segment accompanied by Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
Solo Sikoa grabbed a mic and told Tulsa, OK to acknowledge him. The fans booed as Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa stood behind Solo and held up the WWE Tag Team Titles. The fans chanted for Roman. Solo addressed Roman and said he’s The Tribal Chief now. He told Roman if he wants the Ula Fala then he needs to come get it.
Roman’s music hit to a big reaction from the crowd. The Tribal Chief made his way out into the entrance area as pyro went off. Tama Tonga approached Roman as he got closer to the ring and Roman took him out. Reigns then grabbed steel ring steps and attacked Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa as the fans chanted “Tribal Chief!”
The Tribal Chief stared at Solo Sikoa in the ring then Solo took off his jacket. Roman entered the ring, paused, then charged at Solo. Reigns hit a Superman Punch and attempted to hit the spear on Solo, but Tonga Loa pulled him out of the ring. Roman looked down at the Ula Fala on the ring mat as the fans continued to chant “Tribal Chief!”
Roman briefly picked it up, but Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa attacked Roman Reigns then handed the Ula Fala to Solo Sikoa. Roman caught a second wind then took them both out with a Superman Punch. Tonga Loa got hit with the spear then Roman ran around the ring and speared Tama Tonga through the barricade. He grabbed a steel chair and repeatedly hit Tonga Loa as Solo Sikoa looked on and told Roman that he’s the chief now. The show went off the air with Roman Reigns holding his arms up while the fans loudly chanted “Tribal Chief” once again.
