Braun Strowman & Solo Sikoa Return To WWE, Ex-WWE Superstar Makes Return To NXT, More
Solo Sikoa made his return to WWE television after losing to Roman Reigns in a Tribal Combat match on the premiere episode of WWE Monday Night RAW back on January 6.
During this week’s show, Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga interrupted a match that saw Jimmy Uso and Carmelo Hayes facing off in singles action. Fatu and Tonga took out both men.
Solo Sikoa came to the ring and immediately walked out. Jacob Fatu then took the microphone and told the crowd in San Diego to sit down and witness his destruction. LA Knight and Braun Strowman came down to the ringside area to make the save, but The Bloodline wound up leaving.

LA Knight atacando por detrás a Jacob Fatu y a Tama Tonga, tras que les costase el combate de la semana pasada por el US Championship. Y, luego, es Braun Strowman el que sale a asistirle.
