As revealed during Friday’s SmackDown, United States Champion Jacob Fatu and former Bloodline stablemate Solo Sikoa will go head-to-head for the title at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, June 28.
The match was confirmed in a backstage promo by Fatu on Friday’s SmackDown following an -ring confrontation between the two earlier in the episode.
