US title match added to WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event
A United States title match is the latest addition to the card for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event this weekend.
Solo Sikoa will put his championship on the line against OG Bloodline member Jimmy Uso at the Saturday, July 12 event in Atlanta. The match was made official this morning via a video that SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis posted on social media.
With assistance from the debuting Talla Tonga (Hikuleo), Sikoa won the U.S. title belt from Jacob Fatu on June 28 at Night of Champions. This is Sikoa’s first main roster title reign, and this match against Uso will be his first defense.
The announcement of this title bout comes after Uso & Fatu defeated Sikoa & JC Mateo on SmackDown last Friday. Fatu pinned Sikoa to get the victory, but Sikoa, Mateo, Talla Tonga, and Tanga Loa stood tall to end the show after laying out Uso and Fatu.
State Farm Arena is hosting the Saturday Night’s Main Event episode, with the card set to be headlined by Goldberg’s retirement match against World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. The show will be broadcast live on both NBC and Peacock starting at 8 p.m. Eastern time.
