Jacob Fatu has lost his WWE U.S. Championship to Solo Sikoa at Night of Champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, thanks to a plethora of outside interference. Sikoa and Fatu's match was going to form before Tonga Loa returned from injury to attack the latter.

Hikuleo's name was never uttered during the Night of Champions broadcast. That should have been a major clue that something was up.
