Solo Sikoa had a lot of backup this afternoon, including the WWE debut of Hikuleo to defeat Jacob Fatu for the United States Championship.
The numbers game was against the Samoan Werewolf at Night of Champions when Sikoa enlisted the help of JC Mateo, the returning Tanga Loa, and the debuting Hikuleo to become the new United States Champion for the first time.
The finish of the match saw Hikuleo get involved when the referee’s back was turned. He chokeslammed Jacob Fatu on the commentary table before tossing him into Sikoa, who hit the Samoan Spike to pick up the pinfall victory.

It should be noted that Michael Cole and Wade Barrett refused to call him by his New Japan name. So, another potential name change could be on the horizon. What WWE might use is anyone’s guess, but they did trademark the name Talla Tonga last year.
What do you make of Hikuleo’s WWE debut? Are you disappointed that Jacob Fatu’s reign as United States Champion has come to an end? Let us know your overall thoughts by sounding off in the comments section below.
