Drew McIntyre became the number one candidate in the American Jacob Fatu championship last week on Smackdown when he beat the Knight by disqualification. The DQ occurred thanks to the interference of Damian Priest and Solo Sikoa. Fatu also presented himself to destroy everyone, because why not?
Solo’s penchant for external interference continued in the episode of this evening (May 2) of Smackdown when he ruined the end of a match between Knight and Priest. Later in the show, the director general Nick Aldis reacted to these disqualifications by reserving Fatu in a 3 -way title match in Backlash against Knight and Priest.
Solo Sikoa did not appreciate Nick’s decision, and properly stressed that Drew McIntyre is the number one candidate and deserves the match for the title. The bulb went out in the head of the GM at that time, so he added Drew to the match for the title to make a fatal 4-track to the reaction.
Sikoa accused Aldis of trying to screw Jacob, which Nick quickly replied that Solo is the one who does this.
Oh my boy.
