00:00Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 250 pounds, he is the United
00:25States Champion, Solo Secoa!
00:36Solo Secoa, who may take up Batu for the United States Championship, back at the end of June,
00:45now marching into the second steel cage match of his career. Pinball submission, escape
00:53from the cage, both feet hitting the floor, Wade, the question is, who does this match
00:57favor, Solo or Jacob?
00:59Well, based on the actions of Solo Secoa and the NFTs over the past several months, it's
01:06been the numbers game that has really exemplified this accumulation of power by Solo Secoa.
01:12The cage, in theory, neutralizes all of that and makes this a one-on-one matchup. Batu against
01:21the man who calls himself Solo, but rarely has been.
01:27Well, this steel cage match for the United States Championship is brought to you by Breathstep.
01:33Kill Bad Breath, become legendary.
01:36Defended that championship against Jimmy Uso at Saturday night's main event last month.
01:50This is mine! This is mine!
01:52This is mine!
01:53Bill Cage, though, as Solo well knows, is a different ballgame.
01:57What a return to great heights it has been for Solo Secoa after the world started writing
02:05him off.
02:06Two, two, and one!
02:10Two, two!
02:12Introducing the Challenger, from Sacramento, California,
02:40weighing in at 291 pounds, the Samoan Werewolf, Jacob Batuu!
02:53Jacob Batuu in his very first SummerSlam, the former United States champion,
02:59heading into his first steel cage match in his WWE career.
03:03This is the fifth time at SummerSlam that we have had a steel cage matchup,
03:08the first since 2001.
03:11Back in 1990, the Ultimate Warrior beat Rick Rude in 94.
03:17Bret Hart with a big victory when he beat his brother Owen in 97.
03:21Mankind beat Hunter Burst Helmsley inside a steel cage at SummerSlam,
03:27and then we had a tag team matchup in a cage back in 2001.
03:31Jacob Batuu, who at one point in his career waved, said,
03:38I love you, Solo!
03:40And now it's nothing but disdain.
03:43Jacob Batuu loved Solo when Jacob Batuu was comfortable in the role of Soldier.
03:48Unfortunately for Solo, Jacob Batuu outgrewed the Soldier's uniform and started making some battle plans of his own.
03:56Those battle plans led him all the way to the United States Championship.
04:02However, Solo and his MFTs brought him back to the family.
04:09The prestigious United States Championship match is underway.
04:15The official Daphne LaShawn inside the cage.
04:19Harley Race, of course, the late great Hall of Famer, the very first United States Champion.
04:24Dozens of WWE Hall of Famers have held this title over the years.
04:28Dozens of WWE Hall of Famers have held this title over the years.
04:42Dozens of WWE Hall of Famers have held this title over the years.
04:46Solo reminding Jacob Batuu that he is again locked in the cage and made some comments about the fact that Jacob has been in jail before.
04:55And Solo Sokoa tried to get him arrested a few weeks back as well.
05:00Solo Sokoa just made one final offer to Jacob Batuu to come back to the family.
05:05That's not going to happen.
05:07I think Jacob's made that pretty clear over the past couple of months.
05:10For Solo Sokoa, he's really got to stop this high octane style of offense from Jacob Batuu.
05:16Yeah, but everyone forgets that Solo Sokoa, the former street fighting champion of the Islands,
05:21the former enforcer of the bloodline,
05:24and this man is double tough too.
05:26He might not be as flashy as Jacob Batuu, but he is just as dangerous.
05:31No doubt, and Jacob Batuu now going to mount Solo in the corner.
05:36Headbutt after headbutt after headbutt by the Samoan werewolves.
05:40This is exactly what Jacob Batuu has wanted.
05:47No more sneak attacks, no more family politics, just pure unadulterated violence.
05:54Yeah, lock me in the cage with Solo and I'll take care of business.
05:57He just delivered that flying corkscrew elbow.
06:00Let's not forget, it was Solo Sokoa that brought Jacob Batuu into the world of WWE after management had consistently said,
06:11Hell no.
06:13Other family members from the Samoan dynasty had said,
06:17Hell no.
06:18This guy is just too dangerous, too uncomfortable.
06:21Oh no!
06:22Jacob walked into the cage by Solo.
06:24And yeah, your point's right, and you are accurate that that did happen,
06:28but that it was the way that Solo treated Jacob once he arrived here.
06:32Looked down upon him, expected him to do menial tasks for him.
06:36Never really appreciated or respected Jacob.
06:39And now Solo!
06:40Splashing him into the cage.
06:42Solo Sokoa.
06:45Knows Jacob Batuu better than anybody is.
06:48Any of us.
06:49He knows exactly how to control Batuu.
06:51Oh!
06:52And let's not forget Solo's bitter, too, Wade.
06:54I mean, Jacob Batuu cost him the Money in the Bank contract.
06:58So that was really the first shot in this rivalry, in my opinion.
07:03And it really didn't work out for Jacob Batuu the way he thought it would.
07:07Oh, and there's that senton delivered by Solo Sokoa, who has now taken over.
07:11Does the steel cage match favor Solo or Jacob?
07:14Well, at this point, you have to say it favors Solo Sokoa,
07:17but initially, I would have said thanks for the fact the MFTs cannot get involved,
07:21it will be Fatuu's advance.
07:23I gave you everything!
07:25I gave you everything!
07:27You don't want to listen.
07:27The thing about Fatuu is, he's a massive weapon in this game.
07:32But weapons need to be pointed in the correct direction.
07:36Solo was capable of doing that with Fatuu.
07:39Now he's a loose cannon.
07:41He can go anywhere, and it's not leading to success for Jacob Batuu like it did
07:45when he was working under Solo Sokoa.
07:47And, Wade, here's another interesting statistic.
07:49The last time that Solo Sokoa was actually pinned in a match was January at the Netflix premiere by Roman Reigns.
08:01Solo has not been pinned since then in eight months.
08:03Solo is a dominant competitor.
08:06He's had a huge impact ever since arriving at Clash of the Castle several years ago.
08:12Wow.
08:12And he's continued in the same vein ever since.
08:15Tonight, Mr. McIntyre will never forget.
08:19Solo Sokoa right now is dominating Jacob Fatuu.
08:23Here's the cover.
08:24And a kick out by Jacob.
08:25And now he's asking the official, Ryan Tran, outside the ring to open the door.
08:35Remember, Solo can walk out both feet, hit the floor.
08:37He will win this steel cage match.
08:39And that would just be, like, humiliating if that would happen at this juncture
08:42with Jacob Fatuu holding on.
08:48Solo trying to drag him toward the door.
08:50It looked like it was going to be an easy victory for Solo Sokoa,
08:57which is an unthinkable result here tonight against someone as dangerous as Jacob Fatuu.
09:03Now it's all been going the way of Solo Sokoa.
09:06And since Solo went back on offense, the official locks the door yet again.
09:11Now Solo says open it again.
09:16And Solo.
09:16And he just waltzed out of here.
09:20And Jacob Fatuu is just holding on.
09:28Now perhaps lining up the most dangerous move in his arsenal.
09:33Yeah, the Samoan Spike.
09:34Think about the superstars.
09:35This has felt over the years.
09:40Over the Samoan Spike.
09:41Jacob able to duck underneath.
09:42And now Fatuu catches him with a kick.
09:44It's took way too long of delivering that, but bouncing back on the suit.
09:48Oh, God!
09:50What a collision.
09:52Completely poleaxing the massive Solo Sokoa.
09:56So much power held between these two men.
10:00Boom!
10:01Jacob Fatuu getting the better of that one.
10:03Now all men have weaknesses.
10:05And Solo Sokoa knows better than anybody how to expose Jacob Fatuu's weaknesses.
10:11He's done it so far in this match, but got a little too lax there.
10:16And has allowed the Samoan werewolf back into this.
10:19The sun is setting in North Jersey.
10:21Summer Slam Sunday.
10:23Over 56,000 at MetLife Stadium.
10:26Looking on is Solo and Jacob battle for the United States Championship inside the steel cage.
10:32The sun goes down.
10:35The werewolves start howling.
10:36And Jacob's feeling it.
10:52Solo sent into the cage.
10:54Solo Sokoa now getting dog walked.
10:57All gas.
11:01No breaks.
11:03Or perhaps no respite for Solo Sokoa.
11:06And it was that phrase, remember, when Solo Sokoa twisted the words.
11:11All gas, no brains.
11:13That really set Jacob Fatuu over the edge.
11:16And now Jacob.
11:18Oh, my.
11:19Oh, man.
11:20Solo can't believe it.
11:21Fatuu just bounced off the cage.
11:23A human being reacts to steel like that.
11:26You are in big trouble.
11:28And now Jacob picking up the pace.
11:29Sent time by Fatuu.
11:31Into the corner now.
11:32Gonna bury Sokoa.
11:36And Jacob.
11:38Oh.
11:39Plenty.
11:40Solo Sokoa.
11:41And Fatuu now.
11:42Gonna head up to the top rope.
11:44There's the moves up to Sokoa.
11:47Unfeasible movement.
11:49Menacingly deadly.
11:50And another one.
11:52Cover.
11:53By Jacob.
11:55Solo kicks it.
11:56Down.
11:57Oh, such a late kick out.
12:00Jacob Fatuu cannot believe it.
12:02But there were two here.
12:04Wait, is that the first time that anyone has ever kicked out of a Jacob moonsault?
12:09Absolutely.
12:10Certainly a double whammy of them.
12:12Never question the toughness of Solo Sokoa ever again.
12:17And now Jacob Fatuu's gonna start questioning himself a little bit.
12:22Hits Solo with his bread and butter and it didn't pay off.
12:25Wait a second.
12:27Oh, look who's here.
12:28Tonga lower.
12:29The massive Tala Tonga down here too.
12:31And JC Mateo.
12:33The MFTs.
12:36Circling the outside of the ring like sharks.
12:38What do you say, Jacob?
12:39He's gonna pay for now.
12:41My family tree.
12:44And now Jacob's got a little backup.
12:51And Jimmy Uso's here.
12:53Launching an assault.
12:54Technically it's three on one.
12:56Make it three on.
12:57Down goes Mateo.
12:59Two on one.
12:59That one on one.
13:00But that one is massive.
13:01Oh, it's Tala Tonga with a boot to the face.
13:05Oh, he's almost seven foot tall.
13:08And that is the perfect soldier that Solo Sokoa wanted.
13:12And Tala Tonga driving Jimmy into the cage as Jacob looks on.
13:17Sending him over the Spanish announce table.
13:19Jacob can do nothing about it as he's locked inside the cage.
13:23How do you lose Jacob Fatuu?
13:25Yet make your army stronger by recruiting this.
13:31And Tala Tonga still stalking as Solo now.
13:35Tries to drag himself to the door.
13:36The door's open.
13:37Jacob Fatuu gonna drag Solo back into the ring.
13:40That will take a spot.
13:41Two.
13:41Close the gate.
13:42It's all gas.
13:43No gotcha.
13:45He doesn't want an escape.
13:46He wants to punish Sokoa.
13:49He wants the door locked.
13:52Keep the MFTs out of here.
13:55Oh, Samoan Spike from out of nowhere.
14:00And Fatuu kicked out.
14:03And Solo Sokoa got the jump on Jacob Fatuu.
14:07But Jacob Fatuu is just too durable.
14:12Take a look at this angle right here.
14:14Jacob Fatuu wiping out Jason Mateo.
14:17But beware the danger behind you.
14:20How do you miss that guy?
14:21And now that Samoan Spike has Jacob turned around into it.
14:24But he was unable to somehow kick out.
14:27Jimmy Uso attacked the group here.
14:30And ringside has been dumped over the table.
14:32He's down and out.
14:33Now Solo Sokoa perhaps looking to escape.
14:35Drop over the top.
14:36And he gets over the top and his feet at the floor.
14:38He wins the matchup and retains the title.
14:40Solo now up top, up high.
14:42Jacob in pursuit.
14:43He's just jumping to the arms of the massive Talatonga from there.
14:46He'll save you, Solo.
14:49He's got to catch him and then drop him on the floor for the win.
14:51And now Jacob Fatuu dragging Solo back into the cage.
14:57And a headbutt by Jacob.
14:59And yet another one.
14:59Meanwhile, J.C. Mateo trying to scale the cage here.
15:04Tonga Loa too.
15:06Tonga Loa, J.C. Mateo.
15:08Jacob Fatuu trying to fight him down.
15:10And now this Talatonga scaling the cage.
15:16And what the hell has he got in his...
15:17Tonga Loa is actually inside the cage now.
15:20And Talatonga following close back.
15:22And he's got handcuffs.
15:25Talatonga's got handcuffs.
15:26Oh, that is a genius move.
15:31Oh, my goodness.
15:33Talatonga handcuffing Jacob Fatuu to the top of the steel cage.
15:39How do you win a steel cage match if you're tied to the top?
15:43And the problem is for Jacob.
15:45He's handcuffed to the top.
15:46He's got Solo Sokoa and Tonga Loa in the ring.
15:51You can't get out and you can't stop Solo from heading to the doorway.
15:55And I don't think that's going to be the only member of the group that perhaps gets in the ring.
15:59But J.C. Mateo can open the door up now for Solo Sokoa.
16:03And Jacob Fatuu somehow bust it out of those handcuffs.
16:06I have no idea how he did that.
16:08But he's loose.
16:09And he prevents Solo from getting out of the cage.
16:11The moon came up at exactly the right time for this werewolf.
16:15Drew some sort of power from it.
16:17Snap those handcuffs.
16:18And he's back in the fight.
16:22And now Solo ducks underneath.
16:24Again, trying to dive for the door.
16:26Trying to somehow escape.
16:27Jacob Fatuu trying to keep Solo in the cage.
16:30Slither his way out of there.
16:31It's a tug of war now.
16:32And Solo, a good matter of his hands at the floor, his feet have to in order to win the match.
16:37And now Fatuu, Jacob Fatuu dragging Solo back into the cage.
16:41Oh, goodness.
16:42Both men took that to the head.
16:46Solo perhaps getting slightly the better of it.
16:49And Solo Sokoa is going to win this match thanks to Tala Tonga.
16:53Here is your winner.
16:56And still the United States champion, Solo Sokoa.
17:06Okay, I understand we actually have a shot of how Jacob Fatuu shred the handcuffs when he was handcuffed by Tala Tonga at the top of the steel cage.
17:21And ladies and gentlemen, the replay is brought to you by Breath Death.
17:24Kill Bad Breath, become legendary.
17:27He just ripped the handcuff off his hand.
17:29It's a non-human strength that is possessed by Jacob Fatuu that saved the match for himself.
17:37And just when Solo Sokoa was heading for the entrance,
17:40JC Mateo getting flattened by this boom from Tala Tonga.
17:44You saw Jacob Fatuu catching that steel door flush on the top of the head.
17:50And incredibly groggy Solo Sokoa scrambles out to victory.
17:55Sokoa is still your United States champion.
18:00JC! Get him! Get him!
18:02Get him!
18:02Now Solo Sokoa.
18:05Get him!
18:06And now Jimmy Uso back into the fight.
18:08Big kick to JC Mateo.
18:15And Mateo driven in to the cage.
18:19I don't want it.
18:20Sending a message here to Solo Sokoa and Tala Tonga.
18:27Solo Sokoa is not heading back into the fight to protect his family.
18:32And Jimmy Uso is locking the door of the cage as Jacob Fatuu is having his way with Mateo and Tonga Loa.
18:41The werewolf is ready to feast now.
18:44No!
18:45And there's no escaping for these MFTs.
18:49Irate and frustrated.
18:51This might not be the end of Solo Sokoa and Jacob Fatuu.
18:55Loud message being sent here.
18:58Fatuu to the top rope.
19:04Oh no.
19:08Oh no.
19:10Don't do it, Jacob!
19:12Jacob's gonna climb!
19:13He's gonna climb the cage!
19:15There's no talking sense to this guy.
19:18From the top of the steel cage!
19:23Oh!
19:24Sokoa by Farquhar!
19:40Incredible!
19:40The most heavy-duty superstar I have ever seen from the top of the cage!
19:49He's already taken a beating in this match from four men wiping out 50% of the MFTs in one fell swoop and then bouncing off like he's just taken a walk in the park.
20:04This man is uber-terrifying!
20:06This man is uber-terrifying!
20:11Jacob Fatuu takes out Solo Sokoa's crew.
20:16And Solo Sokoa is still the United States Champion.
20:20Sokoa is still a bit easier.
20:21It's a bit easier.
20:23It's an Unterstützung.
20:24Sokoa is flourishing!
20:25It's all and easy!
20:27It's so simple!
20:27But even if it's so important you can definitely weld his Daiyaarks on modeling Trekideisk!
20:30You never go.
20:30Basically!
20:31Sokoa is being recruited right before.
20:32Sokoa is super 궁금 kanser!
20:33You never go.
20:34Or a street heading you can différence.
20:35Only way will turn on yourpass.
20:36You never go.
20:37It's really weird too!
20:38Yet certainly if it's so surprising to you take a look at it when the crew is looking back to be able to get down to yourself.
