00:20Zorro Sokoa offered Jacob Pottu a solution.
00:26Come back into the fold.
00:30Well, that's not happening.
00:32So now this is.
00:35The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:39Introducing first, accompanied by MFG, from Las Vegas, Nevada,
00:45playing in at 250 pounds, Zorro Sokoa!
00:53Zorro Sokoa and Jacob Pottu next.
01:07The revolution has arrived.
01:10I am the number one guy here because I am damn gifted.
01:13I have been North American champion.
01:16An NXT champion.
01:18Do not let the handsome face and expensive fragrance fool you.
01:23If there's one thing about me, I'm always going to stand on business.
01:27I am the man because I am absolute Ricky freaking Saint.
01:35And next week, we are in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and guess who's coming to SmackDown, Barrett?
01:42Oh, Ricky Saint's a man who has been making major waves in NXT.
01:46Well, he's ours officially.
01:49From next Friday, he debuts on SmackDown.
01:54Now, earlier tonight, Zorro Sokoa thought perhaps he could convince Jacob Pottu to embrace the MFT,
02:01that that would be the best decision to make.
02:04He's about to be pretty long.
02:06He ain't got no back.
02:25And I'd say injuries are probably fairly likely when you're competing against this man.
02:36And there should be sirens and warnings going off across North Texas right now.
02:49And his opponent, from Sacramento, California, weighing in at 291 pounds,
02:57the Samoan werewolf, Jacob Pottu!
03:02The man who looked right at the World Heavyweight Champion, Roman Reigns,
03:07and said, I need everything that Tribal Chief has.
03:10Said that on Monday on Raw.
03:11That I'll do anything for my family, even if I have to go through you.
03:16Well, right now, he needs to make sure he can go through Solo Sokoa
03:21before we hear any decision that comes our way Monday.
03:28There's a massive history between Pottu and his cousin, Solo Sokoa.
03:34Solo being the man who brought Jacob Pottu into the fold in WWE
03:39when everybody else felt Fatu was untouchable due to his unsavory past.
03:46Well, the relationship soured, and things have never been quite the same since.
03:53Although, I will say, Solo Sokoa holds the distinction of being 2-0 against Jacob Pottu,
04:00beating Jacob Pottu, the night of champions last year,
04:05where he won the U.S. title from his cousin,
04:07and then once again in a steel cage match at SummerSlam last year,
04:12albeit both matches had major outside interference.
04:16Well, can he make it 3-0 tonight?
04:18And now you get those PLE-level match right here in Fort Worth on the SmackDown after Mania.
04:26You mentioned the unsavory pass, the kick from Solo.
04:28That's a big part of what Jacob was able to overcome
04:32with the unsanctioned match against Drew McIntyre,
04:35who was trying to use that pass as a device, as a weapon, as a tool.
04:40Jacob feels like he's just in a very different place in life right now,
04:45and you're seeing that confidence bubble up.
04:47By the way, he's in outstanding physical shape.
04:50Yeah, two men who were built like Mack trucks,
04:54hitting each other at full force, and nothing is giving.
04:59Big right hand from Fatu.
05:03Yeah, great reflexes there from Fatu,
05:05as Solo tried his best to pull the wool over the eyes of the werewolf.
05:10The werewolf is locked in right now after WrestleMania,
05:14and what we saw on Raw this past week,
05:21first he overcame so much in that unsanctioned match at Mania.
05:25The steel chairs, the wrench in the eye, gouging,
05:28everything was thrown at him.
05:31And now Solo, delivering right hand after right hand.
05:40The MFTs and the Usos are both separately trying to bring Jacob Fatu...
05:48...to the fold earlier tonight, but Jacob Fatu is following nobody these days.
05:54Just a man who walks alone.
05:57Oh, great funnel-up against Sokola.
06:01Or flies alone, as the case may be.
06:05Just an absolute whirlwind of trouble everywhere you look.
06:09That is why so many people struggle to contain Jacob Fatu,
06:13but that's one way to do it.
06:15J.C. Mateo, the MFT ringside, always seemingly playing a role.
06:21A few shots behind the refs back, and of course,
06:24Solo Sokola is going to allow further damage with...
06:28Tama Tonga trying to further ingratiate himself back
06:31in the good graces of the leader of the MFTs, Solo Sokola.
06:35And then Tonga Loa just chucks Fatu back in the ring
06:38after Tama Tonga did the tail.
06:40Oh, look who arrives.
06:42The Usos who warned Jacob Fatu.
06:44He said, I want to go it alone.
06:48Fatu making it quite clear to the Usos,
06:50I don't want your help.
06:52Solo hooking the leg.
07:19Well, the Usos did their best to try and even the odds here
07:22for Jacob Fatu.
07:24It ended up backfiring and serving as a distraction.
07:27Fatu wants no part of the Usos or the MFTs,
07:31but is in major trouble now in what has been a four-on-one attack
07:35against the Samoan Werewolf.
07:37He is struggling out on the floor as the MFTs surround
07:41and Solo Sokola is on the hunt again.
07:46Oh, stopping from delivering that head into the steps,
07:50and instead it's Solo who takes the pain.
07:53Well, we saw an example at WrestleMania
07:55of just how much abuse Jacob Fatu can absorb.
07:59Tonight might get even worse.
08:05Oh, the running hip attack goes the other way,
08:08and what impact on Fatu.
08:12In the history of watching wrestling and competing in a ring,
08:16I have never once heard a buckle impact quite as loud as that.
08:22And it's a good job that Solo Sokola got his head out of the way
08:25just in time.
08:26You see Solo looking at his older brothers as he mocks them
08:30with a single arm.
08:32They're Jimmy and Jay looking on.
08:33They had warned Fatu.
08:36They had offered their help.
08:37He said he wants to go it alone.
08:39Fatu simply trusts nobody
08:42and quite clearly has the physical abilities
08:45to do things on his own.
08:47Well, this is four on one
08:49against four of the most vicious human beings
08:52we have on SmackDown.
08:55And things are not looking good for the Samoan werewolf.
08:59And now it's Solo
09:01who delivers the running hip attack.
09:07There's a sheer mockery now
09:09going the way of a beaten and broken down Jacob Fatu.
09:13And a surrounded Jacob Fatu.
09:21Although you might not like it
09:23it might be distasteful
09:24but clearly Solo Sokola came out here tonight
09:27with a plan
09:28and it's a plan
09:29that the likes of JC Mateo
09:31have executed perfectly.
09:35That is why
09:36such a commanding presence
09:38in the middle of the ring now
09:39is Solo Sokola.
09:41He's in complete control.
09:48Sobo's looking for more.
09:51And he delivers more
09:52and I swear the ring just moved
09:54about six inches.
09:56Human beings are not designed
09:58to take an impact like that
10:00to the aquarium.
10:01I accept
10:02Fatu.
10:03You don't have them.
10:03It's a little different.
10:05You don't have them.
10:07Nobody loves you anymore.
10:09Jacob.
10:10These people don't love you.
10:12Alright.
10:17Solo Sokola and the MFT
10:19have been getting the best
10:21of Jacob Fatu.
10:24Fatu
10:24able to parry that punch
10:26and deliver one of his own.
10:28Fatu
10:28who stepped right to Roman Reigns
10:31on Monday night
10:32and said
10:32but I want more.
10:35Wow.
10:36Turned in
10:37right out
10:37with a released
10:38German.
10:40And now Solo
10:41looking for the win.
10:45Earlier tonight
10:46the Usos
10:47came out.
10:48Take another look here.
10:50With a full
10:52270.
10:53And that is a massive frame
10:55on Jacob Fatu.
10:56And look at the fear
10:57in the eyes
10:58of Fatu's cousins
10:59the Usos
11:00who know what a predicament
11:02the Samoan Werewolf
11:03is in now.
11:04Jimmy J said
11:05you know the MFT
11:06will be involved.
11:07You know what Solo
11:08has planned.
11:09We can help you.
11:10Jacob said bravely
11:11I want to go it
11:12on my own.
11:13And now
11:14center of the ring
11:15trying to match
11:17strike for strike
11:18with Solo Sokoa.
11:19Big uppercut
11:21from Solo.
11:23Even bigger
11:24from Fog 2.
11:34Oh!
11:35Series of right hands
11:36from Jacob.
11:37The Samoan Werewolf
11:39finding that gear.
11:41A trade war
11:42that Fatu
11:43had no right
11:44in winning
11:46but is winning
11:48all the same.
11:49This is incredible
11:50now from Fatu!
11:52That punch resistance
11:53he has.
11:54That ability
11:55to dig deep.
11:56Beyond human abilities
11:59of recuperating
12:00recovering
12:01and getting back
12:02to warfare.
