00:01The relationship soured, and things have never been quite the same since.
00:07Although I will say Solo Sokoa holds the distinction of being 2-0 against
00:13Jacob Batu, beating Jacob Batu at night of champions last year,
00:19where he won the US title from his cousin.
00:21And then once again in a steel cage match at SummerSlam last year,
00:26albeit both matches had major outside interference.
00:30Well, can he make it 3-0 tonight?
00:32And now you get those PLE level match right here in Fort Worth on the SmackDown after Mania.
00:40You mentioned the unsavory pass, the kick from Solo.
00:42That's a big part of what Jacob was able to overcome with the unsanctioned match
00:48against Drew McIntyre, who was trying to use that pass as a device, as a weapon, as a tool.
00:54And Jacob feels like he's just in a very different place in life right now,
00:59and you're seeing that confidence bubble up.
01:01By the way, he's in outstanding physical shape.
01:04Yeah, two men who are built like Mack trucks,
01:08hitting each other at full force, and nothing is giving.
01:13Big right hand from Fatou.
01:16Yeah, great reflexes there from Fatou as Solo tried his best to pull the wool over the eyes
01:23of the werewolf.
01:24The werewolf is locked in right now.
01:27The WrestleMania and what we saw on Raw this past week.
01:34Of course, he overcame so much in that unsanctioned match at Mania.
01:39The steel chairs, the wrench in the eye gouging, everything was thrown out.
01:45Now Solo, delivering right hand after right hand.
01:49Yeah!
01:52Yeah!
01:53Yeah!
01:54The NFTs and the Usos are both separately trying to bring Jacob Fatou in.
02:00No, Jacob!
02:01Huh?
02:01Look, he's stupid!
02:03Into the fold earlier tonight.
02:04But Jacob Fatou is following nobody these days.
02:08Just a man who walks alone.
02:11Oh, great follow-up against Sokoa.
02:15Or flies alone, as the case may be.
02:19Just an absolute whirlwind of trouble everywhere you look.
02:23That is why so many people struggle to contain Jacob Fatou, but that's one way to do it.
02:29JC Matteo, the NFT ringside, always seemingly playing a role.
02:34Huge shot behind the ref's back, and of course, Solo Sokoa is going to allow further damage with
02:41Tama Tonga trying to further ingratiate himself back in the good graces of the leader of the NFTs,
02:48Solo Sokoa.
02:49And then Tonga Moa just chucks Fatou back in the ring after Tama Tonga did the tail.
02:54And look who arrives.
02:56The Usos who warned Jacob Fatou.
02:58He said, I want to go it alone.
03:02Fatou making it quite clear to the Usos.
03:04I don't want your help.
03:06Solo hook in the leg.
03:15Well, the Usos did their best to try and even the odds here for Jacob Fatou.
03:20It ended up backfiring and serving as a distraction.
03:23Fatou wants no part of the Usos or the NFTs, but is in major trouble now in what has been
03:29a
03:29four-on-one attack against the Samoan Werewolf.
03:33He is struggling out on the floor as the MFT surround and Solo Sokoa is on the hunt again.
03:43Stopping from delivering that head into the steps and instead it's Solo who takes the pain.
03:49Well, we saw an example of WrestleMania of just how much abuse Jacob Fatou can absorb.
03:56Tonight might get even worse.
04:01The running hip attack goes the other way and what impact on Fatou.
04:08Oh, in the history of watching wrestling and competing in a ring,
04:12I have never once heard a buckle impact quite as loud as that.
04:18And it's a good job that Solo Sokoa got his head out of the way just in time.
04:23You see Solo looking at his older brothers as he mocks them with a single arm.
04:28They're Jimmy and Jay looking on.
04:30They had warned Fatou.
04:32They had offered their help.
04:33He said he wants to go it alone.
04:35Fatou simply trusts nobody.
04:38And quite clearly has the physical abilities to do things on his own.
04:44This is four on one against four of the most vicious human beings we have on SmackDown.
04:51And things are not looking good for the Samoan Werewolf.
04:55And now it's Solo who delivers the running hip attack.
05:03The just sheer mockery now going the way of a beaten and broken down Jacob Fatou.
05:09And a surrounded Jacob Fatou.
05:11You hear me?
05:11I'm all around, I need to start out here.
05:14I'm talking.
05:16I'm talking.
05:17Just, just.
05:18Although you might not like it, it might be distasteful.
05:21But clearly Solo Sokoa came out here tonight with a plan.
05:24And it's a plan that the likes of JC Mateo have executed perfectly.
05:31That is why such a commanding presence in the middle of the ring now is Solo Sokoa.
05:38He's in complete control.
05:45Sobo's looking for more.
05:47And he delivers for it.
05:49And I swear the ring just moved about six inches.
05:52But human beings are not designed to take an impact like that to the cranium.
05:57I accept Fatou.
05:59You don't have no family.
06:00It's a little different.
06:01You don't have anybody.
06:03Nobody loves you anymore, Jacob.
06:05Come on, Solo.
06:06These people don't love you.
06:08All right?
06:14Solo Sokoa and the MFT have been getting the best of Jacob Fatou.
06:20Fatou able to parry that punch and deliver one of his own.
06:24Fatou, who stepped right to Roman Reigns on Monday night and said, I want more.
06:31Wow, turned inside out with a released German.
06:37And now Solo looking for the win.
06:41Earlier tonight, the Usos came out.
06:44Take another look here.
06:46With a full 270.
06:50And that is a massive frame on Jacob Fatou.
06:52And look at the fear in the eyes of Fatou's cousins, the Usos,
06:56who know what a predicament the Samoa Werewolf is in now.
07:00Look at stupid.
07:01Jimmy J said, you know the MFT will be involved.
07:03You know what Solo has planned.
07:05We can help you.
07:06Jacob said, bravely, I want to go it on my own.
07:09And now, center of the ring, trying to match strike for strike with Solo Sokoa.
07:16Big uppercut from Solo.
07:19Even bigger from Fog 2.
07:30Series of right hands from Jacob, the Samoan Werewolf finding that gear.
07:37A trade war that Fatou had no right in winning.
07:43But he's winning all the same.
07:45This is incredible now from Fatou.
07:48That punch resistance he has, that ability to dig deep.
07:53Beyond human abilities of recuperating, recovering, and getting back to warfare.
08:00That resilient rise up that he displays time and again.
08:04Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
08:10And this massive crowd here at Fort Worth is loving what they're seeing out of Fog 2.
08:16What a hip attack.
08:19Well, finally getting everything back.
08:22Once again, Tamatonga playing.
08:25Distraction here, and look behind you, Jacob.
08:28The spike is lined up.
08:32Superkick.
08:35Just felt that one coming a mile off the Fatou, who is locked in.
08:40Laser focus.
08:44Oh, don't you know it.
08:47JC Matteo, the moment the ref turns around, shoulders down.
08:52And Fatou gets the shoulder up.
08:55I mean, how on earth can you possibly win, with three MFTs running offense on the outside,
09:01and the Usos following the instructions of Fatou to stay back?
09:11It's over.
09:17The Usos in theory could have made this a fair one-on-one fight by now.
09:21Exactly. But instead, they have stood back at the top of the entryway,
09:26as ordered, respecting what Fatou said, as he dives to the outside, and takes the three of them out.
09:33And now, here it is.
09:36One-on-one match.
09:39Solo.
09:41Is it too late?
09:42Oh, spinning solo slam.
09:47Sokoa going up top.
09:50Target zone is Fatou, and the splash is delivered.
09:57And somehow, deep in that count, Fatou survives.
10:02Well, there is a drive inside Jacob Fatou that should have been snuffed out right here.
10:09But Jacob Fatou is just on a different level at the moment.
10:13We saw at WrestleMania.
10:15We know his intentions, but this could be the kill shot.
10:19There is a spike in the chamber, ready to pull the trigger.
10:23Fatou meets him with the superkick.
10:26Pop-up Samoan against Sokoa.
10:31On the loosest of cannons.
10:35Mighty Moonsault, Fatou.
10:40One, two, three.
10:45Here is your winner, Jacob Fatou.
10:50How impressive was that?
10:52Well, he doesn't know.
10:53The MFT.
10:55Here goes Tama Tonga, JC Mateo, and Tonga Loa all over Fatou.
11:01Yeah, sometimes when you win, really, you lose in this game.
11:05And it was a fool's errand from the very beginning for Jacob Fatou to think he could go
11:11four on one against the MFTs.
11:17And now JC Mateo is just holding him in place.
11:21He rejects that, kicks away the steel chair, takes care of Mateo.
11:28Right through the steel chair of Tonga Loa.
11:33And the MFTs are now getting into the Dark Wall.
11:36It was three on one, and Thron is beating the hell out of three.
11:45Jacob Fatou, steel chair in hand.
11:50The Usos came down, I think, to help.
11:53They don't need to help.
11:55This is the danger zone.
11:57He's got the steel chair around JC's neck.
12:01Oh, my God.
12:02As well as Tama Tonga's neck.
12:05You've got to be kidding me.
12:07It's devastating.
12:10Hip attack into the steel chair.
12:14Watch out.
12:18Suicide dive, and now he's ripping apart our announce desk.
12:21And four MFTs laid out by one Samoan werewolf.
12:27Tonga Loa with a headbutt.
12:30What the hell's he doing here?
12:32Oh, God.
12:32Jacob Fatou.
12:37Big headbutt of Tonga Loa.
12:40Tonga Loa stumbling around here.
12:42He's in the worst possible spot.
12:44Oh, Fatou up on the barrier.
12:49Airburn.
12:50Oh, no.
12:52Oh, no.
12:53Oh, no.
12:55Oh, no.
13:00Konga Loa destroyed through the announce desk.
13:08The intensity of FOTU.
13:13On Monday night, we're going to get an answer from Roman Reigns.
13:19FOTU wants every bit of it.
13:27Hope is still working again.
13:29Going toцию.
13:29Oh, thank you.
13:33Well back to the Sanda.
13:33You will have to finish the Gesundheits world.
