On Raw, Solo Sikoa turned on Roman Reigns and rejected full Bloodline loyalty, delivering the Tongan Death Grip and signaling he’ll forge his own path, reigniting the faction’s drama as LA Knight’s save underscored Solo’s independence.

Zilla Fatu will develop in WWE's NXT before any main-roster run, following a path similar to Solo Sikoa. He disrupted the NXT Championship No.1 Contender's Match to make an impression, prompting mixed fan reactions about adding another Anoa'i to the Bloodline.

Solo Sikoa’s new, more serious vibe keeps the Bloodline saga afloat as he pins Jey Uso after Jimmy’s distraction in a 12-minute Raw main event, setting up more family drama next week; the show also advances Judgment Day with a notable women’s angle involving Liv Morgan, Becky Lynch, and Vaquer, plus Dominik Mysterio’s loss to Dragon Lee, and teases further tension in The Vision/Breakker storyline, but overall the midcard is solid if not standout, earning a Grade C.

Brock Lesnar is not expected to retire after SummerSlam, with WWE insiders predicting a hiatus followed by another big payday (likely Saudi Arabia).

Jacob Fatu reportedly suffered a back injury at a WWE live event in Liverpool, jeopardizing the Clash in Italy main event. WWE sources say he’s expected to be fine by Sunday, but if not they’re considering pivots such as Solo Sikoa taking Fatu’s spot with a storyline about targeting Fatu, or a triple-threat involving Roman Reigns defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi to preserve star power and advance future angles.
