WWE appears to be setting up a confrontation between family members at WrestleMania 41. According to WrestleVotes during a Live Q&A on Backstage Pass, plans are being developed for a match between Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.
There’s a lot going on there. You know, I don’t know what everybody’s plans are, Roman and Jimmy and The Rock, but I do know they’re gearing up towards Jacob versus Solo. So, you know, after months of speculation that Solo was going to wrestle Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, they shift that to Jacob Fatu, and we’ll see how it plays out. But I do believe that’s the direction.
The report comes after recent developments involving both Samoan stars, including Fatu’s failure to qualify for the Elimination Chamber and a tense interaction with Sikoa.
In other WrestleMania plans, WrestleVotes noted that The OTC could face CM Punk at the event. Roman Reigns was removed from active competition following an injury angle with Seth Rollins at the Royal Rumble.
If we’re talking over the course of the last 12 months since WrestleMania 40, there’s been discussions for him at the top. Even going back to early November, when those rumors of him and Roman one-on-one were floated out there, I had heard that if that match takes place, that match will go at the top, no title. So, yeah, there’s been rumors of him being in the main event, of course.
