Over the last few months, problems have emerged with the team, as Jey Uso seems on the fence about sticking around. That could lead to trouble, but now we have a better idea where one member might be going.

This week on SmackDown, Solo Sikoa defeated Sami Zayn in the show’s main event, continuing his streak of never being pinned or made to submit since he debuted on the main roster. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Sikoa is being kept strong and protected to save him for an eventual match with Roman Reigns.

Opinion: That is certainly an interesting way to go, but the other noteworthy part is how long term planning can pay off. Assuming WWE had this plan from the start, they made sure to not have Sikoa lose a nothing match early on in his time on SmackDown. Having a seemingly unstoppable Sikoa take on Reigns down the line makes sense, as WWE could reap the benefits of its efforts.
