The January 17, 2025 episode of SmackDown not only brought fans intense matches but also dramatic and surprising moments that left everyone on edge. Here are the highlights of the night:

Jacob Fatu Officially Takes Control of The Bloodline
The highlight of the evening was the announcement of Jacob Fatu as the new leader of The Bloodline, marking a major turning point for the group that has long dominated WWE. Roman Reigns was a no-show, further increasing curiosity about his current status. Jacob Fatu, along with Tama Tonga and Zilla Fatu, confidently stepped into the ring, asserting their power.

But the most surprising thing was the presence of Solo Sikoa. He entered the ring, confronted Jacob and Tama, but didn’t say a word. Solo’s cold stare and silence had the crowd applauding and wondering: Is he really considering leaving WWE to join AEW, or is this a strategic move to confront Jacob Fatu?

Jimmy Uso defeats Carmelo Hayes via DQ
The match between Jimmy Uso and Carmelo Hayes was extremely tense, with both sides showing their top form. However, the outcome of the match was affected when The Bloodline suddenly attacked both Jimmy Uso and Carmelo Hayes. This showed the complexity within the group as Jimmy found himself in a confrontation with the remaining members.

The chaotic scene in the ring shocked fans, especially as well-known figures like Solo Sikoa just watched from afar without intervening.

LA Knight and Braun Strowman Change the Game
While Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga were enjoying a moment of power, LA Knight suddenly appeared from behind and attacked them ferociously. However, Jacob Fatu quickly regained the advantage and showed his formidable leadership.

Just when things seemed to be leaning in favor of The Bloodline, Braun Strowman unexpectedly showed up to save L.A. Knight. The appearance of “The Monster Among Men” brought balance and opened up the possibility of a high-profile tag team match between the two factions in the near future.

Is a tag team match on the horizon?
With tensions building between The Bloodline, LA Knight, and Braun Strowman, fans are more excited than ever for a tag team match. The showdown between the two factions promises to be a huge highlight in the coming weeks of SmackDown.

The January 17, 2025 SmackDown left many important questions: Which path will Solo Sikoa choose? Will The Bloodline be able to maintain power under the leadership of Jacob Fatu? And how will the upcoming tag team match play out? Fans definitely won’t want to miss any of the upcoming developments!
