02:00Solo Sokoa made Jacob Batu for the United States Championship back at the end of June.
02:13Now marching into the second steel cage match of his career.
02:19Pinfall submission escape from the cage, both feet hitting the floor away.
02:22The question is, who does this match favor, Solo or Jacob?
02:27Well, based on the actions of Solo Sokoa and the NFTs over the past several months,
02:33it's been the numbers game that has really exemplified this accumulation of power by Solo Sokoa.
02:40The cage, in theory, neutralizes all of that and makes this a one-on-one matchup.
02:48Batu against the man who calls himself Solo, but rarely has been.
02:55Well, this steel cage match for the United States Championship is brought to you by Breathstep.
03:00Kill bad breath, become legendary.
03:12Defended that championship against Jimmy Uso at Saturday night's main event last month.
03:18This is more, this is more!
03:21Steel cage, though, as Solo well knows, is a different ball game.
03:26What a return to great heights it has been for Solo Sokoa after the world started writing him off.
03:34Let's go!
03:371, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1, 2, 1!
03:39Introducing the challenger from Sacramento, California,
04:07weighing in for 291 pounds,
04:12the Samoan Werewolf, Jacob Batuu.
04:21Jacob Batuu in his very first SummerSlam,
04:23the former United States Champion heading into his first steel cage match in his WWE career.
04:31This is the fifth time at SummerSlam that we have had a steel cage matchup,
04:35the first since 2001.
04:39Back in 1990, the Ultimate Warrior beat Rick Rude.
04:43In 94, Bret Hart with a big victory when he beat his brother Owen.
04:48In 97, Mankind beat Hunter Burst Helmsley inside a steel cage at SummerSlam,
04:55and then we had a tag team match up in a cage back in 2001.
05:01Jacob Batuu, who at one point in his career, Wade said, I love you, Solo.
05:08And now it's nothing but disdain.
05:10Jacob Batuu loved Solo when Jacob Batuu was comfortable in the role of soldier.
05:16Unfortunately for Solo, Jacob Batuu outgrew the soldier's uniform and started making some battle plans of his own.
05:24Those battle plans led him all the way to the United States Championship.
05:29However, Solo and his MFTs brought it back to the family.
05:39The prestigious United States Championship match is underway.
05:42The official Daphne LaShawn inside the cage.
05:47Harley Race, of course, the late great Hall of Famer, the very first United States Champion.
05:51Dozens of WWE Hall of Famers have held this title over the years.
06:14Solo reminding Jacob Batuu that he is again locked in the cage.
06:18He just made some comments about the fact that Jacob has been in jail before him.
06:23Solo Sokoa tried to get him arrested a few weeks back as well.
06:27Solo Sokoa just made one final offer to Jacob Batuu to come back to the family.
06:32Boom.
06:33Well, it's not gonna happen.
06:34I think Jacob's made that pretty clear over the past couple of months.
06:38For Solo Sokoa, he's really gotta stop this high-octane style of offense from Jacob Batuu.
06:43Yeah, but everyone forgets that Solo Sokoa, the former street fighting champion,
06:48of the islands, the former enforcer of the bloodline.
06:52This man is double top two.
06:54He might not be as flashy as Jacob Batuu, but he is just as dangerous.
06:58No doubt, and Jacob Batuu now gonna mount Solo in the corner.
07:01One, two, three, two, three.
07:04Headbutt after headbutt after headbutt by the Samoan werewolf.
07:08This is exactly what Jacob Batuu has wanted.
07:14No more sneak attacks, no more family politics, just pure unadulterated violence.
07:21Yeah, lock me in the cage with Solo and I'll take care of business.
07:25He just delivered that flying forkscrew elbow.
07:28Let's not forget, it was Solo Sokoa that brought Jacob Batuu into the world of WWE
07:36after management had consistently said, hell no.
07:40All the family members from the Samoan dynasty had said, hell no.
07:45This guy is just too dangerous, too uncomfortable.
07:49No!
07:49Jacob walked into the cage by Solo.
07:52And yeah, your point's right, and you are accurate that that did happen, but that it
07:56was the way that Solo treated Jacob once he arrived here.
07:59Looked down upon him, expected him to do menial tasks for him.
08:03Never really appreciated or respected Jacob.
08:07Now Solo, splashing him into the cage.
08:09Solo Sokoa knows Jacob Batuu better than anybody is, any of us.
08:17He knows exactly how to control Fatuu.
08:19Oh!
08:19And let's not forget Solo's bitter, too, Wade.
08:22I mean, Jacob Batuu cost him the Money in the Bank contract.
08:26Well, that was really the first shot in this rivalry, in my opinion.
08:31And it really didn't work out for Jacob Batuu the way he thought it would.
08:35And there's that senton delivered by Solo Sokoa, who has now taken over.
08:39Does the steel cage match favor Solo or Jacob?
08:42Well, at this point, you have to say it favors Solo Sokoa, but initially,
08:45I would have said thanks for the fact that the MFTs cannot get involved, it will be Fatuu's advantage.
08:51I gave you everything!
08:52I gave you everything!
08:53I gave you everything!
08:54But you don't wanna listen!
08:55The thing about Fatuu is, he's a massive weapon in this game.
09:00The weapons need to be pointed in the correct direction.
09:03Solo was capable of doing that with Fatuu, now he's a loose cannon, he can go anywhere,
09:09and it's not leading to success for Jacob Batuu like it did when he was working under Solo Sokoa.
09:15And wait, here's another interesting statistic.
09:18The last time that Solo Sokoa was actually pinned in a match was January at the Netflix premiere by Roman Reigns.
09:28Solo has not been pinned since then in eight months.
09:31Solo is a dominant competitor, he's had a huge impact ever since arriving at Clash of the Castle several years ago.
09:39Wow. And he's continued in the same vein ever since.
09:43Tonight Mr. McIntyre will never forget.
09:47Solo Sokoa right now is dominating Jacob Fatuu.
09:50Here's the cover, and a kick out by Jacob.
09:53And Solo with- Open again!
09:58And now he's asking the official, Ryan Tran outside the ring to open the door.
10:02Remember, Solo can walk out both feet, hit the floor, he will win this steel cage match.
10:06And that would just be like humiliating if that would happen this juncture with Jacob Fatuu holding on.
10:15Solo trying to drag him toward the door.
10:21It looked like it was gonna be an easy victory for Solo Sokoa which is an unthinkable result here tonight
10:26against someone as dangerous as Jacob Fatuu that has all been going the way of Solo Sokoa.
10:33And since Solo went back on offense, the official locks the door yet again.
10:36Now Solo says open it again.
10:41And Solo just waltz out of here and Jacob Fatuu is just holding on.
10:49Now perhaps lining up the most dangerous move in his arsenal.
11:00Yeah, the Samoan Spike, think about the superstars, this has felt over the years.
11:07Over the Samoan Spike, Jacob able to duck underneath, and now Fatuu catches him with a kick.
11:12This took way too long of delivering that, but bouncing back of the suit, oh god!
11:16What a collision.
11:19Completely poleaxing the massive Solo Sokoa.
11:23So much power held between these two men.
11:27Boom!
11:28Jacob Fatuu getting the better of that one.
11:31Now all men have weaknesses and Solo Sokoa knows better than anybody how to expose Jacob Fatuu's weaknesses.
11:39He's done it so far in this match, but got a little too lax there.
11:43And has allowed the Samoan Werewolf back into this.
11:46The sun is setting in North Jersey, Summer Slam Sunday.
11:50Over 56,000 at MetLife Stadium looking on as Solo and Jacob battle for the United States Championship inside the steel cage.
11:58The sun goes down, the werewolves start howling.
12:03And Jacob's feeling it.
12:16Solo sent into the cage.
12:18Solo Sokoa now getting dog walked.
12:25All gas, no breaks, or perhaps no respite for Solo Sokoa.
12:33And it was that phrase, remember when Solo Sokoa twisted the words.
12:37All gas, no brains.
12:40That really sent Jacob Fatuu over the edge.
12:43And now Jacob.
12:45My, oh man.
12:47Solo can't believe it.
12:48Fatuu just bounced off the cage.
12:51A human being reacts to steel like that.
12:53You are in big trouble.
12:55And now Jacob picking up the pace.
12:57Sent time by Fatuu.
12:58Into the corner now.
12:59Gonna bury Sokoa.
13:00And Jacob.
13:05Plenty.
13:07Solo Sokoa and Fatuu now.
13:10Gonna head up to the top rope.
13:12There's the moonsault to Sokoa.
13:14Unfeasible movement, menacingly delivered.
13:18And another one.
13:19Cover by Jacob.
13:22Solo kicked out.
13:24Such a late kick out.
13:27Jacob Fatuu cannot believe it.
13:29But there were two here.
13:31Wait, is that the first time that anyone has ever kicked out of a Jacob moonsault?
13:36Absolutely, certainly a double whammy of them.
13:40Never question the toughness of Solo Sokoa ever again.
13:44And now Jacob Fatuu's gonna start questioning himself a little bit.
13:49Hits Solo with his bread and butter and it didn't pay off.
13:52Wait a second.
13:54Look who's here.
13:55Tonga Loa, the massive Tala Tonga down here too.
13:58And JC Mateo, the MFTs.
14:03Circling the outside of the ring like sharks.
14:06What do you say, Jacob?
14:07Have to pay for now.
14:08My family tree.
14:10And now, Jacob's got a little backup.
14:13And Jimmy Uso's here.
14:20Launching an assault, technically it's three on one, make it three on.
14:25Down goes Mateo.
14:26Two on one, that one on one, but that one is massive.
14:29And Tala Tonga with a boot to the face.
14:32God, he's almost seven foot tall.
14:35And that is the perfect soldier that Solo Sokoa wanted.
14:40And Tala Tonga driving Jimmy into the cage as Jacob looks on, sending him over the Spanish announce table.
14:47Jacob can do nothing about it as he's locked inside the cage.
14:51How do you lose Jacob for two, yet make your army stronger by recruiting this?
14:59And Tala Tonga still stalking as Solo now tries to drag himself to the door.
15:04The door's open.
15:05Jacob Fatu gonna drag Solo back into the ring.
15:07That will Jacob Fatu.
15:09He doesn't want an escape, he wants to punish Sokoa.
15:17He wants the door locked.
15:20Keep the MFTs out of here and let me-
15:23Samoan spike from out of nowhere.
15:27And Fatu kicked out.
15:31And Solo Sokoa got the jump on Jacob Fatu, but Jacob Fatu is just too durable.
15:38Take a look at this angle right here.
15:41Jacob Fatu wiping out JC Mateo, but beware the danger behind you.
15:46How do you miss that guy?
15:48And now the Samoan spike, as Jacob turned around into it, but he was unable to somehow kick out.
15:54Jimmy Uso attacked the group here at ringside, has been dumped over the table.
15:59He's down and out.
16:00Now Solo Sokoa, perhaps looking to escape, jump over the top.
16:03If he gets over the top and his feet at the floor, he wins the matchup and retains the title.
16:07Solo now, up high, Jacob in pursuit.
16:11He just jumped into the arms of the massive Talatonga from there.
16:14He'll save you, Solo.
16:16He's gotta catch him and then drop him on the floor for the win.
16:19And now, Jacob Fatu dragging Solo back into the cage.
16:23And a headbutt by Jacob, and yet another one.
16:27Meanwhile, JC Mateo trying to scale the cage here.
16:31And Tonga Loa too.
16:33Tonga Loa, JC Mateo, Jacob Fatu trying to fight him down.
16:38And now this Talatonga scaling the cage.
16:43And what the hell's he got in his?
16:45Tonga Loa is actually inside the cage now, and Talatonga following close back.
16:49And he's got handcuffs.
16:51Talatonga's got handcuffs.
16:54Well, that is a genius move.
16:59My goodness.
17:00Talatonga handcuffing Jacob Fatu to the top of the steel cage.
17:06How do you win a steel cage match if you're tied to the top?
17:11And the problem is for Jacob, he's handcuffed to the top.
17:14He's got Solo Sokoa and Tonga Loa in the ring.
17:18You can't get out, and you can't stop Solo from heading to the doorway.
17:23And I don't think that's gonna be the only member of the group that perhaps gets in the ring,
17:26but JC Mateo can open the door up now for Solo Sokoa.
17:30And Jacob Fatu somehow busted out of those handcuffs.
17:34I have no idea how he did that, but he's loose, and he prevents Solo from getting out of the cage.
17:39The moon came up at exactly the right time for this werewolf, drew some sort of power from it,
17:44snapped those handcuffs, and he's back out.
17:47My God, back in the fight.
17:50And now Solo ducks underneath, again, trying to dive through the door,
17:53trying to somehow escape.
17:54Jacob Fatu trying to keep Solo in the cage.
17:57Slither his way out of there, it's a tug of war now.
18:00And Solo, no matter if his hands hit the floor, his feet have to in order to win the match.
18:04And now Jacob Fatu dragging Solo back into the cage.
18:08Goodness.
18:10Both men took that to the head.
18:13Solo perhaps getting slightly the better of it.
18:16And Solo Sokoa is gonna win this match, thanks to Tala Tonga.
18:20Here is your winner, and still the United States Champion, Solo Sokoa.
18:34Okay, I understand we actually have a shot of how Jacob Fatu shred the handcuffs when he was
18:41handcuffed by Tala Tonga at the top of the steel cage.
18:45And ladies and gentlemen, the replay is brought to you by Breath Death.
18:52Kill Bad Breath become legendary.
18:54He just ripped the handcuff off his hand.
18:57It's non-human strength that is possessed by Jacob Fatu that saved the match for himself.
19:04And just when Solo Sokoa was headed for the entrance, JC Mateo getting flattened by this boom from Tala Tonga.
19:11Yeah.
19:12You saw Jacob Fatu catching that steel door flush on the top of the head and
19:17incredibly groggy Solo Sokoa scrambles out to victory.
19:23Sokoa is still your United States Champion.
19:27JC!
19:28Get him!
19:29Get him!
19:30And now Solo Sokoa.
19:31Get him!
19:33And now Jimmy Uso back into the fight, big kick to JC Mateo.
19:38And Mateo driven in to the cage.
19:45Sending a message here to Solo Sokoa and Tala Tonga.
19:54Solo Sokoa is not heading back into the fight to protect his family.
19:59And Jimmy Uso is locking the door of the cage as Jacob Fatu is having his way with Mateo and Tonga Loa.
20:08The Werewolf is ready to feast now.
20:11Go!
20:12And there's no escaping for these MFTs.
20:16Irate and frustrated.
20:18This might not be the end of Solo Sokoa and Jacob Fatu.
20:22Loud message being sent here.
20:25Fatu to the top rope.
20:27No.
20:36No.
20:37Don't do it, Jacob.
20:39Jacob's gonna climb.
20:41He's gonna climb the cage.
20:43There's no talking sense to this guy.
20:45From the top of the steel cage.
20:51A large shot by Fatu.
20:55Incredible.
21:09The most heavy duty superstar I have ever seen.
21:15From the top of the cage.
21:17After already taken a beating in this match.
21:19From four men wiping out 50% of the MFTs in one fell swoop.
21:27And then bouncing off like he just taken a walk in the park.
21:32This man is uber terrifying.
21:34Jacob Fatu takes out Solo Sokoa's crew.
21:43Solo Sokoa is still the United States Champion.
21:47The United States Champion.
