United States Title Match Set For WrestleMania 41

There was some talk amongst fans that similar to the Intercontinental Title picture over on Monday Night RAW, the United States Championship match at WrestleMania 41 would feature several names gunning for the gold in a multi-man contest. As of last night’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, this is not the case.

‘The Samoan Werewolf’ Jacob Fatu took on current rival Braun Strowman in a Last Man Standing match, with the winner being announced as the brand new number one contender for the United States Championship. Not just that, but the winner would do battle with the titleholder LA Knight at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

On SmackDown, it was Jacob Fatu who emerged as the winner after putting Strowman through a table, keeping him down for the count. LA Knight has had issues with several iterations of The Bloodline, in addition to sharing the ring on multiple occasions with Fatu over the last few months. There have been several reports in recent times that WWE had a match between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa in the works, but this no longer appears to be the case.
