In a dramatic turn of events, the Wyatt Sicks faced a heartbreaking defeat after Solo Sikoa made a bold move to snatch their cherished family heirloom. This episode of WWE SmackDown on January 9th showcased an intense 8-man tag team clash, pitting Uncle Howdy’s Wyatt Sicks against Solo Sikoa's faction, MFT, amidst a gripping family rivalry.
Previously, neither team had managed to secure a pinfall victory in their prior encounters, but tonight's action in Berlin, Germany, changed that narrative.
The critical moment unfolded late in the match when Solo Sikoa, positioned in the aisle, seized the iconic Wyatt lantern—a symbol that has made several appearances within WWE programming over the years. This act of theft caught Uncle Howdy off guard, momentarily distracting him and delaying his attempt to deliver Sister Abigail’s signature move.
This diversion proved fatal for Howdy, as Tama Tonga capitalized on the opportunity, executing his notorious cutthroat finishing maneuver to claim the pinfall victory. The scene was poignant as the Wyatts displayed expressions of sorrow and devastation while Solo and MFT triumphantly departed with the lantern, Sikoa reveling in the moment by proclaiming that he holds the entire world within his grasp.
Just last week, Solo had articulated his ambition for MFT to capture the WWE tag team championship, which made this victory a significant step toward that goal. With the first phase of his strategy successfully accomplished, it seems likely that fans can expect another showdown for the Wyatt Sicks' tag titles in the near future.
