On June 7, 2025, the WWE Universe was left in chaos at Money in the Bank in Los Angeles, CA, as United States Champion Jacob Fatu’s brutal attack on Damian Priest led to a shocking disqualification in their highly anticipated title match. The explosive incident, occurring at 11:15 PM +07, has intensified their rivalry and set the stage for a volatile WWE showdown.

The match began with high stakes, as Priest, fresh off a Steel Cage victory over Drew McIntyre, aimed to dethrone Fatu, who won the US Title at WrestleMania 41. The two clashed fiercely, with Priest’s South of Heaven countered by Fatu’s raw power. Tensions boiled over when Fatu, enraged by Priest’s taunts, unleashed a relentless assault, slamming Priest into the steel steps and delivering a running hip attack, prompting the referee to call for the bell. The disqualification sparked outrage, as Fatu retained his title amidst boos from the crowd.

X erupted with #FatuVsPriest trending globally, with fans split over the outcome. “Fatu’s a beast, but that was dirty!” one fan tweeted, while another demanded, “Priest deserves a rematch!” The attack, fueled by Fatu’s frustration with Solo Sikoa’s interference in prior matches, suggests deeper cracks in The Bloodline, especially after Sikoa’s betrayal attempts. Priest, visibly battered, vowed retribution, hinting at a SummerSlam clash.

The backstory adds fuel: Priest challenged Fatu for the US Title on SmackDown, only to face interference from Sikoa and JC Mateo, escalating their feud. Fatu’s dominance since defeating LA Knight at WrestleMania, coupled with his “Samoan Werewolf” persona, makes him a formidable champion, but Priest’s resilience signals an ongoing war.

As WWE heads toward SummerSlam, the fallout from this disqualification promises drama. Will Priest topple Fatu, or will The Bloodline’s enforcer continue his reign? With fans buzzing on X and superstars like LA Knight circling, the WWE Universe awaits the next chapter in this gripping saga. Stay tuned to SmackDown for updates!
