LA Knight, Royce Keys and Solo Sikoa defeated The Bloodline during SummerSlam night one.

Knight pinned Jey Uso after Sikoa struck Jimmy Uso with the Samoan Spike, preventing The Usos from completing the 1D.

The teams began fighting as soon as Knight, Keys and Sikoa entered the ring. Jimmy took out Knight and Keys with a dive, leaving Sikoa to confront his brother Jey.

After gaining the advantage, Sikoa called for Jey’s entrance music and performed the “Yeet” dance. Jacob Fatu entered and exchanged Samoan Drops with Sikoa before taking control.

The Bloodline isolated Sikoa as the crowd chanted his name. Fatu delivered a running hip attack and knocked Knight from the apron, but Sikoa eventually created an opening when he and Fatu struck each other with simultaneous clotheslines.

Keys entered against Jimmy and delivered a World’s Strongest Slam. He then caught Jey with a spinebuster and later powerslammed Jimmy from the middle rope.

Knight received the next tag and attacked Jey before knocking Fatu from the apron. Jey countered the BFT with a spear, but Knight kicked out.

A series of attacks followed as Jimmy landed an Uso Splash, Sikoa dropped him with the Spinning Solo and Fatu hit Sikoa with an implant DDT. Keys then drove Fatu into the mat with a spinebuster.

Their fight continued outside, where Keys caught a charging Fatu and powerslammed him over the barricade into the timekeeper’s area.

Back inside, Jey hit Knight with another spear before Jimmy connected with an Uso Splash for a near fall. The Usos then prepared for the 1D, but Sikoa entered and struck Jimmy with the Samoan Spike.

Knight took advantage by hitting Jey with the BFT for the pin at 11:03.

Sikoa and Knight embraced after the match, seemingly cementing Solo’s babyface status.
