Solo Sikoa’s faction captures titles one week before Royal Rumble
Summary
– The Wyatt Sicks lost the WWE Tag Team Titles on January 23 SmackDown
– Solo Sikoa played a decisive role using Bray Wyatt’s lantern
– New champions were crowned just days before the Royal Rumble
WWE crowned new Tag Team Champions during the January 23 episode of SmackDown from Montreal. With the Royal Rumble approaching, the title change added momentum to an already heated rivalry.
Tensions between the Wyatt Sicks and Solo Sikoa’s faction escalated earlier when Sikoa took possession of Bray Wyatt’s lantern. That act became the emotional center of the championship match and set the tone for what followed.
The title bout featured a competitive back-and-forth until outside involvement shifted the outcome. Solo Sikoa used the lantern to distract Dexter Lumis, creating an opening that shifted the match’s direction.
Moments later, Sikoa struck Lumis with the lantern, allowing his faction to secure the pinfall and win the WWE Tag Team Championships. The finish stunned the Montreal crowd and left the Wyatt Sicks without both their titles and a symbolic piece of their identity.
With new champions in place and the Royal Rumble just days away, the rivalry appears far from finished. The Wyatt Sicks now have the motivation to reclaim both their championships and the lantern that was taken from them.
