Solo Sikoa Cost Drew McIntyre the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship

Solo Sikoa made a surprise appearance at Clash at the Castle during McIntyre's Undisputed Championship match against Roman Reigns. McIntyre had the Tribal Chief beat when he hit Reigns with a Claymore Kick.

The moment the referee's hand came down for a third count, Solo Sikoa pulled him out of the ring. This distracted McIntyre, which resulted in Reigns winning the match after hitting McIntyre with the Spear.
