The recent episode of WWE SmackDown delivered a major twist when Jacob Fatu was offered a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship rather than Solo Sikoa. However, when the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief ordered Fatu to step aside, Jacob obeyed, leading to his rematch with Cody Rhodes being scheduled for next week. This angle strongly suggests that Jacob Fatu is positioned as a future singles star and a potential challenger for the world title on SmackDown.
In this article, we will discuss three reasons why Jacob Fatu should face The American Nightmare for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

In just a few months, Jacob Fatu has impressed the WWE Universe, solidifying himself as a potential main event star. Fans are already envisioning dream matches for the Samoan Werewolf, with one of the most exciting being a showdown between Cody Rhodes and Fatu.
This match would not only bring a fresh and dynamic rivalry to WWE, but it would also inject new energy into The American Nightmare’s Undisputed Title reign. This is one of the key reasons Jacob Fatu should challenge Rhodes for the Undisputed Title, especially after the recent hint dropped on SmackDown.
#2. Could establish Jacob as a single main event star
Jacob's dominance is a key reason the WWE Universe believes he is the true future of The Bloodline and the Stamford-based promotion. A match between Cody Rhodes and Fatu could help WWE solidify the Samoan Werewolf as a singles main event star.
This match would not only prove that Jacob Fatu deserves to be a top star due to his Bloodline heritage but also show that he can push a World Champion like Cody Rhodes to his limits. Perhaps he even holds the ability to dethrone him.
Such a match would further establish Fatu's status as a legitimate singles competitor, boosting WWE's confidence in him for a potential singles run in the near future.
#1. To initiate the end of the new Bloodline
If a match between Fatu and Rhodes takes place in the near future, it could mark the beginning of the end for the new Bloodline. Solo Sikoa has already shown frustration with Jacob stepping up after being provoked by Cody. This tension suggests that if Jacob challenges Rhodes for the Undisputed Title, it could trigger a collapse within the faction.
Solo’s dissatisfaction with Jacob getting the title shot could deepen, potentially leading him to question his own standing and abilities as a future world champion. Such conflicts would escalate the tension within The Bloodline, eventually causing Jacob to turn against the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief.
This betrayal could set the stage for Fatu to transition into a babyface, sparking a new chapter in his WWE career.
