Just as the WWE Universe expected, Jacob Fatu attacked Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2024, intending to help Solo Sikoa to make him the new Undisputed WWE Champion in the Bloodline Rules Match. However, things did not go in favor of The Bloodline, as The American Nightmare defeated Solo and retained his title.

In the attempt to aid Sikoa, The Samoan Werewolf went crashing through the announcer’s table ringside, which seemingly led to an injury. An off-air video even showed the referee assisting Jacob Fatu backstage, indicating the possible seriousness of the injury.

In this article, we will discuss three potential replacements for the 32-year-old star in The Bloodline if his injury proves to be serious.


#3. Solo Sikoa might bring Hikuleo to his faction

One of the stars rumored to join The Bloodline saga soon is Hikuleo. However, many fans believe Hikuleo might join forces with Roman Reigns instead of Solo Sikoa. Following the unfortunate mishap at SummerSlam, this decision could be reevaluated, and WWE might ultimately decide to integrate Hikuleo into Solo's faction as a replacement for Jacob Fatu.

Adding the 33-year-old to The Bloodline could effectively fill the gap left by Fatu, especially if he takes a hiatus due to a potential injury.


#2. Zilla Fatu could soon make his debut as Jacob Fatu's replacement

Zilla Fatu is one of the names expected to join the potential internal tribal battles in the coming months. His recent appearance in the SummerSlam crowd has heightened interest, as many believe it could signal his potential arrival in the Stamford-based promotion.

If Jacob Fatu is seriously injured and unable to continue in the short term, the company might accelerate Zilla's potential debut. This could lead to him making his debut and aligning with Solo Sikoa as a potential replacement for The Samoan Werewolf.


#1. Solo might try to convince Jey Uso to join The Bloodline

Roman Reigns has returned to WWE and declared war against Solo Sikoa's faction. To bolster his position, The Original Tribal Chief needs allies, with Jey and Jimmy Uso being his top priorities. However, due to the strained relationship between Reigns and Jey, The YEET Master might refuse the reunion invitation.

This situation could lead to Solo Sikoa approaching Jey Uso on Monday Night RAW in an attempt to persuade him to join The Bloodline against Reigns. The motivation behind this is to have the Samoan Twin as a potential replacement for Jacob Fatu if his injury proves to be serious.

While this scenario seems unlikely, WWE might have to reconsider their original plans for The Bloodline saga in light of the unfortunate events that took place at The Biggest Party of the Summer.
