Last night's episode of SmackDown ended in chaos, as Jacob Fatu debuted and officially joined The Bloodline. It was a huge move, that seemed to be orchestrated by Solo Sikoa. Fatu tore through everyone, and in the end, he stood tall along with the rest of the group. But, did Sikoa make a huge mistake recruiting Fatu in the first place?
The answer to this question lies in what went down during the whole segment. First off, Jacob Fatu was nothing short of savage. Living up to his nickname, The Samoan Werewolf, he did not hold back. No one could get through to him, not even Solo Sikoa himself, who called out to him on several occasions, only to be ignored.
Secondly, some may wonder if Jacob Fatu is fully loyal to Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline. After the havoc he created, Fatu entered the ring and shared a moment with Sikoa. The Street Champion hugged him, but some may have noticed that Fatu didn't hug back. Finally, even the Tongans, who have been uncontrollable since joining the group shared a look that was filled with skepticism over Fatu's presence.

Taking all this into consideration, one has to wonder if this recruitment was a good decision on Solo Sikoa's part. First impressions are last impressions, and Fatu seems like a problem. And, while he isn't a problem for The Bloodline now, there is no telling what could happen further down the line.
There were concerns regarding Jacob Fatu before his debut
There is no denying that Jacob Fatu's debut was impactful. On his first night, he showed the WWE Universe just what he was capable of. Not only did he take out Cody Rhodes, but he also took out Randy Orton and Kevin Owens single-handedly. Some may say, he was the star of the show, and that could be a major concern for WWE.
A few months ago, WrestleVotes reported that some concerns regarding The Samoan Werewolf were delaying his debut. In particular, they were worried that he would outshine Solo Sikoa, who now sits at The Head of the Table. As a result, WWE Creative has been pushing hard to emphasize to the WWE Universe, that Solo is the main force in The Bloodline.
Now that Fatu is on SmackDown, it's safe to say that WWE has put those concerns to one side. It will be interesting to see how things develop going forward, and how Fatu's debut affects The Bloodline.
