The latest episode of WWE SmackDown saw Solo Sikoa-run Bloodline brutally attack The Wiseman, Paul Heyman. While there is no update on whether he will be replaced, a former manager has teased his return to the promotion. The name in question is Armando Estrada.
Jacob Fatu made his WWE debut on SmackDown last week and saved his cousins from Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens by destroying the babyface trio in the show's closing moments. Pleased with his work, Sikoa officially welcomed The Samoan Warewolf into The Bloodline on the blue brand this week.
However, The Bloodline Acknowledgment Ceremony took a shocking turn when Paul Heyman refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as his Tribal Chief. As a result, Sikoa hit Heyman with a Samoan Spike and ordered The Bloodline to take out The Wiseman which ultimately saw Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa put Heyman through the announcer's table.
A fan took to X (formerly Twitter) and speculated an idea that could see Armando Estrada return to WWE after 11 years as the new Wiseman to The Bloodline. Estrada used to manage Umaga back. Replying to the speculation the former manager tweeted:
Meet John Cena's dad HERE
"Be careful what you wish for....."
Triple H could pull off an excellent swerve by having Estrada manage only Jacob Fatu who was introduced on SmackDown as "The Enforcer" of The Bloodline, a title previously held by Solo Sikoa when Roman Reigns was The Tribal Chief. Estrada potentially managing The Samoan Werewolf could add to the speculations surrounding Fatu's real intent behind joining The Bloodline.
Jacob Fatu could play a crucial role at WWE Money in the Bank
The Bloodline's extensive feud with Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, and Cody Rhodes led to the babyface trio joining forces against the heel faction on SmackDown. A huge match at Money in the Bank next weekend will see The Viper, The Prizefighter, and The American Nightmare take on The Bloodline in a Six-man tag team match.
However, The Samoan faction could have Jacob Fatu at ringside while the other three members compete in the match. Fatu could prove to be a detrimental factor in this match. He may run a customary interference to help Solo Sikoa win. It will be interesting to see if Cody Rhodes' team will find someone to be in their corner to even out the numbers game.
