WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi recently addressed Sports Illustrated's choice of a Bloodline member as the Breakout Star of 2024. He gave the aforementioned superstar sincere advice.

Jacob Fatu reportedly signed with the Stamford-based company last April. Nearly two months later, he made his debut on SmackDown, joining the new Bloodline under Solo Sikoa's leadership. He has since become the personal Enforcer of the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief. The Samoan Werewolf's performance since joining WWE has gained a lot of praise from fans and experts. Sports Illustrated recently named him the Breakout Star of 2024.

Speaking on his Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, the Hall of Famer was asked to give his nephew advice in 2025. He advised him to keep working hard and step up to any opportunity given to him. He also encouraged Fatu to keep his humble beginnings and culture in mind, stating that it would keep him solid from all the "noise" around him.

As the Wrestling legend admitted it could be overwhelming for The Bloodline member to suddenly have everything after he had nothing, he urged the 32-year-old to look within his inner circle to those who truly love him and forgive people who act like they do while continuing to focus on his purpose":

"At the end of the day, is you know your purpose and your purpose is there as you're a performer, you're an entertainer for the WWE. Go out there and give the best that you can every night. And don't take one night for granted that tomorrow can be gone. Embrace and say thank you to those that really has helped you during the time of your journey into this professional wrestling world," he said.

Rikishi also urged Fatu to embrace his time in the Stamford-based company, reminding him that everything could end tomorrow:

"See the good of the WWE. See the good of the locker room. Don't hold a lot of things that hurt your heart and hurt your feelings that'll let that affect your performance and your duties to be able to do in the WWE. So, just embrace it and thank God for every moment and opportunity because everything can be gone tomorrow." [From 15:39 to 16:47]

Will Jacob Fatu destroy Roman Reigns on WWE RAW?

Roman Reigns is set to square off with Solo Sikoa in Tribal Combat on the premiere of Monday Night RAW on Netflix on January 6. Speaking on the Straight Talk with The Boss podcast, wrestling veteran Magnum T.A. suggested Jacob Fatu could destroy the OTC after the match.

The 65-year-old claimed Reigns could defeat Sikoa before getting attacked by The Samoan Werewolf, who could leave the OTC in a puddle of his own blood:

"Roman could win the thing back and Jacob could come out and get so much heat on him after the fact that it's a made deal. They got no way that he just comes completely unleashed and nobody can control him. You know, because this far, you know, they've always been, 'Stop this! Don't do that!' You know, hold him back. If he became in the people's mind somebody who has come unglued and weren't gonna play by the rules and beat the hell out of about 15 people and left Roman laying in a puddle, you know, then they might have some money there," he said.

It would be interesting to see if Jacob Fatu would become a bigger star in WWE in 2025.
