Jacob Fatu stunned the WWE Universe on the latest episode of SmackDown as he became the newest member to join The Bloodline. Rikishi, who had been a big advocate of the star's abilities, posted an interesting picture following The Samoan Werewolf's debut.
Jacob Fatu reportedly inked a deal with the global wrestling juggernaut during the WrestleMania XL season. However, the company waited a while before introducing him on the big stage. The 32-year-old star made his presence felt on SmackDown this past Friday as he single-handedly took out Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens, aligning with The Bloodline in the process.
While the latest recruit looks to be working under Solo Sikoa, Rikishi posted a picture of The Bloodline with Jacob Fatu in the front, seemingly hinting that The Samoan Werewolf could be the nucleus of the heel faction.

WWE analyst believes Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa could feud down the line
While Solo Sikoa still looks like the leader of the new Bloodline, WWE analyst Sam Roberts believes that a battle for the control of the heel faction between The Enforcer and Jacob Fatu can take place down the line.
"The idea of where does he (Jacob Fatu) fits in. Clearly, the idea of a power struggle can be there. I think right now, the idea of Solo Sikoa being his boss, this Trial Chief character, a guy who doesn't have to wrestle, this guy who wears a red T-shirt and a blazer, and Jacob Fatu being the guy who takes care of the business, while the Tongans are there as foot soldiers, feels like how this all works out," Sam Roberts said.
The Samoan Werewolf joined WWE with a lot of hype behind him. The 32-year-old star is an amazing mixture of athleticism and strength and he showcased some of that on SmackDown as he laid out Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, and Cody Rhodes all by himself.
Jacob was trained by Rikishi during the start of his pro wrestling career. The WWE Hall of Famer has always touted the star as one of the best. The Samoan Werewolf was a prominent name on the independent circuit and Major League Wrestling (MLW) before he signed with the Stamford-based promotion.
