This past Friday on WWE SmackDown, Jacob Fatu cut loose once again. He destroyed multiple superstars, including Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and the newly crowned tag team champions, DIY.

On social media, Fatu's fellow Anoa'i family member, Rikishi, sent a message to The Bloodline member. The 32-year-old was brought into the faction as Solo Sikoa's Enforcer and he has lived up to expectations so far.

The Stamford-based promotion posted a clip of Fatu's rampage from SmackDown on their X (fka Twitter) account today, which caught Rikishi's attention. The WWE Hall of Famer acknowledged Fatu's actions with the hand gesture that is now synonymous with the faction.

Check out a screengrab of Rikishi's comment on WWE's post and his message to Fatu below:

Since debuting in WWE, Fatu has competed in one official match. At the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event, he teamed up with Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga for a victory over Rhodes, Orton, and Kevin Owens.


Sam Roberts discussed the idea of a feud between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa

Jacob Fatu has been loyal to Solo Sikoa and has acknowledged the latter as his Tribal Chief several times till now.

However, WWE analyst, Sam Roberts believes that both The Bloodline members could feud at some point down the road. Speaking on the Notsam Wrestling podcast, he said everything was fine within the group now where Sikoa had an Enforcer and two foot soldiers in the Tongans, who would get his work done for him. While all he had to do was wear a red T-shirt and a blazer and give orders.

"The idea of where does he 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 Tribal 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," said Roberts.

Fatu has already become an integral part of The Bloodline storyline. It remains to be seen when he will step into a WWE ring for his first singles match in the company.
