Rikishi has sent a three-word message to Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga following last night's SmackDown. The Bloodline members became the number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championship by winning a Gauntlet match on the blue brand.
Originally, Tama and his brother, Tonga Loa, were scheduled to represent The Bloodline in the Tag Team Gauntlet Match to decide the number one contenders for DIY's titles. However, Loa was forced out of action due to an eye injury, which he suffered last week on SmackDown, and was replaced by Fatu.
On Twitter/X, Rikishi reacted to Fatu and Tama's victory. The duo defeated The Street Profits to earn a shot at Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa's titles.

"Unleash the BEASTS," wrote Rikishi.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Check out Rikishi's tweet:
Dutch Mantell has been highly impressed with Jacob Fatu
Since debuting in WWE, Jacob Fatu has changed the entire landscape and has been a force to be reckoned with.
At the Money in the Bank Premium Live Event, his contributions led to a massive victory for The Bloodline. The faction defeated Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, and Cody Rhodes in a Six-Man Tag Team Match with Sikoa pinning the Undisputed WWE Champion.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's latest edition of Smack Talk, Mantell spoke highly of Fatu and praised him for his incredible athleticism.
"He has dropped weight. But what an athlete! A guy that weighs that much can do backflips off the top turnbuckle. That's unbelievable!"
Fatu is still relatively new to the WWE scene but could win his first championship ahead of the SummerSlam Premium Live Event. On next week's edition of SmackDown, he and Tama Tonga will challenge #DIY for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
The duo of Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa defeated A-Town Down (Austin Theory and Grayson Waller) to become the new tag team champions on the July 5, 2024 edition of SmackDown. It remains to be seen if WWE decides to put a championship on Jacob Fatu just weeks after his debut.
