Bill Apter believes that a new member of the Bloodline can do what Solo Sikoa has been unable to accomplish in WWE. The name in question is Jacob Fatu, who recently made his first appearance in the Stamford-based promotion.
The Samoan Werewolf's debut on SmackDown saw him attacking Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, and Cody Rhodes. Since the three babyfaces are legends in their own right, WWE likely has big plans for Fatu's future. According to Hall of Fame journalist Bill Apter, the 32-year-old might portray a menacing character in the global juggernaut.
On Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted, Bill Apter said Solo Sikoa had lost much of his shine as a "maniacal killer." He believed that Jacob Fatu could eventually replace Sikoa in that role.
"I am gonna disagree a little bit. I think what Solo was supposed to be, that maniacal killer, didn't pan out. He didn't have that fire that they expected him to have. This guy [Jacob Fatu], I think is going to take that part of what Solo did not bring to the table that they originally saw in him." [20:16 onwards]
