WWE Legend wants to be at SummerSlam to watch The Bloodline, says Triple H would "let him in" (Exclusive)

This week's WWE SmackDown episode was all about the new Bloodline's domination as Solo Sikoa and his crew laid out the babyface alliance led by Cody Rhodes. Following the show, Dutch Mantell revealed he'd love to be at SummerSlam as he is very invested in the current product.

After Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens defeated A-Town Down Under, the Samoans predictably hit the ring, and a massive brawl broke out. At the end of it all, The Bloodline stood tall, and Dutch Mantell specifically liked how WWE had already made Jacob Fatu look like a "killer."

While sharing his thoughts on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell said that while the main event match was "okay," the focus was on what happened after the final bell.

Jacob Fatu caught Dutch Mantell's eye, who felt the latest addition to the Samoan faction was the difference-maker. Fatu has legitimized the new-look Bloodline, and Dutch Mantell can't wait for SummerSlam, where he expects the team to be heavily featured.

"They are making Jacob Fatu the killer that they need because he can stand up to anybody, and I think, if you put those together without somebody, Jospesh Fatu, they are just another team. But now, when you throw him in there, he makes all the difference in the world because he is the leverage they need and the killer they need. So, I think they did a good job with this, and they are working their way to Cleveland. I think they are going to have a hell of a match there." [From 16:00 onwards]

Dutch Mantell hasn't worked for the WWE since 2016, but he wouldn't mind attending SummerSlam. The legendary manager joked that the WWE would make him buy tickets for the PLE and even claimed he'd go around backstage asking for Vince McMahon.

Mantell, however, was confident that he would certainly be welcome at SummerSlam by the new regime led by Triple H:

"If I could go, I would go to this show, but they would make me buy a ticket, I guess! I'd refuse should I have the money; I'd say, 'Hey, I need to see Vince. He's not here anymore. Really? What happened there?' Yeah, he'd [Triple H] let me in. Oh yeah!" [17:10 - 17:31]

With Cody Rhodes set to defend his title against Solo Sikoa at WWE SummerSlam, the other Bloodline members could also be involved in a big match, and we're sure many, like Dutch Mantell, are excited about the upcoming event.
