WWE Superstar Jacob Fatu handed major accolade

Since his WWE debut earlier this year, Jacob Fatu has been one of the most dominant stars. The Bloodline member has impressed fans and legends with his incredible in-ring ability, which has also enabled him to win an award presented by Sports Illustrated.

The 32-year-old made his first WWE appearance on the June 21 edition of Friday Night SmackDown after Cody Rhodes scored a win via DQ over Solo Sikoa. He took out The American Nightmare and his allies, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens, to establish The Bloodline's dominance. In his in-ring debut, Fatu teamed up with Sikoa and Tama Tonga to defeat the trio in a Six-Man Tag Team match at Money in the Bank.

Jacob Fatu's impressive performance in his first year in WWE has helped him win Sports Illustrated's Breakout Wrestler of the Year 2024. Other top contenders for the award were AEW's Mariah May, NXT's Stephanie Vaquer & TNA's Joe Hendry.

Wrestling veteran believes Jacob Fatu could take out former Undisputed WWE Champion at an upcoming show

Jacob Fatu's Tribal Chief, Solo Sikoa, will face Roman Reigns in a Tribal Combat match on RAW's Netflix Premiere. Wrestling veteran Magnum TA recently shared his prediction for the highly anticipated contest.

On the Straight Talk with The Boss podcast, Magnum stated that Roman Reigns could win the match to reclaim the Ula Fala. However, he believes that after Solo Sikoa loses the contest, The Samoan Werewolf could come out and attack everyone, including the OTC.

"Roman [Reaigns] could win the thing back and Jacob [Fatu] could come out and get so much heat on him after the fact that it's a made deal. They got no way that he just comes completely unleashed and nobody can control him. You know, because this far, you know, they've always been, 'Stop this! Don't do that!' You know, hold him back. If he became in the people's mind somebody who has come unglued and weren't gonna play by the rules and beat the hell out of about 15 people and left Roman laying in a puddle, you know, then they might have some money there," he said.
