Zilla Fatu and Jacob Fatu teamed up on the independent circuit before the latter signed with WWE. Zilla is still performing on the indies, where he has established his place as one of the fastest-rising performers.
On the other hand, fans could expect Jacob to continue his dominance on SmackDown and storm the blue brand. Leading up to WrestleMania 41, he was feuding with Braun Strowman, whom he defeated in a Last Man Standing Match to become the number one contender to the US Title.
The Samoan Werewolf's first challenger hasn't been revealed by WWE. But, expect a lot to unfold on the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown.
