The Rock and Roman Reigns just finished a massive WrestleMania XL storyline arc. Despite the latter losing, it looks like Jacob Fatu could continue The Bloodline's story in WWE. Interestingly, this might have been planned since the 'Mania Sunday Main Event was decided.
At the beginning of this year, The Rock returned to WWE and issued a challenge against Roman Reigns. However, fans clamored to see Roman vs. Cody Rhodes instead, which was confirmed during the WrestleMania XL Kickoff Press Event on February 8, 2024.
The Bloodline members also showcased the Anoa'i family tree to display how they have run the sport for generations, which includes some of the greatest names like Yokozuna, Rikishi, Umaga, and more. Interestingly, another star whose name was present on the graphic was Jacob Fatu, and this may have been The Final Boss's way of hinting that his family would only grow in the Stamford-based promotion.

The majority of the names in The Bloodline family tree are WWE Superstars
Some of the names that were part of The Bloodline graphic are current stars like Naomi, Nia Jax, Roman Reigns, The Usos, Ava, and Solo Sikoa. Legends like Rikishi, Yokozuna, and Umaga were also present.
Many of the names included in the graphic have not competed in WWE, including Jacob. What fans might have missed is that the 31-year-old’s name was added to the graphic, while another active member of the family was not. This would be Zilla Fatu, the son of Umaga. Despite currently performing, his name was not part of the list.
The Rock already has the power in WWE
One of the major pieces of wrestling news this year was not only The Rock returning to initially challenge Roman Reigns, but also his taking a seat on TKO's Board of Directors. His new authority position in the company was used in his feud with Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, and he could have used it for his cousin, too.
It could be said that The Rock had already signed Jacob Fatu earlier this year but for personal gain. Dwayne could have used Jacob as an extra in case things went south with Roman, who has Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso by his side.
The Rock could ensure Roman Reigns won't be ready for their next meeting
As mentioned above, Dwayne initially returned to WWE to challenge Roman for the title before fans voiced their opinions that it should be Cody instead. With this in mind, The Rock choosing to side with Reigns may be just part of one of his plans.
Johnson teaming with Roman and getting him to face Cody could have been his way of ensuring his cousin wouldn't be the Undisputed WWE Champion anymore. Now that Reigns is without the title, Dwayne could put the final nail in the coffin by having the entire family turn their back on him.
