WWE to change Jacob Fatu's name after SmackDown debut last week? Exploring their latest move

Jacob Fatu finally made his long-awaited debut last week on WWE SmackDown by helping his cousin, Solo Sikoa, and The Bloodline. However, it seems like he has also undergone a similar process to his recently added stablemates upon joining the company, not long ago.

After WrestleMania 40, Solo Sikoa began managing The Bloodline and made major changes to its lineup. He removed Jimmy Uso and added Tama Tonga, followed by Tonga Loa. Jacob Fatu was also added to the new list of recruits just last week.

While Tama retained his name in the company, Loa's changed from Tanga to Tonga. Another star that may change his name soon upon appearing in the company is Hikuleo after WWE trademarked Talla Tonga. However, the company may have gone in a different direction for the 32-year-old Fatu.

WWE will seemingly not change Jacob Fatu's name, as seen during his SmackDown debut last week, after commentators and the company itself through their social media accounts, have referred to him by his real name. However, the Stamford-based promotion did file a trademark for 'The Samoan Werewolf' and his real name.

Yet another name that the Stamford-based company has trademarked could possibly be related to another future Bloodline member or a Samoan wrestler is 'Caesar Sikoa'. Many theorize that this name could eventually belong to Zilla Fatu, the son of the late Umaga, who just began wrestling last year, and is rumored to be joining the company.

How did former WWE veteran react to Jacob Fatu's SmackDown debut?

Many fans were already aware of who The Samoan Werewolf was from his time in Major League Wrestling, wherein he showed his impressive skills on the mic and inside the ring. Unsurprisingly, even former WWE manager Dutch Mantell was impressed during last week's debut.

During the previous Smack Talk episode, Dutch Mantell shared how Jacob's presentation during his debut made him look unhinged, wild, and intimidating. The veteran even expressed he wanted nothing to do with Fatu.

"He played the role to the hilt. They gave him at least 90 seconds with everybody out there. The camera was all on Fatu and he looked a little crazy. He looked wild. If you met him in a dark alley at night, I think time to hit that ankle express and get the hell out of there because he looked crazy, he looked wild," said Mantell.
