Jacob Fatu Debuts On WWE SmackDown, Joins The Bloodline

After months of speculation and expectation, Jacob Fatu has finally debuted on WWE SmackDown. Current de facto Bloodline leader Solo Sikoa was finally outnumbered on last night’s episode of the blue brand, being hunted down by the super team of Randy Orton, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, and Kevin Owens. Sikoa had a plan B though, and smiled as the three heroes stalked him down.

The trio turned into an ambush and attack from Jacob Fatu, who dismantled the babyfaces with extreme force, evening hitting Cody Rhodes with a top rope splash through the announce table. Following the attack, Fatu stood tall with the other members of The Bloodline faction, signalling his siding with the group. He is the cousin of Solo Sikoa and The Usos, and the son of former professional wrestler Sam Fatu, also known as The Tonga Kid and The Samoan Savage.

Since WrestleMania 40, The Bloodline has seen three new members in Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and now Jacob Fatu, who is still going by the name he has used outside of WWE, despite a recent trademark filed for “Talla Tonga”, which fans have assumed will be going to Hikuleo. It reported over the last few months that WWE halted plans on bringing in Fatu due to the fear that he would "overshadow" Solo Sikoa.
