Report: WWE Creative Fearful Jacob Fatu Could Outshine Solo Sikoa
Fears within WWE over Jacob Fatu potentially outshining Solo Sikoa
May 9, 2024
Jacob Fatu may unintentionally end up scuppering WWE's current plans for The Bloodline.
The former MLW World Heavyweight Champion is an acclaimed in-ring worker and there are fears within WWE creative, according to WrestleVotes, that Fatu could outshine Solo Sikoa. These fears have arisen amid WWE's plans to establish Sikoa as "the main force" in the new version of The Bloodline.
"Interesting tidbit here: sources suggest that Solo Sikoa's recent aggressive streak is part of a strategy to establish him as 'the' main force within this new phase of the Bloodline, ahead of Jacob Fatu's debut. However, some trepidation remains within creative over fear that Fatu's presence could outshine Solo at this stage," WrestleVotes tweeted.
Bloodline 2.0 has been established since WrestleMania 40, with Roman Reigns off WWE TV since he dropped the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Cody Rhodes at WWE's biggest show of the year, while The Rock has headed back to Hollywood for the time being. Sikoa has established himself as the new leader with Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa as his lieutenants. Paul Heyman also remains a part of the group, looking increasingly terrified by the week.
Jacob Fatu has yet to debut on WWE TV, although he signed with the company in the days leading up to WrestleMania 40. Plans were in place for him to debut in late April but those plans were ultimately postponed.
