5 feuds on SmackDown for new WWE star Jacob Fatu: Going for the King, ending the Legend Killer & more
Jacob Fatu shocked the world by putting Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes through the announce table on the latest episode of SmackDown.
Solo Sikoa said that "we" had Cody Rhodes in check several weeks ago. With The Samoan Werewolf's debut, the Bloodline has the numbers advantage over the rest of the roster.
Fatu's emergence on SmackDown puts the rest of the blue brand on notice. After his earth-shattering debut, the next five WWE stars could stand in Jacob Fatu's way.
#5. The Street Profits have recently tangled with the Bloodline
Whatever the reason may be, Bobby Lashley has been out of commission since WrestleMania. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins have backed up other SmackDown stars, including LA Knight and Kevin Owens, against the Bloodline.
If Solo Sikoa is determined to eliminate all threats, he will address the Street Profits. It would make sense for Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa to take them out but he may want a definitive statement like Fatu made on SmackDown.
The Samoan Werewolf could attack the team or pick them off one by one. Doing so could also lead to a triumphant return to WWE for a healthy Lashley to join the side of good.
#4. Kevin Owens is the Bloodline's oldest enemy
After Roman Reigns persuaded Jey Uso to join him, Kevin Owens became one of Reigns' first challengers as Universal Champion in 2020. That was four years ago, and Owens is still battling the Bloodline.
The names and faces may have changed within the group, but the goal is the same: total subjugation of WWE and its fans.
The Prizefighter has faced every member of the group at one point so it's likely he'll face Jacob Fatu in the coming weeks. It could also be a complimentary side feud if Solo and Cody face off for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
#3. Randy Orton should be a target for any new WWE Superstar
Like Owens, Knight, and Rhodes, Randy Orton has been entangled with the Bloodline for months. He challenged Solo and Tama Tonga at Backlash France but lost. The villains have continued to assault the duo, and The Viper was one of the stars Fatu took out before putting Rhodes through the table.
Due to his standing and longevity in WWE, any new star looking to make a name for themselves should go after Randy Orton. Taking out The Legend Killer is no small task but whoever is successful would have bragging rights.
If Fatu can brag that he took out Orton and Rhodes, then Solo Sikoa might regret the decision to bring The Samoan Werewolf into the fold.
#2. LA Knight doesn't like the Bloodline
Another SmackDown star with history and unfinished business with the Bloodline is LA Knight. He may be busy with Logan Paul at the moment, but Knight has crossed paths with the group several times over the last 10 months.
Solo and Jimmy Uso cost him his match with Reigns at Crown Jewel last November. He's also recently battled Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga. Interference against Tonga cost Knight a chance to be the King of the Ring.
If The Megastar beats Paul for the US Championship, someone from the Bloodline will be coming for the title. With the way the group is structured, Fatu would be the promising newcomer who may overshadow the group's leader, just like Orton in Evolution.
#1. Cody Rhodes already suffered the wrath of Jacob Fatu
While they're at two different spots on the card, casual WWE fans were introduced to Jacob Fatu via his actions against Owens, Orton, and Rhodes.
Firing a shot at the top star in WWE is a bold move, even if Solo Sikoa orchestrated it. It wouldn't happen right away since he just debuted, but Rhodes will want revenge on Fatu for his actions on SmackDown.
The feud could lead up to his match with Sikoa, or it could happen after if Sikoa is unable to wrest the title from The American Nightmare. Rhodes was not collateral damage but rather a high-value target of the Bloodline.
