Current champion in danger, non-wrestler to be assaulted? - 4 WWE stars who might be the Jacob Fatu's next targets
Jacob Fatu is in WWE! The Samoan Werewolf is a veteran of the independent wrestling scene who has wrestled for Major League Wrestling, Game Changer Wrestling, and Reality of Wrestling, among other promotions.
Now, after months of rumors and speculation, the former MLW Heavyweight Champion is officially part of World Wrestling Entertainment. He made his debut on Friday Night SmackDown in a major way.
Fatu officially joined The Bloodline and did so by brutally beating down three all-time greats. He first took out Kevin Owens with a Samoan Drop on steel steps. Jacob then hit a Spear on Randy Orton through the barricade. Lastly, he put Cody Rhodes through a table with a massive splash.
Jacob immediately targeting three huge names is a big start to his career on SmackDown. This might not be all he targets, however. Fatu clearly isn't the type who wants to feud, instead, he's the kind who wants to jump people and fight, which means he could target a wealth of stars. This article will look at a handful of options.
Below are four WWE stars who might be Jacob Fatu's next target.
#4. LA Knight has a history of issues with The Bloodline
LA Knight is one of the most popular WWE Superstars in the game today. He is a veteran of the industry, but only truly began taking off at a major level last year. Knight aims to win his first title on the main roster in 2024, but he could have other issues to deal with first.
The Megastar has his fair share of history with The Bloodline. He attempted to dethrone the-then Undisputed WWE Champion Roman Reigns last year. This made him an enemy of Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso in addition to The Tribal Chief.
While Roman and Jimmy are gone, the bad blood between Knight and The Bloodline may still exist. If it does, Jacob Fatu could target the loud star and make sure he never says another word about the most dominant faction in pro wrestling.
#3. Jacob Fatu could go after Paul Heyman after his disobedience
Paul Heyman is an icon in pro wrestling. He has been in the industry for decades and has done everything there is to do. Still, arguably his peak in the industry has come in the form of being Roman Reigns' Wiseman in WWE. Unfortunately, Reigns is no longer around, which puts Paul in a tough spot.
It is clear that Heyman is lost without Roman Reigns, but he may have made a grave error on WWE SmackDown. He tried to ask CM Punk for help which did not sit well with Sikoa.
That kind of disrespect to The Bloodline may not go unchecked. Jacob Fatu may be the one tasked with taking the former ECW owner out in a very physical and violent manner. This would take care of their Wiseman problem going forward.
#2. He could want to win Logan Paul's WWE United States Ttitle
Logan Paul is a success story that nobody saw coming. A few years ago, the idea of Paul being a WWE performer was laughable. Now, he's the reigning United States Champion and even defeated Rey Mysterio for the title.
The Maverick has a big week ahead of him. He will be in a Triple Threat Match with both LA Knight and Santos Escobar. The winner of the bout will go on to participate in the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
While Paul is focused on Money in the Bank, he may need to shift his attention to protecting his title. There is a very real chance that, supposing Solo Sikoa intends to go after Cody Rhodes, Fatu could want the United States Championship. As good as The Maverick is, he would be doomed if Jacob Fatu targets him.
#1. Roman Reigns is the biggest looming threat
Roman Reigns has had an incredible run in WWE. He started his main roster career as a member of The Shield. From there, he broke out of the pack and became one of the top babyfaces in the company, albeit with a mixed reception from the audience.
Reigns truly hit his peak in WWE once he turned heel in 2020. He went on to become World Champion and hold it for the bulk of the next four years and only recently lost the gold and disappeared from television. Roman's presence is still looming, however, and he'll likely be back as a babyface.
A babyface Tribal Chief is bad news for The Bloodline. Solo may be concerned, but one man who won't be is Jacob Fatu. In fact, there is a very real chance that Fatu will choose to step up to The Head Of The Table and fight Reigns. If nothing else, don't be surprised to see Jacob jump Roman when the opportunity presents itself.
