Does Jacob Fatu have real-life heat with Solo Sikoa? Exploring their relationship
Solo Sikoa decided to add Jacob Fatu to the new version of The Bloodline back in June and the latter has done a great job ever since. Sikoa became the new Tribal Chief, while Fatu replaced him as the faction's Enforcer.
Despite their great on-screen relationship and in-ring collaboration, there were some rumors online that there was real-life heat between the two superstars backstage, but this rumor is far from the truth.
Sikoa and Fatu have no heat backstage, as confirmed by wrestling veteran Disco Inferno. Speaking on Keepin' It 100 Official, Disco denied these rumors, calling people out for spreading such information online.
"What on Earth are you watching on screen and thinking they have legit heat backstage with each other? That's absurd. There's literally nothing in their performances. I don't like him standing there and praying to Solo [Sikoa] with the praying hands. I think that's kind of silly looking, to be honest with you. I'm not a fan of that," Disco Inferno said.
Almost a week ago, Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu stunned the OG Bloodline and helped The Bloodline 2.0 win the six-man tag team match at Crown Jewel. This was only the first part in the faction's civil war, which is seemingly set to reach its peak at Survivor Series on November 30.
WWE legend calls Solo Sikoa a 'main eventer'
Solo Sikoa has done a great job as a heel ever since his move to the main roster in September 2022. Now the leader of the new Bloodline, Sikoa wants to claim his first-ever major singles title in WWE.
Speaking on his Off The Top podcast, WWE legend Rikishi praised Solo, calling him a 'main eventer' and expected him to become a champion soon.
"Solo’s already a made man - Solo’s already a main event player. If they decide or want to go with belts, putting it on Solo, it's only just going to increase revenue. Because you put it on the most hated guy in the business right now, people can't wait to see who is gonna take it off him," he said.
Rikishi has often been linked to The Bloodline civil war, and fans could see him return to WWE as the faction's Wiseman, a role Paul Heyman will re-claim with The OG Bloodline.
