Jacob Fatu to make his WWE debut as a surprise opponent? Exploring potential introduction of The Samoan Werewolf
Earlier this year, Jacob Fatu was described by many as the hottest free agent in pro wrestling. Now, with several reports suggesting he has signed with WWE, many are eagerly anticipating his debut. It has been months since Fatu reportedly joined the company, but he has yet to make a TV appearance. Is the promotion waiting for the opportune moment to introduce him as a surprise opponent?
Considering the current state of things, this is a huge possibility. The Bloodline is currently in turmoil, with a new leader emerging in the form of Solo Sikoa, who has brought in new members, namely Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. Many believe Roman Reigns may not approve of the new additions to the faction, leading to a clash between the old guard of the Samoan group and the new at Survivor Series.
Roman Reigns, flanked by his cousins, Jey and Jimmy Uso, could take on Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and a potential future addition, Hikuleo. Doing the math, it's obvious that Reigns' team is a man short. However, he may have a fourth teammate, who will be revealed on the night of the match. The fourth member would be none other than Jacob Fatu.
The Samoan Werewolf could make an entrance similar to the one Kevin Owens made at NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2019.
It certainly would be quite an introduction to the WWE Universe and would allow Jacob Fatu to make an instant impact. However, this is all just mere speculation, and there is no telling what is in store for the former champion. Fans will just have to wait and see how things unfold.
What is Jacob Fatu's relation to the members of The Bloodline?
At this point, Jacob Fatu's WWE debut seems inevitable, but how is he related to the whole story surrounding The Bloodline? Well, as many will already know, Fatu is a real-life Bloodline member. A part of the famous Anoa'i family, the 32-year-old is directly related to the original members of the faction.
The son of Sam Fatu, The Samoan Werewolf, is first cousins with The Usos and Solo Sikoa. Additionally, as per the Anoa'i family tree, both Roman Reigns and The Rock are his uncles. Regarding the newest additions to the group, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, Jacob has no direct relation to them.
The Rock has said in the past that he views the Tongans' father, Haku, as his uncle.
The Anoa'i family is one of the most prestigious families in pro wrestling. While The Bloodline is only a small representation, it feels like only a matter of time before more real-life members join the fold in WWE.
