Ex-WWE veteran doesn't want anything to do with Jacob Fatu after shocking SmackDown debut (Exclusive)

Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell spoke about Jacob Fatu's debut on SmackDown. The debuting superstar grabbed headlines with his powerful performance on the blue brand.

Cody Rhodes was in action against Solo Sikoa this week on the blue brand. Minutes into the match, The Bloodline attacked the champ bringing the match to an end via DQ. Kevin Owens and Randy Orton rushed to help Cody. They took out the faction but were blinded by the debuting Jacob Fatu.

This week on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Mantell felt Jacob Fatu looked crazy during his short burst of action on SmackDown. He pointed out that WWE gave him the time to shine against established stars like Owens, Randy, and Cody. Mantell claimed that the debuting star looked like a dangerous man and that everyone should maintain a safe distance from him.

​

"He played the role to the hilt. They gave him at least 90 seconds with everybody out there. The camera was all on Fatu and he looked a little crazy. He looked wild. If you met him in a dark alley at night, I think time to hit that ankle express and get the hell out of there because he looked crazy, he looked wild." [21:00 onwards]

This week Solo informed Paul Heyman that Roman Reigns is not returning to the blue brand.

It will be interesting to see how the power dynamics within the Bloodline change if Roman Reigns ever returns to take control of the faction he created.
