"I've grown up watching these guys" - Roman Reigns' cousin says he gets emotional talking about The Bloodline storyline
Roman Reigns has been involved in a storyline with his cousins, The Usos, since he returned to the company in 2020, and they were part of a faction known as The Bloodline. His other cousin, Jacob Fatu, has shared that he gets emotional when he talks about the popular storyline.
At Night of Champions, Jimmy Uso turned on The Tribal Chief, and he and his brother Jey went on to leave the group. This past Saturday at Money in the Bank, the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion teamed up with Solo Sikoa to take on The Usos in a tag team match, which was won by the former tag champs. On SmackDown this week, it was announced that there will be a trial for Roman Reigns.
Speaking to Koffin Radio, Anoa'i family member Jacob Fatu commented on The Bloodline storyline, stating that it makes him emotional and that it is as real as it gets.
"I’m getting goosebumps right now just talking about it. Nah, but as a family member, I mean come on man. I’m entertained uce. We gotta remember bro, this hasn’t just been going on for six months or seven month run. We’re talking about three years uce, you know? And I get emotional when we talk about it. Sorry man, because this is how real it is though, you know what I’m saying? My family, it’s not just been this," said Fatu.
He continued:
"Come on bro, eight weeks in a row, over two million — the numbers don’t lie. So, sorry if I get emotional, choked up about it. It’s because I feel what they’re doing and I love it and I f**king love it. But overall, big dog Roman (Reigns), Solo (Sikoa), Usos, I’ve grown up watching these guys and like I said before, I was locked down in that thing and see ‘em on TV and bro, it’s longevity uce," added Fatu.
