Jacob Fatu's potential first opponent sends cryptic message amid WWE return rumors
Jacob Fatu emerged onto the scenes as the newest member of WWE SmackDown. The creative team is rumored to be building a rivalry between him and a veteran who has sent a cryptic message. The superstar is none other than Bobby Lashley.
Jacob Fatu’s arrival in the company has bolstered the Bloodline. Many see him as the most vicious Samoan in the entire wrestling industry. He has already shown what he is capable of on the latest edition of SmackDown, attacking Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, and Randy Orton.
A recent report stated that SmackDown plans to book Jacod Fatu’s first feud against former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley. On Instagram, The All Mighty posted a photo of himself shadowboxing and added the following cryptic caption:
"Not all hustle is loud. Sometimes hustle is just you grinding alone," Lashley wrote.
Check out his post below:
Bobby Lashley was pulled from the King of the Ring Tournament qualifiers due to an unknown injury. Nick Aldis replaced him with his The Pride stablemate, Angelo Dawkins, who could not win the tournament.
It looks like Lashley is training again, and his return could be on the horizon. It would be great to see the WWE veteran take on SmackDown’s newest heavyweight, who has built quite a reputation for himself.
Triple H has high hopes for Jacob Fatu in WWE
The Samoan Werewolf can potentially turn things around on the main roster. He is known to wreak havoc wherever he has gone on the independent circuit.
Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, Triple H noted that Jacob Fatu was a big name for the company and a game changer. It looks like the company's creative head has high hopes for the company’s newest star.
"You see those guys [The Bloodline] starting to run wild, and then the game changer happens with Jacob Fatu coming in. The Samoan Werewolf. Dude, he’s a game changer," Triple H said.
WWE fans will wait to see what Fatu can do in the ring against some of the best in the business. It will also be interesting to see how things change after Roman Reigns returns to the ring.
