Sam Roberts discussed Jacob Fatu's addition to The Bloodline
Wrestling veteran Sam Roberts discussed Jacob Fatu's addition to The Bloodline. He mentioned that the current leader of The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa, had taken charge of the faction during Roman Reigns' absence.
Speaking on Notsam Wrestling, on how the debutant could fit into the storyline, Roberts stated that Fatu could be the one taking care of business within The Bloodline. He also said the Tongan brothers could act as foot soldiers, and the boss could take it easy in his newly suited look. He also noted that there was scope for a power struggle eventually within the faction.
"The idea of where does he fits in. Clearly, the idea of a power struggle can be there. I think right now, the idea of Solo Sikoa being his boss, this Tribal Chief character, a guy who doesn't have to wrestle, this guy who wears a red T-shirt and a blazer, and Jacob Fatu being the guy who takes care of the business, while the Tongans are there as foot soldiers, feels like how this all works out," said Roberts.
Fatu and the new Bloodline could feud with Roman Reigns upon The Tribal Chief's return to the Stamford-based promotion. It remains to be seen when the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion will make his return.
