Popular star could soon challenge Solo Sikoa for The Bloodline's control in WWE, says analyst, and it's not Roman Reigns
A backstage WWE personality has predicted an unexpected turn of events that could witness Solo Sikoa battling a popular star for The Bloodline's control. Sam Roberts believes that though Jacob Fatu's arrival has strengthened the stable, it could eventually result in a power struggle between him and Sikoa.
After weeks of speculation, Jacob Fatu finally made his blockbuster debut on WWE SmackDown, where he went on a rampage. The 32-year-old star single-handedly took out Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, and Cody Rhodes in the closing moments of the show, giving a clear indication of what fans can expect from him.
On his podcast, Notsam Wrestling, Sam Roberts predicted how Fatu could fare in WWE as part of The Bloodline. While Roberts stated that Jacob Fatu could work under the command of Solo Sikoa for now, he believes it could eventually take shape into a power struggle between the two for the stable's control.
"The idea of where does he (Jacob Fatu) 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 Trial 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 Sam Roberts.

As expected, Jacob Fatu's arrival on WWE SmackDown after Solo Sikoa and Cody Rhodes' match ended in a disqualification, took the wrestling world by storm.
