Real-life Bloodline member names the most dangerous Samoan wrestler in WWE
WWE has had several Samoans over the years. Son of the late Umaga and real-life Bloodline member Zilla Fatu recently claimed Jacob Fatu is the most dangerous among all the Samoan wrestlers.
Jacob Fatu made his blockbuster debut on the June 21 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, joining forces with Solo Sikoa and attacking Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens. The 32-year-old has been dominant since and even won the WWE Tag Team Championship alongside fellow Bloodline member Tama Tonga on the blue brand's show before SummerSlam.
During an appearance on Ashlee Off-Air, Zilla Fatu was asked if he wanted to team with Jacob Fatu again. The newly crowned ROW Champion answered in affirmative while referring to Jacob as the most dangerous Samoan. He further thanked The Bloodline member for taking him under his guidance.
"With him? Hell yeah. Who wouldn't want the Samoan Werewolf on your team? Who wouldn't want the most dangerous Samoan? He's one of the ones. It's different having him there with me. A lot of people don't know it was Booker T and Jacob that play a big role in where I'm at today. Shoutout to Jacob for giving me the right knowledge, and taking me under his tree, and guiding me and giving me the right advice on how to do certain stuff in the ring. Shoutout to him," he said.

Zilla and Jacob Fatu teamed up multiple times in the independent circuits before The Samoan Werewolf signed with WWE. The son of Umaga was present at this year's SummerSlam in Cleveland, it will be interesting if the company brings in more Samoan stars in the near future.
Real-life Bloodline member wants to be a part of the Cody Rhodes-Roman Reigns WWE storyline
Former WWE Superstar Afa Anoa'i Jr. is a real-life Bloodline member, who was also Cody Rhodes' former teammate. The former Manu and Cody were part of Legacy, which was led by Randy Orton during the late 2000s. The heel faction also featured Ted DiBiase Jr. and Sim Snuka.
During Sportskeeda Wrestling's Exclusive SummerSlam Preview Show, Afa stated he would love to be a part of Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes' rivalry, considering the history he shares with The American Nightmare.
"If I was on the current roster, yeah, I think I would insert myself into the middle of Roman [Reigns] and Cody [Rhodes]. Yeah, just because of my history with Cody being on the Legacy and the fact that I'm in the Bloodline. I've been wrestling longer than all of them [laughs]. And I've been sitting on the bench. So, there could be little bad blood there. So, you know, I have always written myself in as the mystery wildcard," he said. [From 43:03 to 43:43]
In the main event of the SummerSlam Premium Live Event, Roman Reigns made his return to WWE programming, attacking Solo Sikoa and enabling Cody Rhodes to win the championship match. During the post-show press conference, Rhodes hinted at a trilogy fight against Reigns. It will be interesting to see if Roman and Cody cross paths again anytime soon.
