WWE Hall of Famer breaks silence on latest addition to The Bloodline on SmackDown
On this week's WWE SmackDown, Solo Sikoa recruited a new member to The Bloodline faction. Following the events on the blue brand, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. shared his thoughts on the arrival of Jacob Fatu in one of the company's most dominant groups.
Cody Rhodes faced Solo Sikoa in the main event of the June 21, 2024, edition of Friday Night SmackDown. The American Nightmare was on the verge of pinning interim Head of The Table, but Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga interfered, and the bout ended in DQ.
Even though Kevin Owens and Randy Orton came to the aid of Rhodes, The Bloodline had a numbers advantage as Jacob Fatu made his WWE debut and wreaked havoc on the babyfaces.
For those unaware, the 32-year-old star has had several appearances at the Reality of Wrestling (ROW) promotion, which was founded by Booker T. Following SmackDown, the NXT commentator broke his silence on the arrival of The Samoan Werewolf in the Stamford-based promotion.
"The Samoan Werewolf is now in WWE—oh yesssssss! @SAMOANWEREWOLF #SmackDown," Booker wrote.

WWE veteran wants to keep a safe distance from the newest Bloodline member
Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell shared his thoughts on Jacob Fatu aligning with the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline on the latest episode of SmackDown. The Samoan Werewolf made an instant impact on his debut, as he took out Kevin Owens with a Samoan Drop on the steel steps before launching Randy Orton through the barricade.
The 32-year-old also sent The American Nightmare crashing through the announcer's desk with a vicious Frog Splash before officially aligning with The Bloodline.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Mantell claimed that Jacob Fatu looked like a wild man, adding that he would never want to be around the 32-year-old. The veteran also stated that Fatu played the role ''to the hilt.''
"He played the role to the hilt. They gave him at least 90 seconds with everybody out there. The camera was all on Fatu, and he looked a little crazy. He looked wild. If you met him in a dark alley at night, I think time to hit that ankle express and get the hell out of there because he looked crazy; he looked wild," he said.
