Roman Reigns to team with Jacob Fatu vs. Solo's Bloodline; major reunion scrapped? 5 Ways The Enforcer can turn babyface when he returns to WWE
Solo Sikoa almost became the Undisputed WWE Champion at SummerSlam when Jacob Fatu hit Cody Rhodes with a splash from the top rope through the table. However, The Samoan Werewolf injured his leg in the process and has been on the sidelines since then.
Jacob Fatu was spotted wearing a walking boot after The Biggest Party of the Summer. He is reportedly doing well and is only being kept off television because WWE wants to keep him and Roman Reigns apart for now. This is due to the fact that the company does not want Fatu to sell for The Original Tribal Chief as it would make the former look weak.
It is possible that he will return to action and side with Reigns.
So, let's take a look at five ways Jacob Fatu can return to WWE as a babyface.
#5. Jacob Fatu could save Roman Reigns from The Bloodline's assault
Roman Reigns returned to WWE SmackDown last week and took out The Bloodline on his own. Solo Sikoa and his men will be looking for payback against The Original Tribal Chief, and it is expected that they will get the upper hand at some point due to the numbers game.
Jacob Fatu has hinted at betraying Sikoa in the past so he could return to take out his stablemates and join forces with Reigns.
The Bloodline could not take out Reigns even when they outnumbered him, which was an embarrassing moment for the group. The Samoan Werewolf may decide to side with Reigns due to the latter outsmarting the three men on his own.
#4. Solo Sikoa humiliates Jacob Fatu for getting injured at WWE SummerSlam
Jacob Fatu tried his best to help Solo Sikoa dethrone Cody Rhodes as the Undisputed WWE Champion at SummerSlam, but The Samoan Werewolf could not help get Solo over the line after suffering a leg injury.
When Fatu returns, Sikoa could call him weak and injury-prone for what happened at SummerSlam and humiliate him for failing to take out Reigns and Cody Rhodes.
This may lead to the WWE Tag Team Champion leaving The Bloodline to side with The Original Tribal Chief.
#3. Roman Reigns could beat Jacob Fatu in a match
Jacob Fatu immediately overshadowed all other members of The Bloodline on the night of his debut. He single-handedly destroyed Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens.
The Samoan Werewolf will go head-to-head with Roman Reigns eventually, which will surely be an explosive encounter. It is possible that The Original Tribal Chief defeats Fatu, which leads to the latter's babyface turn.
He could then fall in line and acknowledge Reigns as his Tribal Chief.
#2. Solo Sikoa replaces Jacob Fatu with Hikuleo
Solo Sikoa's Bloodline was embarrassed by Roman Reigns on last week's episode of SmackDown. It showed how desperately the group needs an Enforcer like Jacob Fatu.
With The Samoan Werewolf out of action, Sikoa could replace him with Hikuleo, the brother of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. The former NJPW star reportedly signed with WWE so he could be the next addition to The Bloodline.
Fatu would not like such a move, so he may decide to part ways with Sikoa.
#1. Paul Heyman could convince Fatu to side with Roman Reigns if Jey Uso refuses to forgive The OTC
Jey Uso was the first to join The Bloodline after feuding with Roman Reigns in 2020. The former Right-Hand Man left the group in the summer of 2023 and moved to WWE RAW to stay away from his family.
With WWE Survivor Series: WarGames set to take place in November, fans are speculating that Reigns will reunite with the original Bloodline for a match with Solo Sikoa's Bloodline.
Jey Uso suffered for years under The Original Tribal Chief, so he may refuse to help him. This could lead to Paul Heyman making a call to Jacob Fatu and convincing him to side with Reigns.
The Samoan Werewolf could then become Roman Reigns' new Right-Hand Man and join his team ahead of the Bloodline Civil War.
