WWE considering Jacob Fatu's first program against veteran - Reports
Jacob Fatu's WWE debut has sent fans into a frenzy. Coming out of a buzzworthy week in World Wrestling Entertainment, Fatu is the most talked about entity.
Just when fans thought they had the answer—The Bloodline's teased Six-Man Tag Team Match at Money in the Bank against Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens—WWE has changed the question.
Early talks of Fatu's first feud on SmackDown are being discussed with Bobby Lashley, as per Xero News on X/Twitter. The All Mighty is at present rebuilding after suffering an injury in May, which kept him out of the 2024 King of the Ring Tournament.
The creative team has already planted the seeds for how this angle could play out as Lashley's clan, The Street Profits, has issues with The Bloodline. Perhaps upon return, the former WWE Champion could play an integral part in the storyline.
Bobby Lashley is a true company man and has spent the past year slowly building up The Pride after being forced to sit on the bench at WrestleMania in 2023. It makes sense for him to step up and have his first singles program in over a year if that is the direction intended for the All Mighty. It is unclear when Lashley will make his return.
Bobby Lashley wanted a match against Gunther, but the former WWE Intercontinental Champion declined
During a recent appearance on WWE's The Bump, Bobby Lashley disclosed something that fans least expected.
The All Mighty had an interest in stepping inside the squared circle against Gunther, the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in WWE history. The two never were part of the same roster though. Nevertheless, Lashley added that it was The Ring General who declined.
"Yo, one person I would like to get my hands on because they've kept us really far apart for so long is Gunther," Lashley said. "Look, I've asked for this match several times. I've even asked him. He didn't want to. He backed out."
In the past, Bobby Lashley has even expressed a desire to get into a program with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. While the new version is far away from how the original faction was intended to be, perhaps the All Mighty is still interested.
