The Bloodline officially grows, shock call out? - 4 things Jacob Fatu could do on WWE SmackDown following destructive debut last week
WWE Friday Night SmackDown last week was an epic show. CM Punk appeared in front of his hometown crowd in Chicago but was ultimately obliterated by Drew McIntyre. Several up-and-coming stars booked their spots in the Money in the Bank ladder matches, which excited fans.
Perhaps the most memorable and notable aspect of SmackDown, however, was the closing segment. Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa went one-on-one, but the match quickly ended when Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa interfered. This led to Randy Orton and Kevin Owens making the save.
What came next left fans in shock. Jacob Fatu made his World Wrestling Entertainment debut in a major way. The Samoan Werewolf brutally assaulted the babyface trio and seemingly joined The Bloodline.
Now all eyes are on the blue brand and what's next for Jacob Fatu. Below are four things Fatu could do on WWE SmackDown following his destructive debut last week.
#4 He could be officially anointed as a member of The Bloodline
The Bloodline has long been one of WWE's most impressive and dominant factions. Roman Reigns was the leader of the stable, but some wonder if The Rock was pulling the strings earlier this year. Regardless, neither man is currently around, meaning a different performer is in charge.
The new Head of the Table is Solo Sikoa. As the apparent leader of the group, he kicked Jimmy Uso out, welcoming Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa to the fold. He even officially anointed both men during a recent episode of WWE SmackDown.
Friday Night SmackDown this week could be when Jacob Fatu is officially anointed and added to The Bloodline. While all signs indicate he'll be added to the group full-time, it isn't official yet.
#3 Fatu could challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship
Cody Rhodes is on top of the world right now. He won the Undisputed WWE Championship from Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. He has since successfully defended the gold against AJ Styles and Logan Paul.
The American Nightmare was among Jacob Fatu's targets last Friday. Fatu dove off of the top rope and sent Rhodes through the announce table. Fans were shocked by the sequence.
Fatu's next goal could be to challenge Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Many fans expect Solo Sikoa to take on Rhodes at SummerSlam, but The Samoan Werewolf could cut in line and challenge The American Nightmare first. Imagine if he were to win the gold immediately upon joining the company. It would be a shocking move.
#2 He could start attacking other SmackDown stars
Jacob Fatu brutalized former Universal Champion Kevin Owens, Cody Rhodes, and Randy Orton, making an emphatic statement.
To lay out three stars of that magnitude in your debut is impressive, but Jacob Fatu's assaults may not end there. In fact, the new WWE star could end up taking out many other performers on the brand.
For example, LA Knight could be a victim of The Samoan Werewolf, given his history with The Bloodline. He might also target a veteran duo like DIY. Regardless of who may be in his crosshairs, Fatu could continue to run roughshod on the roster.
#1 Jacob Fatu could call out Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns was known as The Tribal Chief and The Head Of The Table for the better part of four years as he ran The Bloodline. While the former Undisputed WWE Champion often ruled with an iron fist, he had a level of charm that fans secretly adored.
The Tribal Chief hasn't been seen on TV since losing to Cody Rhodes in the main event. Now that Solo Sikoa has taken over his WWE faction, fans are routinely interrupting his promos with chants of "We want Roman." It is clear what the audience wants, and Jacob Fatu may want the same thing.
There is clearly some level of animosity between Solo and Roman, even if it isn't being addressed. There is a good chance Sikoa won't welcome Reigns back with open arms.
Instead of Roman returning to confront Solo, Jacob Fatu could call out the former Big Dog and challenge him to a fight. This could be what lures the former world champion back to television.
