The latest WWE signee, Jacob Fatu, who debuted on last week’s edition of SmackDown, has already caught the attention of both wrestling veterans and fans. Highly anticipated since April, Fatu finally made his mark in the promotion with a memorable debut.
On last week’s WWE SmackDown, Cody Rhodes faced Solo Sikoa in a match that quickly turned into chaos. The Bloodline members, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, interfered and attacked Rhodes. This prompted Randy Orton and Kevin Owens to come to Rhodes’ aid. The unlikely trio of Rhodes, Orton, and Owens managed to take down The Bloodline, focusing their attention on Solo Sikoa.
Out of nowhere, Jacob Fatu emerged during the SmackDown brawl, delivering a brutal assault on all three superstars. He laid out Kevin Owens with a devastating Samoan drop onto the steel steps, followed by a spear to Randy Orton against the barricades. Finally, he had his destructive debut with a diving headbutt that sent Cody Rhodes crashing through the announce table.
Fans had been eagerly awaiting Jacob Fatu’s WWE television debut for months. Now, following his impressive arrival, fans online are showering him with praise. Additionally, he’s reportedly received special words of encouragement from WWE’s chief content officer, Triple H.
Triple H calls Jacob Fatu a ‘Game Changer’
WWE’s chief content officer, Triple H, who recently appeared on the Pat McAfee Show, referred to Jacob Fatu as a game changer after his debut. He stated, “When you talk about Tribal Chief, you’re talking about Roman Reigns, no matter who lays claim to that now. You see the Bloodline carrying on. You see Solo putting himself out there as the Tribal Chief. You see Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa coming in. You see those guys starting to run wild. Then, the game changer happens of Jacob Fatu coming in. He’s a game changer. You very clearly see that shift of ‘we’re running the show now. This is the new Tribal Chief. This is the new Head of the Table.'”
With this much attention and praise, what role will Fatu play within The Bloodline? Will he cause further chaos, or will he solidify their dominance within The Bloodline?
