“Been Paying Their Dues”: Roman Reigns’ Cousin Jacob Fatu Elevated by WWE Legend Ahead of His Rumored New Bloodline Debut Alongside Tama Tonga

After Roman Reigns lost the title bout, The Bloodline surprised everyone by adding a new member to the stable. Tama Tonga’s addition was unexpected, even for many fans who had predicted his WWE debut. However, there are speculations that The Bloodline will continue adding new blood to the faction, possibly resulting in a feud in the family itself.

As part of the Samoan wrestling family tree, WWE has many talents to pick from. However, according to WWE veterans, there is one wrestler from the lineage who deserves the next spot in The Bloodline before anyone else.

WWE veterans vouch for Jacob Fatu

Having previously worked in the Stamford-based company, Jacob Fatu ultimately left the workplace shortly after his first on-screen interaction with Roman Reigns. Now, there are rumors of his return to WWE alongside the rumors of Zilla Fatu‘s debut in the leading wrestling promotion. After Mark Henry pitched the idea of Zilla joining The Bloodline on the Busted Open podcast, his co-host had other opinions.

Bully Ray presented a counterpoint to Henry and said, “He [Jacob Fatu] is still new and he’s still young. Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga, they’ve been paying their dues.” The WWE veteran further added, “They got some seasoning under their belt. Zilla still needs to be developed.”

According to these former WWE superstars, there is a possibility that The Tribal Chief will form a new ‘Bloodline’ including The Usos while Solo Sikoa takes over the old one with the help of Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu, and probably more wrestlers that we don’t know yet.

A WWE legend also teased that Jacob Fatu could be the first wrestler to join WWE among other Samoan talents who are already rumored to appear.

Jacob Fatu’s presence in WWE gets a green light from his cousin

Rikishi sat down to discuss the pro wrestling industry on his podcast in an episode several days before WrestleMania XL. When asked about his opinion about which Samoan wrestler could get the opportunity to join WWE next, Rikishi had a clear answer. First, he went through the rumored names of Jacob and Zilla Fatu and immediately confessed that Jacob should be the one to join the leading wrestling promotion first.

According to the WWE legend, this is because the free agent has got what it takes to fill the shoes that The Bloodline would require him to. Since Jacob Fatu has been in the industry for around a decade now, Rikishi believes the ex-WWE star is ready for a comeback.
