Jacob Fatu's reaction to Cody Rhodes' beatdown—Genuine shock or just playing to the crowd?

The Bloodline storyline is reaching a peak with the boys scoring another landslide victory over Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens on SmackDown tonight. Cody Rhodes got his first dose of Bloodline a few weeks back when Jacob Fatu made an iconic debut to protect Solo Sikoa from the babyface trio of Rhodes, Kevin Owens, and Randy Orton. This worked as a huge confidence booster for Sikoa, so he again dared to get on the nerves of the American Nightmare last week.

However, they specifically targeted and harmed the Viper in the process, as he rushed to aid Rhodes in front of a multi-men assault. The American Nightmare kick-started tonight’s show with the much-needed address of the Bloodline attack on Orton. But all of these protests went in vain as team Sikoa again knocked him down. But the one that stirred the internet most is how Jacob Fatu immediately reacted to the segment on live TV and how Tonga Loa made a hilarious botch.

The way WWE built up the momentum of the faction on the road to SummerSlam is freaking awesome! Destroying every ally of Cody Rhodes, allowing space for Jimmy Uso’s return, is a class story to vest money on. Also, it displays Jacob Fatu’s unfathomable power to rise above any enemy with his vigor. Tonight, when Solo Sikoa warned everyone in the division not to be on Rhodes’ side in his match against the A Town Down Under, noting if they did, they would invite the Bloodline attack. However, Kevin Owens got to go with Rhodes and picked up a victory, something they couldn’t even relish. When Owens and Rhodes were interacting with the crowd after the match went down in a jovial mood, Bloodline popped up out of nowhere, inflicting chaos.

Rhodes and Ko were handling things pretty smoothly till Jacob Fatu showed up. Fatu brutalized Owens with multiple hip attacks and flying headbutts. Bloodline Shield Bomb Rhodes & wrapped up the action, putting a chair around KO’s head before pushing it into the ring post. While Rhodes was on the victim board, Fatu made a weird face gesture and fans can’t just unsee it.

Jacob Fatu and Tonga Loa’s hilarious reaction initiated a laughing spree 

Fatu is the master of sending chills down the spine of anyone. The former MLW champion has established himself as a dangerous fighter inside and outside of WWE. The popular theory also suggested that the company was initially in denial of his Bloodline entry as they feared it could outshine the grace of Solo Sikoa. They were not quite wrong as we are already seeing Fatu snatching all the spotlight on him. Making a face about Rhodes’ beatdown only spoke about what a skilled actor and entertainer he is.

Have an interesting take?

The second highlight of the internet discussion was Tonga Loa, who was seen rubbing his eyes a lot. Netizens see it as a crying botch as he always does and refer to him once again by his infamous internet nickname, Botcha Loa.

To mention a recent instance of Loa screwing things up, we need to go back to a Money in the Bank segment. Where the Tangoan superstar accidentally fumbled while delivering a low blow to Kevin Owens, leading the audience to roll out in laughter. Although he ultimately executed the task afterward, the initial miss of the punch made a monkey out of him, something the fans didn’t forget till date.
