Jacob Fatu has been a big name in MLW in recent years and has always been linked to The Bloodline because of his family ties. So it was no wonder when the WWE decided to hire the talent as soon as his contract with the promotion expired. After all, Fatu is surely a scary man.
Part of the renowned Anoa’i family, a wrestling dynasty that includes the likes of The Rock, Roman Reigns, and the Usos, Fatu has proven to be a standout talent in his own right, known for his impressive agility and power, especially notable given his size and his ability to still hit aerial moves.
A trait that would gain massive appreciation from his brothers in the bloodline. But do you know that he has also gotten the opportunity to show his strength outside the ring? Well, that actually did happen. And not in a good way. A clip of Fatu resurfaced where it showed the former MLW star attacking a fan who dared to get closer to the action in the squared circle.

In a recent post uploaded on Instagram by @yepilw, a clip of Jacob Fatu from his Indies run can be seen where a fan reportedly crossed the line by verbally assaulting Fatu. And the Samoan star did not take it lightly at all. He simply approached the fan, who, too, was ready for a fight. But all it took was a single punch from Fatu to knock his opponent out, who looked the same size as him! Fatu then followed it up with some kicks and threw a chair at him for good measure. It truly shows that, in the end, wrestlers are humans just like us, and even if they play heels, they would not appreciate it if fans crossed the line.

As for him joining the Bloodline, that seems to be the most possible scenario.

Despite signing for the company a long time ago, he has yet to make his debut for the Stamford-based promotion. Probably SummerSlam would prove to be the PLE where he makes his presence known and joins his brothers in ruling the promotion.
WWE knows how to stretch the gum of The Bloodline’s story. After the defeat of Roman Reigns, an atmosphere of controversy has been generated in the group because it seems that no one is currently the leader. Paul Heyman has been a fundamental piece in this whole network, as he has publicly acknowledged that his calls to Roman Reigns were false. That also opens the door for The Rock or someone else to be in charge. With Solo Sikoa taking the reins and fresh faces popping up to wreak havoc on SmackDown, we will have to wait and see how Jacob Fatu fares in the promotion. What do you think of the resurfaced clip involving Fatu? Let us know in the comments.
