In the days leading up to WrestleMania 40, several insiders talked about signing the former MLW World Heavyweight Championship with the Stamford-based promotion. Many believed that Jacob Fatu would debut to help Reigns at the Showcase of the Immortals. Or, perhaps, in the post-WrestleMania RAW. But that did not happen.

Subsequently, there was talk of his possible debut in the episodes dedicated to the WWE Draft, but, even in that case, the Samoan was not even seen. While his brothers Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa have joined the Bloodline and have even started establishing themselves, nobody knows when Fatu will finally make his WWE appearance. But now, we finally have an update on that front.

In the latest edition of the Fightful Wrestling Podcast, Kate Elizabeth and Alexis Cardoza discussed the latest edition of Friday Night SmackDown and all other news surrounding the WWE. And a major mystery surrounding the company and its top faction, The Bloodline, is: when will the company make Jacob Fatu finally make a debut?

The Samoan has been signed with the company for a long time but has yet to make an appearance. Well, according to Elizabeth, this could be related to the current Bloodline storyline, as they are adding multiple layers before Fatu finally makes his appearance. As she said, “We still haven’t seen Jacob Fatu. I don’t know what the holdup is there. But there are still more layers of this that are on the way. It just kind of feels like we’re taking baby steps to get there.”

Cardoza further added that he believes the debut will come real soon. He said, “For sure, yeah. I don’t know; we’ll see. I mean they they’re gonna have to have something super-planned. Should be coming real soon.” The layers mentioned by Elizabeth could be that the WWE is trying to set up a proper Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa feud when the Tribal Chief returns.
