Former MLW World Champion Jacob Fatu made his WWE debut tonight on Friday Night SmackDown. During the main event, he attacked Cody Rhodes to defend his brother, Solo Sikoa, in the ring. Sikoa and Rhodes were having a match, but it was interrupted by the interference of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, who attacked the WWE champion. Randy Orton and Kevin Owens showed up and helped the American Nightmare clean up the ring and leave Sikoa all alone, like prey between predators.
The Tribal Heir cowered from the advance of the three and retreated into a corner with a terrified look. But from one moment to the next, his face changed as he started smiling as Jacob Fatu came out viciously to leave Orton and Owens without a chance to respond. Even breaking a barricade with the Canadian’s body. Fatu took Rhodes to ringside and punished him against the fences and the ground. The former MLW wrestler also broke the commentary table after diving on Rhodes off the ring corner.
With such an exciting debut, the WWE Universe is excited to know what’s next for the Bloodline. And it seems like we finally have a clue. As Rikishi has now given a major update, hinting toward a new addition to the group.

Fans are elated about the possibility of Zilla Fatu’s entry into WWE
After a decidedly troubled adolescence, which saw him end up in prison several times, Zilla Fatu began his adventure in the world of wrestling. Until now, he has wrestled in several independent promotions, including Game Changer Wrestling, where he has performed alongside Jacob Fatu, the new WWE debutant. So fans were surely thrilled to guess that it would be Fatu who could be joining the faction!

In an interview, Zilla Fatu earlier revealed his interest in being a part of the Stamford-based promotion. He revealed that the WWE was his main focus. And that’s because his family has had a long history with the promotion. That is the reason behind him not wanting to join AEW, as he does not want to be the first Fatu or Anoaʻi to go to All Elite Wrestling. And these fans wants the same as the wrestler!

While some believed that either it could be the Tonga twins, or Hikuleo who could join the faction. As Hikuleo has wrapped things up with NJPW and could very well be on his way to the Stamford-based promotion.
Hikuleo.
