Jacob Fatu was one protagonist of the penultimate episode of Friday Night SmackDown. The wrestler of Samoan descent made a flawless debut in WWE, surprising fans with a brutal assault on Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens to join the new The Bloodline, led by Solo Sikoa. Despite the former MLW World Heavyweight champion designation as The Enforcer of The Bloodline, a wrestling legend thinks he poses the most threat to Roman Reigns.

Fatu has more than a decade of experience on the independent circuit, being considered by a wide sector of fans as one of the most talented Samoan fighters of his generation. But it’s not just fans who have surrendered to his talent. Colleagues have praised him for his work too. This is the case of Matt Hardy. In the most recent episode of his podcast, The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, he shared his opinion on the new WWE signing. The WWE legend praised Jacob Fatu and how he is an exciting signing for the WWE. Since his addition to the Bloodline, the faction is actually looking like a genuine threat. This aspect was lacking before his entry into the WWE, as fans often criticized the new version of the group for looking less intimidating.

But now that the Samoan Werewolf is here, he’s all up to changing things. In fact, he will have a major role to play against Roman Reigns in the group’s future fight. While talking about the major impact that Fatu could have on the Bloodline, The Broken One revealed that he believes that Fatu can be the one to pin The Tribal Chief. The one who could end the dominance of the Tribal Chief. It takes one to be actually that intimidating and savage to match the level of Reigns. Getting Reigns defeated by other talent would only further hurt the brand.

He said, “But I just think, I think the new Bloodline, especially since Jacob Fatu has joined has really got a ton of momentum. And I think they can be threats and seem dangerous. Like they are the people that could stop Roman Reigns in the future. And that’s that’s what you need. You need someone who seems like they are a very credible heel threat that can put an end to Roman. And then you need Roman to overcome that.”

The Bloodline has already started to reap the benefits of Fatu’s explosive debut after he played a pivotal part in securing the win at the Money in the Bank PLE.

Jacob Fatu becomes the catalyst for The Bloodline’s victory at Money in the Bank

After contributing to Solo Sikoa’s recent coup d’état in The Bloodline, Jacob Fatu fought in his first PLE in WWE. As this weekend, his faction went head-to-head against the team of Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens at Money in the Bank. And he surely shined as the standout talent in the ring. Earning praise from the fans as well as critics. So it wouldn’t be surprising if the WWE even decides to push Fatu more than Sikoa and make him the new leader instead.
