Smackdown Segment Earns Jacob Fatu “Most Athletic Samoan” Moniker Ahead of SummerSlam

Jacob Fatu didn’t slack during his debut in WWE and has since been a force that nobody on the roster would like to face willingly. He is the new Bloodline’s ultimate weapon against anyone who dares to stand in their way and they have made it clear several times. On SmackDown, 07/12, Fatu’s feat of strength and athleticism impressed many.

Even a wrestling world veteran, Tommy Dreamer thinks highly of the Samoan wrestler. He appreciated the way Fatu wrestles in the ring, especially given his weight and overall size.

Jacob Fatu’s wrestling prowess gets the seal of approval from Tommy Dreamer

The Bloodline arrived at the end of the last Friday Night show where they started beating up the WWE Tag Team Champions. Jacob Fatu was the first one to warm up by showing the champions the way out of the ring. Standing alone, he took care of two wrestlers at once with an incredible show of athleticism. During the Busted Open Podcast, Tommy Dreamer said, “He is super athletic. I think he could be the most athletic Samoan out there. I mean, we’ve seen just spurts of it and we saw a whole bunch of it with devastation last night, which is key when you do cool moves.”

He also added, “Jacob is an amazing wrestler, and he definitely made his presence, and they are building him. He’s exactly what this new bloodline has needed.” Dreamer is right. He did make his presence known on SmackDown with his attack on the WWE Tag Team champions and the subsequent segment. His rampage against DIY didn’t last long as he was eventually interrupted by the rest of The Bloodline, who wanted to deliver a promo. However, it continued again after Cody Rhodes made an appearance in front of the crowd to call out the heel stable. This segment also featured a botch that fans did not let slide.

When Cody Rhodes arrived, he challenged the rogue Bloodline to face him right away. The five team members quickly surrounded him in the ring. Rhodes survived the first few minutes with the heels out of luck, but then he was overpowered. This is when Randy Orton entered the scene to even the odds. However, even he was soon overpowered by the rest of the crew. What happened next is something that undid the aura that Jacob Fatu had created in the blue brand that night.

Tama Tonga unleashed a wave of punches agaist Orton while the latter was lying on the mat. This is when Tonga Loa swooped in and moved his brother, trying to lay some beating on him. However, as soon as he reached into position, his fist turned into a palm, and instead, he tapped The Viper’s back. This invited several humiliating responses from wrestling fans who were watching the show. While this is not the first time that he has done this, the viewers may be more bothered by it because it canceled the ruthless streak that Jacob Fatu was seemingly on.
