“Unleash the Beast”: Rikishi Teases Triple H’s Plans for Jacob Fatu Debut After Roman Reigns & Bloodline Absence

Jacob Fatu has wrestling in his blood, as the son of The Tonga Kid. He is also the cousin of WWE’s Usos, honing his skills under Uncle before embarking on his professional wrestling journey in 2012. After participating in various promotions, he found his stride in MLW in 2019, where he became the world champion after defeating Tom Lawlor. Recently departing from MLW, he’s now all set to make his mark in WWE.

WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi has just dropped a hint that might lead to the possibility of Jacob Fatu joining WWE. After the recent defeat of the Bloodline’s tribal chief, Roman Reigns, it looks like their cousin is ready to enter WWE as per Triple H’s plans. 

Rikishi hints at Jacob Fatu’s debut in WWE

The 31-year-old Samoan wrestler is set to join WWE. A few days ago, Fightful Select reports suggested that former MLW Heavyweight Champion Jacob Fatu may have signed with WWE, as he was reportedly pulled from a scheduled GCW appearance last Saturday. While WWE officials haven’t confirmed the news, rumors were reportedly discussed backstage at GCW. 

However, it looks like the father of the Uso brothers has opened up about it. Rikishi posted a tweet on X recently. The captions were, “Wait for my lead to Unleash The BEAST.” He posted a picture showcasing Black Pearl, Jacob Fatu, Zilla Fatu, himself & other members of the KnokX Pro Academy in Philadelphia. 

Fatu, who finished up with MLW in February, has been a free agent. The rumors have been around the town before WrestleMania 40. Many fans speculated that he would be helping his cousin Roman Reigns as a surprise entrance to defeat Cody Rhodes. Unfortunately, that did not happen.

Due to this, the WWE Universe was skeptical about his debut. But it looks like Rikishi has dropped a surprising hint for the fans. Triple H seems to have a blockbuster plan in the works for Jacob Fatu, hinting at a thrilling storyline ahead. As per Rikishi’s post, it seems like he is the one leading and will report when Fatu is ready.
