Unseen Footage Shows Bloodline’s Jacob Fatu Being Snuck Under the Ring During SmackDown Debut

WWE is rolling forward with immense momentum as we head to the latter half of what’s been a glorious 2024 so far. Immediately after the much-awaited Uncle Howdy debut, Triple H pulled in another exciting card from his deck in the form of a high-stake Bloodline addition. Jacob Fatu stepped into the WWE ring with an explosion during the June 21st edition of the Blue brand as we dive deeper into The Bloodline arc.

That said, to execute the dramatic moment, WWE depended on their ever-reliant move of hiding Fatu under the ring ahead of the debut.

There has been a tremendous shift in the Bloodline trajectory ever since the WrestleMania 40 main event. Despite the doom and gloom that engulfed the faction after Roman Reigns‘ loss, the tides have changed now. To eradicate the stale, Triple H inflicted some strategic twists in the faction with the addition of some fresh faces. During a jacked SmackDown show back in April, Tama Tonga made a momentous Bloodline debut with Solo Sikoa unleashing a new face of terror.

The former Right-Hand Man welcomed Tonga into the group and ousted Jimmy Uso immediately, leaving the Wise Man demented in the corner. This was only the beginning. It eventually led to Tonga Loa’s Bloodline debut during Backlash and the formidable trio’s (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa) undisputed rule over the kingdom. As Bloodline 2.0 is expanding, speculation was rife that some more faces, including Jacob Fatu, The Samoan Werewolf, who is already a part of WWE, soon join forces. But a later report suggested that WWE purposely delayed his inclusion in the Bloodline to safeguard the elevating glory of Solo Sikoa at the moment.

However, when the dust settled in temporarily, the 32-year-old stormed from beneath the ring to unleash havoc on Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Kevin Owens to save Sikoa from their clutches. As we dived deeper afterward, a striking off-air segment on Twitter caught our attention where Fatu was escorted to ringside amidst the dark in a cloak on the build-up to his shock assault on the Bloodline’s opponents.

While the formal introduction of Fatu is scheduled for the upcoming SmackDown episode, a minor detail picked up from the show is bulking large.

Will Jacob Fatu turn on Solo Sikoa?

While WWE launched Fatu to help Solo Sikoa in the forefront, an unforeseen twist could ensue. Wrestling veteran Bully Ray noticed that when Fatu took out the likes of The Viper, Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens, the Tribal Chief in power gave him a warm hug in return as a token of gratitude. But quite shockingly, Fatu didn’t hug him back, leaving ample space for the ‘outshining’ speculation. Ray pointed out that Solo told The Wise Main that Roman Reigns was not coming back. But he wonders if he will send over the Samoan Werewolf on his behalf to inflict revenge. If that materializes, it will be certainly detrimental to Sikoa’s rising momentum.

It will be fun to see where the ever-evolving storyline leads next, following a big Money in the Bank six-man tag-team match. What’s your take on WWE hiding Jacob Fatu beneath the ring ahead of his stupendous Bloodline debut? Let us know in the comments.
