Jacob Fatu’s WWE Debut: A New Era for Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline 2.0 on SmackDown

Jacob Fatu, the third Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline 2.0 member, has finally made his WWE SmackDown debut. Fatu provides an impressive showcasing in the SmackDown main event, attacking Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, and Randy Orton with viciousness. This was maybe the worst WWE superstar introduction in recent memory.

Jacob Fatu, the late Samoan wrestler Umaga and the WWE icon Rikishi’s nephew had been waiting months for his debut. Although he had signed a contract with WWE in April 2024, little was known about him. However, Jacob Fatu eventually made his appearance on SmackDown this week. 

Fans hail Jacob Fatu’s iconic debut

Social media users were quick to post their reactions to Fatu’s debut, and they were all quite positive. “HOLY SHIT, THEY GOT JACOB,” a fan wrote. “He did more in 5 minutes than the entire bloodline has done Post-Wrestlemania 40,” another person commented. “And that’s how you reveal the next member of The Bloodline!” wrote a third. There is a werewolf out there!

A section of fans also said that Fatu even overshadowed Solo Sikoa. This was an apprehension even before Fatu’s debut, and there were reports that Jacob Fatu’s debut was delayed as his aura could undermine Sikoa’s charisma, who is the current leader of Bloodline 2.0. 

A fan wrote, “The real tribal chief, Lmao Solo, looks so non-menacing next to him.” Another said, “He already out-of-aura’d Solo.”

Who is Jacob Fatu?

Additionally, several followers claimed that Fatu even eclipsed Solo Sikoa. This was a concern even prior to Jacob Fatu’s entrance, and rumors circulated that the reason for the delay was that Fatu’s aura might detract from the charisma of Sikoa, the current Bloodline 2.0 leader. 

“The real tribal chief, Lmao Solo, looks so non-menacing next to him,” a fan commented. “He already out-of-aura’d Solo,” said a second.

His most well-known accomplishment was winning the MLW National Openweight Championship once during his tenure in the organization. He has also held the title of MLW world heavyweight champion for the longest. According to his uncle Rikishi, Fatu was a free agent after leaving MLW on February 3.

Experts believe that the 32-year-old Anoa’i wrestler can outperform all of the Bloodline’s current newcomers. He is powerful, well-built, and has an aura reminiscent of his uncle Umaga and the late WWE star.  It will be interesting to watch what Jacob Fatu decides to pursue in the upcoming SmackDown weeks.
