WWE SmackDown's landscape changed yet again during the latest episode when Jacob Fatu made his much-awaited debut. He entered the ring to save Solo Sikoa from Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, and Cody Rhodes and demolished all three babyfaces. Fatu marks Solo Sikoa's third recruitment in The Bloodline.
After Fatu channeled his chaotic energy into destroying Orton, Rhodes, and Owens, he shared a hug with The Enforcer. At the same time, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa entered the ring to share the moment with the Anoa'i cousins. However, Loa seemed to be giving Fatu the side-eye, hinting at a potential betrayal.
Sikoa is focused on making the new Bloodline as ruthless as possible. The Tongan recruits had been doing an excellent job at ensuring the vision remains intact. Now, Fatu may have interfered to save his cousin, but it's possible he doesn't have the complete picture of what Solo is really up to.
Once the latest addition to the faction realizes the acting Tribal Chief's real intentions, he might attempt to leave The Bloodline or try working with others to take down his cousin, while being a mole in the group.
Considering Sikoa knows how much family and blood relations are valued within The Anoa'i Family, The Enforcer may have already hatched a plan to have Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa turn on Fatu once the latter's work with The Bloodline is over. This can allow WWE to avoid the possibility of Fatu overshadowing Sikoa and ensure Roman Reigns has someone in his corner once he returns to WWE.
Despite what Solo Sikoa says to Paul Heyman about Roman Reigns not returning, fans aren't buying it. That The Tribal Chief must return to save The Bloodline and The Wiseman is the general consensus of the WWE Universe.
How is Solo Sikoa related to Jacob Fatu?
Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu belong to the legendary Anoa'i family. Some of the famous pro-wrestlers from the family are Afa Anoa'i, Sika Anoa'i, Rikishi, The Tonga Kid, The Rock, Roman Reigns, and The Usos, among others.
Rikishi and Sam Fatu (aka The Tonga Kid) are brothers. Their father's name is Afoa Anoa'i. Solo Sikoa is Rikishi's son and Jacob Fatu is The Tonga Kid's son. Hence, Sikoa and Fatu are first cousins.
On the other hand, Roman Reigns is Fatu's first cousin once removed. It remains to be seen whether any more members of the famous wrestling family follow Jacob Fatu and the others into WWE anytime soon, as The Bloodline saga rolls on.
