Jacob Fatu and real-life Bloodline member could headline WrestleMania in the future, says 10-time WWE champion

WWE Superstar Jacob Fatu has sent huge tremors in all directions right from the day of his debut. The Samoan Werewolf has not been bested by any wrestler so far, including The OTC Roman Reigns, on SmackDown. While he already has the attention of the fans, a ten-time WWE champion recently noted that Fatu and another real-life Bloodline member have the caliber to headline WrestleMania in the future. This was Zilla Fatu, who hasn't signed with WWE yet.

Matt Hardy is one of the most legendary superstars the pro wrestling world has ever seen. With ten WWE tag team championship wins under his belt alongside his brother Jeff Hardy, Matt has delivered some of the best performances in tag team wrestling. The latest episode of his The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast saw him praise Jacob Fatu and Zilla Fatu.

The former WWE Superstar noted that while the Samoan wrestling family has produced very gifted wrestlers, Jacob Fatu is in his own league. He also noted that in the upcoming years, The Samoan Werewolf will make use of his rare gifts to become big enough to headline WrestleMania.

“Jacob Fatu, even past that, he's not even there yet. But I'll say Zilla, whenever he shows up, too," Matt Hardy responded when asked who he thought could headline WrestleMania within the next ten years. "[Jacob]'s just, he's got the gift, man. I mean, once again, in that bloodline with the Samoans, being gifted, so gifted athletically, just insanely strong, just so good at what they do. It's just in their blood. It's in their genes and their DNA. Jacob really stands out as he's very, very special. Zilla is going to be special as well. But Jacob Fatu is a rare cat. He's going to go a long way. So, if he can stay healthy and keep it in between the lines, as they say, he's going to do great." [H/T - Fightful]

Cody Rhodes acknowledged Jacob Fatu as his next challenger

This week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown saw Solo Sikoa approach Cody Rhodes to get another shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship. However, the current wielder of the Ula Fala was ignored by The American Nightmare who instead asked Fatu to step up as his challenger.

However, when Sikoa exerted his authority as The Tribal Chief, his personal enforcer stepped away which resulted in Sikoa getting a title rematch inside a Steel Cage next week.

While Solo Sikoa will be getting his rematch, he was visibly surprised to see The Samoan Werewolf actually step up to the ring when Rhodes summoned him. It would be interesting to see how Solo’s title shot goes next week and if Fatu would be able to prove his loyalty like Kevin Owens showed at Bash in Berlin.
