Jacob “The Samoan Werewolf” Fatu has become one of the monstrous members of the Bloodline in WWE. Since arriving in the company, he has proved to be a force to reckon with for his opponents. However, his achievements have created tensions in the factions especially between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa.

Solo Sikoa became the new leader of The Bloodline after Roman Reigns lost his title at WrestleMania XL in 2024. He brought in the remaining members like Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and eventually Jacob Fatu as the newest members. Unfortunately, this soon led to problems between him and the newcomer as Jacob Fatu has already achieved titles in WWE. On the other hand, Solo Sikoa is yet to achieve anything significant as the leader of the faction, having failed in all his attempts so far.

Will Jacob Fatu become the downfall of Solo Sikoa?

Jacob Fatu originally debuted in SmackDown as the “enforcer” of Solo Sikoa’s version of The Bloodline. He even went on to become the WWE Tag Team Champions with Tama Tonga. However, he had to relinquish his title to Tonga Loa so that he could go back to being the enforcer. This first planted the seed of dissatisfaction with the faction leader in him. However, he again proved his skills by making WrestleMania debut and becoming the United States Champion as per the WWE official site.

Solo Sikoa, on the other hand, has been less successful in the main roster. He was the enforcer of the original Bloodline from 2022 to 2024. However, since becoming the new leader, he has failed to win significant matches. He also lost the Ula Fala to Roman Reigns on January 6, 2025. This finally started trouble between Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.

Jacob Fatu will potentially turn heel on Solo Sikoa in the future. He might consider Solo Sikoa to be a weakling and banish him from The Bloodline. This might turn Solo Sikoa back into a babyface for the first-time since his NXT days.

Jacob Fatu’s Future in the WWE

Jacob Fatu might find himself in three possible directions based on the WWE creative team. He might declare himself to be the new leader of The Bloodline alongside Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa (when he returns from injury).

The second option is Jacob Fatu might decide to walk away from The Bloodline. He would want to go his own way in the WWE. This might lead to a possibility of Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker approaching him and asking him to join their faction. Notably, he and Bron Breakker both can grow under the tutelage of Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman and become two of the best stars in the future. This is the road that the WWE creative team should be taking.

The third road is Jacob Fatu becoming a singles wrestler without any faction as the United States Champion. He might event portray being a tweener (neither babyface nor heel) in this role.
