The Bloodline has seen a resurgence on WWE RAW since Roman Reigns won the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 42. The newest official member of the faction is Jacob Fatu.
Fatu had challenged Reigns for the World Heavyweight Title first at Backlash and then again at Clash in Italy, in a Tribal Combat match in a desperate bid to become champion. After losing both times, he acknowledged his Tribal Chief and became the latest member of the faction. However, he has not seen eye to eye with The Usos.
Thanks for the submission!
Jey and Jimmy Uso expected Fatu to follow their orders as well. However, that seems far from the case, with The Samoan Werewolf very clear that he only listens to the OTC. Amidst the tensions within the group, real-life Bloodline member and The Usos’ father Rikishi took to Instagram with a heartfelt message for his nephew, Jacob.
Seen standing alongside his twin brother, the former Tonga Kid, and the latter’s son, Jacob Fatu, Rikishi praised his nephew for seeking advice from him and his father before WrestleMania. The veteran talked about The Samoan Werewolf’s humility and strong family bonds, which play an integral part in his inherent success.
“Jake [Jacob Fatu] prioritizes family, seeking advice from his father TK and me before WrestleMania 42, showcasing his humility and strong family bonds that fuel his success, which makes me extremely proud. #wrestlemania42 #FATU #JacobFATU #Samoanwerewolf #wwe @werewolf_fatu 🩸☝🏾🔐,” Rikishi wrote.
Jacob Fatu fined for his actions on WWE RAW
On the June 15 episode of Monday Night RAW, Roman Reigns officially welcomed Jacob Fatu into The Bloodline. He presented Fatu with a brown Ula Fala, and The Samoan Werewolf acknowledged his Tribal Chief, also making it clear that he only follows the OTC’s orders, much to The Usos’ trepidation, especially Main Event Jey.
When they were on their way out, Roman Reigns shared a moment with celebrity Eric Andre, who was in the audience. Andre then touched Fatu’s Ula Fala, which made all hell break loose. With The Usos left shocked, The Samoan Werewolf brutally attacked Andre. He was also egged on by The Tribal Chief, much to RAW GM Adam Pearce’s despair.
Now Pearce has confirmed that he has fined Fatu for his heinous actions on the red brand. This week on the show, Pearce confirmed to LA Knight, who had several complaints about The Bloodline, that Jacob Fatu had not gotten away with his actions and had been handed a huge fine for attacking the celebrity guest.
With Jey Uso in the final of The King of the Ring Tournament and Solo Sikoa likely showing up on the red brand again, it remains to be seen what drama ensues next in The Bloodline Saga.
