Jacob Fatu made one of the best debuts of the modern era on the latest episode of SmackDown and destroyed Kevin Owens and Randy Orton. But that wasn’t all, as even the Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, felt the wrath of The Samoan Werewolf. The American Nightmare spoke about the beatdown he received from the newest member of The Bloodline.

Cody Rhodes wrestled Shinsuke Nakamura in a singles match for the Undisputed Title at the WWE Supershow in Bloomington, Illinois. He was seen wearing tape around his rib area but managed to defeat The King of Strong Style with a Cross Rhodes. However, The American Nightmare revealed while addressing the crowd that he had broken his two ribs after receiving the beatdown from Jacob Fatu.

On the latest episode of SmackDown, Rhodes came out to save CM Punk from The Bloodline and ended up challenging Solo Sikoa in the main event. However, just as it seemed like The American Nightmare was gaining control of the match, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa attacked him, causing the match to end in disqualification.

It will be intriguing to see what unfolds in the upcoming episode of SmackDown when the champ addresses the Bloodline issue. Fans will be expecting Jacob to bring more chaos to the babyface trio.
