This week’s SmackDown showcased an enraged Bloodline on a destructive rampage. Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga attempted to dismantle Jimmy Uso and the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes in a chaotic brawl. However, the clash ended with former United States Champion LA Knight stepping in and forcefully ejecting Fatu from the arena.

The chaotic brawl that kicked off SmackDown left GM Nick Aldis struggling to maintain order. As Fatu attempted to attack security, Knight intervened, shoving the Bloodline member and forcefully ejecting him from the arena. Knight took it a step further by locking Fatu out, leaving the SmackDown GM visibly impressed by the former champion’s bold actions.

However, by getting involved in The Bloodline’s business, Knight only set himself up for more trouble. During his match with Shinsuke Nakamura, The Samoan Werewolf attacked the former United States Champion, reigniting a chaotic brawl on SmackDown. This confrontation has fueled speculation about a potential feud between Fatu and Knight in the near future.

Last night’s SmackDown was dominated by Jacob Fatu. The 32-year-old not only opened the show but also played a key role in the main event, securing a victory over Jimmy and Rhodes. With Solo Sikoa set to return to SmackDown next week, it will be intriguing to see how The Bloodline’s storyline continues to evolve.

Is WWE setting up Jacob Fatu for a singles run on SmackDown?

Jacob Fatu has quickly made a name for himself since debuting in WWE in June 2024. He has faced top stars like Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Roman Reigns, providing them with strong competition. With the downfall of the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief, Solo Sikoa, WWE could look to push Fatu on a singles path moving forward.

Interestingly, The Samoan Werewolf received significant exposure on SmackDown, including a backstage promo ahead of his main event match. Given the current direction, WWE may be considering a singles push for Fatu on the road to WrestleMania. Before The Rock’s intervention, Fatu was originally slated to face Reigns in Sin City.

This suggests a high-profile match for Fatu could be on the horizon. Rumors are swirling that he might turn on Solo Sikoa next week on SmackDown. If that happens, it could set the stage for an epic WrestleMania showdown between the two. Overall, Fatu’s future looks promising, with 2025 shaping up to be a breakthrough year for him.
