WWE has been going all out on Jacob Fatu to build him into the next big star. Days after debuting on the main roster, he achieved his first championship gold on SmackDown. Last week, he even stood tall against a star like Roman Reigns. Now, WWE has booked yet another mega match of the Samoan Werewolf amid the reports of his injury.

WWE has announced that Jacob Fatu will be teaming up with Tama Tonga to defend the Tag Team Championships against Street Profits. Even though Tanga Loa was defending the titles during live events, the Samoan Werewolf is scheduled to be in action. Even after being penciled out for a few weeks due to a speculated injury sustained at SummerSlam.

It shows the aspirations WWE has for the 32-year-old. Moreover, there were even reports of him going up against Roman Reigns. His antics on this week’s SmackDown were wild as he drove even the ‘Original Tribal Chief’ into disarray. It signifies the prominent role he is going to play in the Bloodline Saga moving forward.

Furthermore, the Bloodline is going to take on one of the best tag teams in WWE right now, Street Profits. The latter won the opportunity this past week against DIY. It is going to be keen to watch how the match is going to play out. The Head of the Table must have something in his mind after the crooked Bloodline of Solo Sikoa usurped the throne and kicked him away for good.

Booker T heaps heavy praise on Jacob Fatu

Jacob Fatu has been impressing a lot of people with his work. He made his debut in June and has been making an impact every single week. With such a high-caliber performance, he is destined to get high praise as well. Recently, WWE veteran Booker T talked about the Samoan Werewolf following SmackDown.

Speaking on the Hall of Fame podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer said that Fatu deserves success and praise. He added that the 32-year-old has worked for this position. It took a long way for him to get to this main event storytelling in the sports entertainment giant, and there is only one way up for him from here on, said Booker T.

He's willing to work for it. That's what I appreciate about this kid, he's worked so freaking hard to get to this position. It took going through those trials and tribulations to make it, but I think if not for those trials and tribulations he would not understand what this truly means today

Before making his debut, there were a few concerns that Jacob might outshine Sikoa. That became a reality as he finally became the most dangerous Samoan in this new Bloodline. That being said, he has a lot of challenges against him in terms of WWE programming. He is considered the future of the Bloodline Saga by many. Therefore, it is turning out to be captivating to see his rise in this regime.
