After a jacked-up Saturday night at the Home of Philadelphia Eagles went down to history, the bar has been set high for the final and more exciting WrestleMania Night 2 to take over the crowd flocked at The Linc. Heading to the much-awaited extravaganza, all eyes are fixed on the epic Roman Reigns-Cody Rhodes saga, and for good reason. With The Rock and Roman Reigns claiming victory over the American Nightmare and The Visionary last night, the Bloodline Rules Stipulation becomes inevitable.

Now it begs the only question: Is real-life Bloodline member Jacob Fatu joining forces to make Cody Rhodes’ ride a tougher nut to crack?

To answer the question, we must refer to the recent rumblings swirling over the wrestling fraternity suggesting the 31-year-old top free agent, Jacob Fatu, might jump ship to WWE at the soonest. The idea emerged from a report divulging that the former MLW World Heavyweight Champion Jacob Fatu told his acquaintances about his private WWE signing befalling this past week. As a consequence, Fatu was even pulled from a scheduled GCW appearance on Saturday.

However, despite the buzz, official WWE sources haven’t yet confirmed anything about this. Fatu himself also refrained from giving closure, leaving ample space for questioning the authenticity of the news.

However, if this is legit the case, a grand WrestleMania debut tonight sounds compelling.

Will Jacob Fatu’s possible WrestleMania debut make sense at all?

Jacob Fatu carries the pro wrestling legacy in his blood, being both cousin to WWE’s Usos and the son of The Tonga Kid. After mastering the pro-wrestling basics under Uncle Rikishi, Jacob Fatu kick-started his storied pro-wrestling career back in 2012. He wrestled in several promotions for a couple of years or so before reaching his real potential under the MLW ring in 2019. He rose to the top of his game by capturing the promotion’s world title in July of that year by knocking down Tom Lawlor and eventually reached the end of his tenure in February. Now, it seems he’s WWE-bound.

If Triple H really signed him and kept it under wraps, tonight’s Bloodline-dominated main event would be an immaculate scaffold to launch him to bring some extra chaos to the fore. Injecting an extra shoulder also might be another good plan to make Cody Rhodes’ potential win look bigger than ever.
