Booker-T recently appeared in an interview on the Reality of Wrestling YouTube channel, discussing RAW’s move to Netflix and the upcoming Royal Rumble. The video, uploaded on January 26th, also featured Booker-T talking about the talented Jacob Fatu from the legendary Anoa’i family. During the interview with Brab Gilmore, a fan asked Booker-T about Jacob Fatu‘s potential arrival in WWE and Booker-T replied positively.

Booker-T expressed his determination, saying, “That’s my game plan, man. I’m working as hard as I possibly can. Let me just say it right now, give a big shout-out to Jacob Fatu. He’s been out there, working his ass off on the NC grinding, you know.

Jacob Fatu, a former two-time MLW World Heavyweight Champion, held the title for a record-breaking 819 days during his first reign. Known for his brutal in-ring style and devastating finisher, the “Samoan Driver,” Fatu is a formidable force. He is part of the legendary Anoa’i family, which includes Roman Reigns and The Usos.

As the leader of Contra Unit, a dominant stable in MLW, Fatu has engaged in memorable feuds and showcased his agility despite his size. At 31, he has the potential to become a major star in professional wrestling, with a growing fan base in MLW and other promotions like AEW.

As per Booker-T’s statement, he is working hard to bring Jacob Fatu to WWE, where his cousins dominate the promotion. Till now, there have been no talks of bringing Jacob Fatu to WWE as the only previous incident involved the usage of his name during a feud between Jey Uso and Roman Reigns.

Despite no concrete talks about Fatu joining WWE yet, Booker-T believes in Fatu’s talent and wants to support him in reaching the next level, stating, “Someone gave me a chance, and look what it did for me. Someone needs to give Jacob Fatu a chance, and I’m going to be working in his corner as his advisor to help him get there, and over it, if we possibly can.

With Booker-T giving such positive comments on Jacob Fatu, is there a chance that a new Bloodline member will debut at Royal Rumble?
