Just a few days ago, reports had suggested that Jacob Fatu’s debut with WWE could take place next week. The possibility that it would even take place on the first night of the 2024 Draft had also come up. However, as is often the case, it seems that plans have changed for Fatu. PWInsider has reported that Jacob Fatu is no longer scheduled to debut as soon as planned. Nevertheless, the plan for him to be a part of history with The Bloodline is still going ahead and WWE wants to carry it all out very meticulously. So what better than initiating a debut at a PLE like Backlash? This could get all eyes on him as soon as he makes his appearance.

Jacob Fatu is already under contract with WWE. So it’s only a matter of time before his long-awaited debut in the company arrives. The story of The Bloodline has progressed considerably in recent weeks with the addition of Tama Tonga. So here are the possible angles that Jacob Fatu could be made a part of when he possibly arrives at WWE Backlash.

The Bloodline has begun a new era after WrestleMania 40. Roman Reigns‘ indefinite absence from WWE’s weekly schedule and Tama Tonga’s debut has changed the entire landscape for the family. Solo Sikoa has taken on a leadership role with Tonga by his side, while Jimmy Uso has been left out after taking a beating from these two. Meanwhile, a frightened Paul Heyman is trying to seek control of the situation. So adding Jacob Fatu into the mix can be really beneficial to the storyline. As he can either be added as a helping hand for Heyman, or a tool to make Sikoa’s Bloodline even stronger.

⁠To help Heyman against Tama Tonga and Solo Sikoa

As we said earlier, Paul Heyman needs severe help to control the ongoing situation with the Bloodline. The absence of The Tribal Chief has plunged the affairs of The Bloodline into uncertainty. So what if the WWE decides to bring Jacob Fatu to help Paul Heyman out? Being a relative of both sides, Fatu can help Heyman and be a mediator between the two Bloodlines. And maybe he can help bring peace between the two sides.

Well, there’s also the chance that Solo Sikoa decides that only his word remains supreme. Once Roman Reigns returns after being done with his other projects, he would want to restore peace in his kingdom and make his Bloodline the only one standing. But Sikoa played a major part in his version of the Bloodline, so maybe Fatu can replace Sikoa in this battle instead. Having Reigns, Jimmy, Jey, and Fatu should be enough to face Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and possibly the man behind it all, The Rock.

What do you think? Could we get to see Tama Tonga face Sikoa anytime soon? Let us know in the comments.
