Paul “Triple H” Levesque has been in charge of the WWE regime since 2024 as the Chief Content Officer alongside CEO Nick Khan. The duo has taken the sports entertainment juggernaut to greater heights than before and is building some of the newest talents into top-tier WWE superstars.
A major prospect that has emerged in recent memory is Jacob Fatu. The man known as the Samoan Werewolf and coming from the lineage of the Anoa’i Family made a name for himself outside WWE and then made his debut for the company on SmackDown last year.
Jacob Fatu was positioned as the personal Enforcer of the then-Tribal Chief of the New Bloodline, Solo Sikoa. However, ever since Solo lost the moniker, Jacob Fatu has been pushed as a singles star on the blue brand and no longer the wall of protection for Sikoa, with WWE possibly building towards a new rivalry in the Bloodline saga.
Jacob Fatu’s top reactions from fans could lead to a feud with heel star Solo Sikoa
Solo Sikoa broke away from the shadow of Roman Reigns after WrestleMania 40 and formed his own Bloodline, comprising Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. Sikoa looked to capture the entire landscape much like Reigns did, but his plans failed on the debut edition of RAW on Netflix, which featured multiple stars and celebrities.
He lost the Tribal Combat match to Roman Reigns and the Ula-Fala. Solo Sikoa disappeared for a few weeks, and during that time, Jacob Fatu began to be pushed as a top singles star after he decided to take matters into his own hands following Sikoa’s failure.
Moreover, his unmatched charisma, athleticism, and dominant showing in the ring have begun to garner loud reactions from fans every week on WWE television programming. But the entire storyline was flipped with the return of Solo Sikoa two weeks on SmackDown.
On the latest edition of SmackDown, Jacob Fatu confronted the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes in the ring, who was assaulted by Solo Sikoa upon his return. As Sikoa was seen reaching the building, Rhodes began to charge towards him, but Jacob Fatu stopped him in his tracks opting to do it himself first.
If it’s gonna be anyone speaking to Solo, it’s gonna be me first. I need to handle some family business first.

Jacob Fatu’s words garnered a huge pop from the fans, which is the case each week. This could be the perfect time for Triple H to turn Fatu into a babyface and position him for a captivating storyline with his former Tribal Chief, setting up the clash of two dominant Samoan stars.
Solo Sikoa unintentionally caused Jacob Fatu a huge opportunity
Jacob Fatu confronted Solo Sikoa in the locker room backstage. Solo had all the praise for his former Enforcer and wanted him to do what he couldn’t. Moreover, he stated that he wanted to see Jacob Fatu emerge victorious in the 2025 Men’s Elimination Chamber qualifying match.
The match was scheduled for the main event as a triple-threat bout between Jacob Fatu, Braun Strowman, and Damien Priest. The match was a dominant display of in-ring action between powerful competitors in the ring. However, it was a chaotic end to the bout.
Solo Sikoa interfered and attacked Braun Strowman on behalf of Jacob Fatu. However, things began to escalate between them at ringside, which led to Damien Priest taking down Fatu and Cody Rhodes emerging to throw hands with Solo. This led to Priest capitalizing on the moment and putting Braun Strowman with the South of Haven Chokeslam to qualify for the match.

This edition of SmackDown was a huge hint of a potential feud between Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu. All Triple H and his regime need is to pull the trigger on Jacob’s babyface turn to position against the heel Solo Sikoa, which could be an exciting feud heading into WrestleMania 41.
