Jacob Fatu’s recent actions in the WWE have caused excitement among fans and with good cause. After getting hurt at SummerSlam, where he suffered a leg injury in a fierce match with Cody Rhodes, people were curious about what awaited this powerful Bloodline member. Fatu was unable to participate in WWE’s upcoming plans and was not part of Roman Reigns’ updated group, Bloodline 2.0, due to his injury.
However, as the saying goes, a good man cannot be defeated. Jacob Fatu returned dramatically on the most recent episode of SmackDown, launching a vicious attack on none other than the Original Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. Speculation was rampant among the WWE fans following the surprising attack, leaving the universe in shock. Could Reigns reunite with his former comrades to suppress the rebellion happening within his kin? Could this be the downfall of the Bloodline as we are familiar with, or is it the start of a fresh era?
Rebuilding the bloodline: Will the Usos and Zayn rejoin reigns?
Fans have been discussing the potential for a reunion with the original Bloodline members. A common belief is that there is a possibility of the Usos, Jimmy, and Jey, as well as Sami Zayn, joining forces with Roman Reigns to take on Solo Sikoa’s latest group. The WWE Universe is excitedly anticipating the next move in a storyline full of potential.
However, Jacob Fatu seems to be playing his own game. Instead of simply aligning himself with the existing Bloodline members, he appears to be recruiting new blood. The name on everyone’s lips? Journey Fatu.
A tribute to legends and a sign of things to come?
Journey Fatu recently honored the iconic Wild Samoans, Sika and Afa Anoa’i, on Twitter after Afa’s death on August 16th. He captioned his emotional post with a photo of the deceased icons, saying, “You can rest now, we’ll take over. 💯” This message connected with fans and caught the eye of Jacob Fatu, who replied, “🙏🙏 LOVE YA USO.” Employing “Uso,” a Samoan term for “brother,” was not lost on the WWE community, though it did spark some initial confusion.
This exchange between the cousins hints at a closer bond and possibly a new alliance within Bloodline 2.0. Journey’s post, though a tribute, also carries an undertone of ambition—a desire to live up to the legacy of his forebears and carve out his path in the world of professional wrestling.
🙏🙏 LOVE YA USO

Rikishi weighs in: Journey Fatu’s potential in the WWE
Adding fuel to the fire is WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, who recently shared his thoughts on the potential of various wrestlers from the Anoa’i family on his podcast, ‘Rikishi Off the Top.’ When asked about the prospects of Zilla Fatu, Thamiko, Lance Anoa’i, and Journey Fatu joining the WWE, Rikishi did not hold back.
“Thamiko can kind of be in that same category with Zilla. Lance is primed. Journey can get away with it; Journey can adapt. He’s WWE material right now,” Rikishi stated confidently. He continued to emphasize the distinctive appearance and mental skill of Journey, indicating that he may bring value to the WWE, despite not fitting the usual mold of Anoa’i family wrestlers.
Jacob Fatu’s seemingly desired involvement of his younger cousin could have a significant impact on the Bloodline. With Journey Fatu’s skill and Jacob’s determination to enhance the group, Bloodline 2.0 has the potential to become an even stronger presence in the WWE.
What comes after for the ancestry?
Many uncertainties surround the future of the Bloodline, as there are still numerous unanswered questions. Will Journey Fatu officially join the ranks? Will Roman Reigns regain control of his faction, or will he face an insurrection from within? And what role will the Usos and Sami Zayn play in this evolving drama?
Jacob Fatu’s maneuvers are causing controversy, with the WWE fans keeping a close eye. It is definite that the Bloodline story is not finished yet, and the upcoming chapter is expected to be even more thrilling.
While fans anxiously wait, it is impossible not to ponder if we are about to see a major change in one of WWE’s most powerful groups. It is uncertain at the moment, but Jacob Fatu should be closely observed in the future.
