Has Jacob lost weight or is it just the jump from indies to WWE makes everybody look shorter

He has lost a lot of body fat and put on some muscle. I was surprised to see him shorter/almost the same size as Solo though.

He’s 6’1 last time I checked, but a lot of people thought he was the same size as Umaga when he’s a few inches shorter.

Yeah according to the Ultimate Source Wikipedia Jacob is 6’2 vs Umaga at 6’4

If wwe says he's 6'1 then hes around 5'11

Me on tinder

He looks slightly taller than Kevin Owens, which I kind of expected, but he's so much leaner than he was last year. Dude put in the work in the gym. Tama's speed and Tanga's power combined.

If I signed with WWE and they told me to hang out for a while before debuting, I’d be spending my days in the gym.

The anti-Braden Walker

He does look like he lost weight

He's lost a lot of weight

jump from indies to wwe where wrestlers are taller. He did lose weight though. It should be fine if they let him loose, he’s crazy athletic, probably more so now that he’s lost weight, but isn’t reckless.

Probably lost weight. WWE rings are huge, tho so who knows?

probably a little bit of both

He had an incredible transformation in the short time he was away. Just Google Jacob Fatu gcw and you can see just how much face gains he has had from recent pictures. You can't fake that

Love how Corey built him up as a legit psychopath

And KO honestly sold him even more with that crazy sell on the clothesline

plus his instant death via Samoan Drop on steel steps

When a Samoan does it, shouldn't it just be called a Drop?

It’s only a Samoan Drop when someone from Samoa does it. Otherwise it’s just a sparkling throw.

*sparkling splash

A splash is a body press, done from the top rope, run, or a jump. A Samoan Drop is a fireman’s carry throw.

I’ve obviously heard of him but have only seen a clip or two. “Solo, what have you done?” did so much to put him over.

He sounded genuinely terrified!

Shit Tonga Loa did too. He like hesitantantly raised his finger like “look I know I’m nuts but this is too far”

Him and Tama Tonga both had that what the fuck did we sign up for.

Just wait til Hikuleo debut. Dude will be staring into space

Yeah that was beautiful 😙👌🏼 They all did a great job at selling him.

And the terror of wade barret.

Corey has done a great job of hyping up all the new bloodline members. AEW commentators need to take notes from this about hyping up new arrivals properly.

It's the Butcher and the Blade! The Blade and the Butcher!

He has that Haku aura of this is not the guy to be in front of when he's pissed off.

“THIS GUY NEEDS TO BE LOCKED UP!” tell us how you really feel

Well he does have a real criminal record so that probably what they’re referencing

I like it because it works in pushing that Solo's Bloodline is an uncontrollable street gang compared to Roman's. You've got a violent criminal who spent time in jail, a guerrilla fighter and a former Mexican gang member/bicycle enthusiast.

Roman’s Bloodline was a family that happened to be a gang. Solo’s Bloodline is a gang that happens to be family.

That’s why they call him the Street Champ

Mafia vs Street Gang

Roman's Bloodline is like the 1930s Mafia compared to Solo Bloodline's as Los Zetas

>former Mexican gang member/bicycle enthusiast Who? 

Tanga Loa fka. Camacho

He used to hang out with Hunico aka Sin Cara 2 currently known as Cinta Del Oro

Bicycle enthusiast?!

Loa used to be in WWE where he was in Kayfabe a Mexican gangster who came out on a bike

That's so funny that they had a Samoan presented as a Mexican

They also had a Samoan presented as a Japanese man.

When the Usos referred to him as “Uncle Yokozuna” I chuckled

Whats more scary? The Wyatt Sicks or Jacob Fatu because I honestly don't know.

The shape that he’s in now, def Fatu. He took out 3 main event guys.

If Jacob was at RAW the Wyatt Sicks would’ve been the ones laid out. ☝🏽 https://preview.redd.it/yu9wnou6q18d1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ebafa4766c89faa3bc41e3aef52338189b8868e

Survivor Series is gonna be sick this year.

That man has some real aura around him

I don’t know, Paul Hamen has sold this new Bloodline as walking death. His “take me with you” was heartbreaking.

Maybe Fatu because he already feels like WWE's Baba Yaga

Nahh y'all think they'll do the new Wyatt's vs the bloodline?

I can see it happening eventually. They're both basically attempting to control WWE, but through different means. Two very big factions of this size can't exist without clashing at least once, they have to cross paths at some point.

See Wyatt Family v SHIELD.

Ooooh, Solo, Tama, Loa, Jacob vs Bo, Rowan, Gacy, Dex The hype alone would have the crowd blowing the roof off the place (provided Sick6 continue to do well, which I am sure they will).

That would be fucking sick as hell

SHIELD v Wyatts 2.0

Wyatt Sicks, The Bloodline as a whole is definitely more of a known quantity right now

I'm salivating at the potential war between both these teams tbh.

I knew when Solo begged like that, he was bluffing. Say what you want about him but Solo doesn't act like such a coward.

He was begging because if he took all three of them out Jacob would have attacked him instead. Once you unleash the beast only violence will sate it.

That psychotic laughter from Solo when Jacob came to save him was terrifying lmao.

Not another one. The best one, and they should have signed him years ago.

I would agree with this even if the dude wasn’t in the best shape of his career, but the fact that he is is making me feel like he he should be leading the new Bloodine 

He was under contract to MLW, so they weren't able to

I absolutely love that when the Bloodline disappeared Solo Sikoa just decided he'll make his own family business with new Samoans to his cause instead of repeating the same mistake. Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa and now Jacob Fatu... Manu WHEN ?!

Jacob is actually his cousin though, so the bloodline name actually makes sense now lol

I wouldn't be mad if Nia Jax is the inaugural member of the Bloodline's female branch in case there's more women on the way

Add Naomi as a honorary Uso

Dont think Jimmy is gonna be happy with that.

Why does there have to be a female branch?

Manu and Lance should have been signed up for the Bloodline ages ago. They could have been like the nWo B-team or maybe even PG-13 for the Nation of Domination

Hikuleo next please

Honestly who I thought it would be when Solo started laughing and phones turned away from the action.

Same. When I saw something about a new member I thought it would be him. Fatu actually left my mind at that moment so it still somehow shocked me. Great debut otherwise, dude looks like a legit psycho.

Surely they can't have many more Samoan wrestler relatives left? 

There’s like 10 of them on the indies scene

Well Hikuleo probably isn’t far off and Zilla is still hanging around in the indies

According to Bubba Ray, the Usos have 900 cousins. So yeah...there will be more.

And we thought WrestleMania was the Avengers Endgame of this storyline

It was. They are just doing a much better job with Phase 4 than marvel

Zilla Fatu is just starting to train.

And for having less than 20 matches under his belt. He’s gonna be something. Saw him at a GCW show recently and was heavily impressed.

Dude is crazy good already! And is willing to do some pretty crazy spots.

You must be new to Samoan Families lol.

They could get to NWO number of members, and they would be all related.

The Bloodline is a hydra. Strike one down and two more rise. Cody wanted to be the Captain America to face this Hydra

Hikuleo's going to raise out of the ocean like Godzilla.

There's a 7 feet tall one as well

They are going to need to set up a fourth promotion just for the Bloodline Civil War

There's another Tongan reportedly under contract

https://preview.redd.it/xwa5xfwi818d1.jpeg?width=624&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e68f7aa24941fe8a406ac17c021168f5edbaf1b9 Solo tonight

I thought wade was fantastic selling how seriously mental fatu is especially when he was attacking Cody.

Reign gonna comes back with these https://preview.redd.it/bvrn1qeyu18d1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7a6077bdf320aefecd4831d5ad262b5a1d77ed4

LOOK AT YOUR FAMILY NOW MAMA SIKOA

I looked him up and this man has 7 children. We're gonna be knee deep in Samoans for decades to come.

Man is so savage and dominant that he's going to pull a Braun Strowman & Nicholas with his firstborn, except his kid gonna do a Samoan drop and get the pin

just when i lose interest they bring me back in



Caesar Sikoa.. whatever happened there

That animal Fatu... I can't even say his name.

WHATEVA HAPPENED THERE???

To the victor goes the spoils

Whatever happened there? I’ll tell you what fucking happened, this piece of shit’s Samoan put six super kicks in the kid without any provocation, whatsoever.

When you think you're done with the Bloodline but another Samoan shows up: 

This is like a reoccuring theme of Bloodline story tbh. Sometimes it'd be in a filler arc where nothing really happens and it can be boring, but then they introduce new elements and the story gets to be so much more interesting.

The Bloodline is on the precipice of an enormous crossroads.

Thank god it was Jacob Fatu I've been expecting him before hikuleo and even tanga loa

I was honestly expecting Hikuleo and when the camera cut and it wasn’t some 6’8 giant I honestly didn’t know who it was because Jacob had lost that much weight

Same here

I like it, it kind of mirrors IRL gangs. The OGs were not good people but the next generation are a lot less disciplined.

With one old timer there still pining for the good old days

They lose any “honor” they had and get more brutal

As someone that didn’t know anything about all these dudes (other than hearing their names now and then) before they joined wwe He sure seems like a better signing than Tanga Loa lol

Jacob Fatu is one of those true hidden gems of the non WWE world. He's been out there in GCW, MLW, Reality of Wrestling and more just crushing it.

Literally. There were two guys Cornette would cream himself over long before AEW got up and going. One was MJF, the other was Jacob Fatu.

And Cornette has gone on record to say that the only guy he'd be willing to come back to manage is Jacob Fatu

lol you could have heyman’s bloodline vs cornette’s bloodline like a rehash of the midnights vs midnights feud

There's never been a situation where I saw a spot for Cornette in WWE in the last 15 years I've been watching. But having him take over as the wiseman for Heyman actually sounds interesting.

https://preview.redd.it/77jdmlv9p18d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77bcdad432ec98a3c6c3269e901d7c4d30d8df80 Twice in a lifetime!

There's few people who can go toe to toe with Heyman on the stick. Corny is definitely one of them. And if you want somebody you can absolutely loathe, Corny can do that too.

Jacob Fatu is actually a sick athlete. He looks leaner than I’ve seen him on other shows so he might be even more athletic now. You should look forward to him in action he’s dope.

Tanga Loa was likely to get Tama on-board. Together as GOD in NJPW they were legit and basically the Japanese Usos, but yea he’s never struck me as a good solo worker.

I mean undoubtedly he is. I will say Tanga Loa has been much better than expected. He's earned his contract so far.

I believe there is at least one more too

Hikuleo

No offense but what is Hikuleo going to do? The Werewolf just single-handedly took out three of WWE's top babyfaces.

> what is Hikuleo going to do? tall.

And you can't teach that.

With his height he’ll be a great asset to the new Bloodline NBA team

Honestly Hikuleo will need a run in NxT first too..

Hikuleo and Zilla Fatu being the NXT branch of the bloodline could be cool

Bloodline in NXT would have way more power over that roster with Ava as the GM

There's something inherently funny about Solo just adding another unhinged Samoan or Tonga to the roster. This mfs just gonna debut all the islands at this point.

Gonna have Max Holloway show up and start slipping punches and screaming he’s “the best boxer in the bloodline baby!”

Max Holloway in the WWE would be a trip. 💀

Max during contract signings- "We gon' see satuhde night!"

WWE is gonna have to hold a PLE in Honolulu & the Kickoff will be hosted by the Bloodline at a family feast

honestly there would be so many good names for the PLE like Maui Mayhem

at this point i just want him to keep adding more and more Samoans and Tongans to Smackdown to the point it’s just them and he is confused about who to face

Add Dakota Kai then you get Samoa and NZ in 1

https://preview.redd.it/tzeqsen9e18d1.jpeg?width=624&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d0548f1131159bf5649eb3fcf865e21456d7926 15 years has led to this long awaited revenge

Poor Kevin owens was collateral damage

“Sir, another Samoan has hit Smackdown” https://preview.redd.it/dn9ny8f0r18d1.jpeg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5df772bcbdaf1a6125d7bc0c47bc336b09e187e8

[удалено]

Punk's was probably his Plan A, when Drew murdered Punk and ruin that plan, he need a Plan B which was probably KO and Orton.

Facts didn’t think about it he had no ace up his sleeve. He literally got his ass whooped by Jacob

Now THAT'S a fucking wrestler bro

 Y’all got anymore of those Samoans

There’s a plenty more don’t worry lol

He's gonna steal Solo's shine so hard. Bro just debuted and already has 10x more aura than Solo

It explains why they are transitioning Solo to be more of a “don” character and not the silent monster Umaga successor they were positioning him as before. Jacob is clearly going to be that guy, and so Solo needed to be his own thing.

Super smart take honestly

You know that’s a good read and it works out for both guys not trying to be that 1 monster

Solo IMO works better in the role he’s in anyway, Jacob legit looks like the successor to Umaga

It seems like Solo is pretty a Sonny Corleone running a group of Luca Brasis

Jacob Fatu can talk bro, he should not be silent

Jacob is the muscle and Solo runs the operation. Roman was a combination of both so it works out really well.

Yep they set that up instantly and have them saluting in those same positions even. I really think solo is going to be great in this role.

What makes it funnier is Jacob is legit an amazing promo too

I think the best thing for Solo is Solo acts kind of like the director of his mob of Samoan and Tongan psychos, for example today after Jacob speared Randy the ref told him to go after Cody, what the ref did is a perfect role for Solo to do during Jacob’s stuff, like he tells Jacob do this do this and ect. it would double work as getting Jacob over as a psycho while not making him outshine Solo since he is still taking orders from him

Jacob can be a perfect candidate for giving Solo his own trauma from betrayal or defecting. The way Seth and Sami did to Roman. Either Solo becomes jealous of Jacob getting over on his own and Jacob becomes face. Or Jacob usurps leadership and kicks Solo out.

I dunno man, I think Solo actually has real good acting chops and will elevate to this role really well. He never ever breaks character like he’s a 10 year vet, and his facial expressions and growth as a performer over the past 2 years has been big. I wasn’t a solo fan at all until the recent turn with him as the head but I think he will really shine through. The company obviously have huge belief in him to put him in that position after Roman, so they must be seeing something too.

KO sold that lariat like death. Instant credibility for Fatu.

I swore it was hikuleo, but it was the Samoan werewolf

Yeah he's definitely outshining Solo lol

Solo in his anger turned to a man he didn't fully understand.

Some men can't be wrestled, buried, squashed or negotiated with. Some men, just wanna watch the ring burn.

Bro how many Fatu’s are there Christ Almighty try a condom already. This is getting out of hand, now there are four of them!

Lol technically speaking, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa are not 'Fatu's'. Only Solo and Jacob are from these 4.

Man, triple h gets in charge and gangs of maniacs overrun both shows in the same week.

Smackdown doesn’t miss. This bloodline angle is getting better and better.

When Roman's music finally hits its gonna blow the fuckin roof off.

That pop will be nothing compared to the moment the og Bloodline + Samy stand front to front against wolfpac bloodline in the ring. That shot will be WWE history forever.

Everything WWE is doing is fantastic Raw, NXT, and Smackdown. I can't speak for Speed because I don't have twitter

Don't let this distract you from the fact that they killed Jimmy and never faced justice. Where's Dijak when we need him? Also, the hate on Solo is just weird tbh. He's great in his role.

Was out all night at dinner so couldn't watch but..... LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The Samoan Werewolf has arrived

Man, Romans inevitable return and reunion with The Usos is going to hit like fucking crack. The Samoan Civil War is coming.

Next week is MSG... if Chicago got Jacob Fatu, what is MSG gonna get? It feels too soon to do it a week after Jacob comes in, but MSG would be the perfect spot for Roman to return.

I have never Jacob this slim before.

Corny better hit the gym for a few months and get ready to cash a fat check. They could even tie it in with when he managed another family member, Yokozuna 🤔

I completely understand them worrying about him outshining Solo. Tama is arguably already more interesting than him and now they add Jacob.

It’s going to be 2034, and WWE is only going to be made up of Samoans and Tongans.

I almost didn’t recognize him, he’s in amazing shape.

Was there even a hint he would debut tonight? I know we all knew he was signed but it seemed like a genuine surprise. When the Tongans came out then Randy and KO I was checked out, felt like the story was spinning the wheels until Roman returned but then bang Big Jacob Fatu batters the shite out of three main eventers.

I haven’t seen so many dudes from one family since the Villanos.

Jacob Fatu in the inevitable WarGames watch is gonna be fucking insane.

We're actually going to a Bloodline triple split Bloodline Classic: Roman Reigns and the Usos Bloodline Hollywood: The Rock, Solo Sikoa, and Jacob Fatu Bloodline New Japan: The Guerillas of Destiny and Hikuleo

No offense to the Tongans, but that 3rd split feel like if they made a storyline around DX vs Shield vs 3MB

We gonna get a Latino Bloodline too you think?

Rey doesn't need more people turning on him.

Hunico is going to come back for his best friend Camacho

How many times does Cody have to be told? Don’t mess with Samoans because they’ll kill you and then their 97 cousins will get to work on you

Is it me or does it look like Jacob's dropped about 25 pounds? Dude looked pretty good.
