Jacob Fatu recently renewed his association with the MFT faction, underscoring the strong family ties within WWE storylines. The Samoan Werewolf made his WWE debut as a member of Solo Sikoa’s New Bloodline on SmackDown, where he formed alliances including one with Tama Tonga, with whom he captured the WWE Tag Team Championship.
Initially following Sikoa’s lead, Fatu turned on him at Money in the Bank last year, sparking a feud between the two cousins. Since that betrayal, Fatu has operated independently while Solo Sikoa restructured the Bloodline into the group now known as MFT, which includes members Talla Tonga, JC Mateo, and Tonga Loa.
Despite the scripted rivalry, the familial bond remains evident. Tama Tonga shared a video on Instagram showing Jacob Fatu traveling with the MFT members, highlighting the deeper connection beyond the storyline tension. The video also referenced Jey Uso, a key figure within this wrestling community.
Another clip from Talla Tonga at the airport featured Solo Sikoa and Fatu walking alongside Tama Tonga, emphasizing their continued association. Currently, MFT holds the WWE Tag Team Titles after defeating The Wyatt Sicks on SmackDown, while Fatu remains a prominent competitor at the top of the show’s card.
Jacob Fatu Influences WWE Championship Outcomes on SmackDown
In recent weeks, Fatu’s presence significantly impacted major championship matches on SmackDown. During a Triple Threat qualifying match for the Elimination Chamber featuring Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn, Fatu seemed poised to win but was thwarted by interference from Drew McIntyre.
This week, Fatu returned the favor during a WWE Undisputed Championship match between McIntyre and Cody Rhodes. As McIntyre attempted to use a steel chair for an illegal advantage, Fatu intervened by confiscating the chair. Rhodes seized the moment, executing a Cross Rhodes to win his third Undisputed WWE Championship.
The Continued Importance of the MFT Alliance in WWE Storylines
Jacob Fatu’s reunion with the MFT faction reflects ongoing narrative dynamics within WWE, where family loyalty and competition blend to engage viewers. With MFT holding the tag titles and Fatu involved in high-profile matches, their alliance is likely to shape upcoming storylines and rivalries across SmackDown.
The renewed collaboration between Fatu and the MFT could lead to new developments in faction rivalries and championship pursuits, maintaining WWE’s emphasis on both athletic performance and storyline complexity.
