Jacob Fatu, a member of the Bloodline wrestling family, has expressed interest in forming a tag team with Roman Reigns, marking their first-time alliance in WWE. This potential team-up has sparked excitement among fans, especially as it intersects with key developments in the Bloodline storyline and the ongoing rivalries within the faction.
Fatu, who debuted in WWE after the initial Bloodline had already disbanded and was led by Solo Sikoa, has shown a deep respect for his family lineage, including Roman Reigns, who remains a central figure in the faction. However, Fatu initially opposed Reigns as Sikoa’s enforcer and later distanced himself from Sikoa due to internal conflicts, culminating in a betrayal at Money in the Bank.
The rivalry between Fatu and Sikoa continued into WWE Night of Champions, where Fatu defended his United States Championship but ultimately lost the title to Sikoa after interference. Currently, as a fan-favorite character, Fatu teams with former Bloodline member Jimmy Uso.
Recent Developments Surrounding Fatu’s Alliances and Matches
In recent storylines, Jacob Fatu and Jimmy Uso have suffered attacks from MFT, Sikoa’s faction, but have also aligned with Sami Zayn, another figure previously involved in the Bloodline saga. Despite early doubts about Zayn’s allegiance to the blue brand, Fatu appeared to warm up to the partnership following a six-man tag team match, where their cooperation culminated in a warmly received moment by the Boston crowd.
During an interview on The Rich Eisen Show, Fatu addressed the idea of teaming with Roman Reigns. Although he had not seriously considered it before, he reacted positively to the suggestion, emphasizing family ties and the meaningful nature such a reunion would hold for him.
“You know, we just split. But I never even thought about that. But man, bro, that man, that do sound good. Obviously, your boy needs some help right now. I mean, I never thought about that, man, but it will be good. Once again, this comes, it’s the family, baby. Yeah, I mean, that would be a special moment for me.” —Jacob Fatu
Roman Reigns himself is slated to appear on WWE RAW on August 18, making this a timely moment for the speculation around a Reigns-Fatu tag team.
