Alright, let’s talk about this thing I’ve been chewing on – Jacob Fatu getting mixed up with Roman Reigns. Been watching the shows, seeing how things are shaking out, and you start putting pieces together, right?

So, I was watching Solo Sikoa doing his thing, taking charge, bringing in Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. Felt like they were building something new, yeah? But different. More brutal, maybe? Less of that family honor stuff Roman always talked about, more just… nasty business.
Putting it Together
Then my brain started wandering. Where does Roman fit when he comes back? He’s gonna walk in, see Solo running his crew, using his name? Nah, that ain’t gonna fly. There’s gonna be conflict, big time. Civil war inside the Bloodline, that’s what it looks like they’re cooking.
And then you hear the whispers, see the reports about Jacob Fatu signing. This dude’s a monster, totally different vibe from the Usos, different from Solo even. More unhinged. So, I started thinking, how do you use a guy like that?
- Does he come in with Solo’s group first? Maybe. Makes sense, another tough Samoan dude.
- Or… does he come back with Roman?
That second one got me thinking more. Imagine Roman, coming back not just for his title, but for his family, his real Bloodline. He needs backup against Solo’s new faction. Who better than another absolute killer from the family, someone Solo maybe didn’t count on?
The ‘Working Together’ Angle
So, the practice here was trying to map it out. How would that actually look?
First, you need Roman’s return. Big moment, obviously. Crowd goes nuts.
Then, the confrontation with Solo. It probably doesn’t go Roman’s way immediately. Solo’s got numbers now. He’s got that cold look in his eye.

This is where I figured Fatu comes in. Maybe Roman’s getting jumped, outnumbered. Then BOOM. Fatu’s music hits (or maybe no music, just chaos). He runs down, total destruction. Siding with Roman. Not because he’s a good guy, but because maybe Roman’s the devil he knows, or maybe there’s some other family loyalty thing going on there we don’t know about yet.
Why It Makes Sense (Maybe)
I kicked this around for a while. Felt right, you know? It gives Roman some heavy backup. It introduces Fatu in a massive way, immediately putting him in the main event scene. And it sets up huge matches. Roman and Fatu vs. Solo and the Tongans? Yes please.
It kinda mirrors how things started, Roman needing his cousins. Now he needs a different kind of family muscle. It continues the whole Bloodline saga but gives it a fresh coat of paint. Keeps it from getting stale, which, let’s be honest, was starting to happen before Roman left.
Was just sitting there last Friday, watching SmackDown, saw the whole Paul Heyman situation, looking scared. It just clicked then. Heyman’s gonna need his Tribal Chief back. And that Chief? He’s gonna need his own backup. Fatu fits that bill perfectly. Rough, unpredictable, dangerous. Just what you need for a family war.
So yeah, that’s the scenario I mapped out. Fatu working with Roman when he returns. Seems like a logical step in the story they’ve been telling, using the pieces they have on the board. We’ll see if they actually do it, but that’s how I see it playing out best.
