Rikishi: Jacob Fatu Has Yet To Show His Talent To The World, He's Yet To Reach His Star Status

The Bloodline has been running strong in WWE for decades, but never more prevalent than the last four years as Roman Reigns and his family have ascended to star status.

Jacob Fatu is part of the new Bloodline with Solo Sikoa, and is already being tabbed by many fans as the next breakout star in the family thanks to his quick impact in WWE and previous work on the independent scene.

Speaking on his Off The Top podcast, Rikishi weighed in on Jacob's star status.

“For the new generation, we got a lot of our nephews that are in the business that are coming up. For instance, like Jacob Fatu. I’ve always said that this kid here has yet to show his talent to the world, and so with Jacob, until I see Jacob have a full one-on-one match and the world sees him have a full one-on-one match without outside interference, I think the world will understand what I’ve been talking about for the longest [time]. But Jacob has yet to reach his star status as far as being a main event player. So the family is full of a lot of good workers, even better people," he said.

Jacob is set to team with Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, & Tonga Loa in WarGames against Roman, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, & Sami Zayn at WWE Survivor Series.
