While Roman Reigns led The Bloodline for nearly four years on WWE SmackDown, Solo Sikoa recently proclaimed himself its new Tribal Chief. Former World Wrestling Entertainment writer, Freddie Prinze Jr. recently suggested a 6'2" star from the blue brand who could eventually become the faction's new leader.
After Sikoa took over The Bloodline, he recruited Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu into the group. The latter has since been praised for his performance as many experts predicted a bright future for him in the Stamford-based company. On a recent episode of his Wrestling with Freddie podcast, Prinze Jr. also discussed potential directions for Fatu, claiming he could one day become the head of The Bloodline.
The former WWE writer also wondered if the 32-year-old could eventually become a world champion.
"That dude, I don't know if he's gonna be a heavyweight champion, like a world champion. He'd have to be able to talk on the mic. But they gotta do something with Jacob Fatu and this whole Bloodline thing, like maybe one day he's the head of The Bloodline, I don't know. If he can ever talk. I didn't know if Solo would be able to and he can. So, you never know with guys," he said. [27:28 - 27:45]

Rikishi commented on Jacob Fatu's current run in WWE
On his Off The Top podcast, WWE Hall of Famer, Rikishi, commented on Jacob Fatu's current run in the Stamford-based company, claiming that the 32-year-old was being pushed too soon.
The 58-year-old wrestling legend pointed out that although he was not surprised by Fatu's push, he suggested that the promotion book The Samoan Werewolf in enhancement matches instead to build his character up first, before thrusting him into the main event scene.
"When you go to Cody, where do you go from there? Cody is the guy right now. I've said this before, let Jacob rampage through the whole roster, [and] give him those enhancement matches to build him. We've seen Jacob, however long he's been on, but is there anything different? You can only do so much on a run-in. This is me. This is what I'm saying. You really want to go with a guy, show his talent. Put him out there, let him have a match match, a squash match, just so he can show his potential of what else this kid can do," he said.

Last Saturday, Fatu teamed up with Solo Sikoa against Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns at WWE Bad Blood, but the faction came up short. It will be interesting to see what lies ahead for the Samoan Werewolf, now that another key component of The Bloodline saga has returned, The Rock.
