WWE made a huge mistake with Bloodline member, says veteran, believes 33-year-old star should be in his spot

A WWE veteran recently spoke about how the promotion may have made a mistake by debuting Jacob Fatu as the "muscle" of The Bloodline. Matt Morgan believes Fatu should have debuted in a more prominent spot and the rumored new signing Hikuleo could have been introduced in his place.

Ever since Jacob Fatu showed up on SmackDown a few weeks back as part of The Bloodline, he has become the talk of the town. His debut was arguably even more impactful than that of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. Fatu also made his in-ring debut at WWE Money in the Bank 2024, where he, Solo Sikoa, and Tama Tonga defeated Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens.

On the latest edition of the Gigantic Pop podcast, Matt Morgan discussed that Hikuleo, the rumored new WWE signing, should have debuted in Fatu's spot. Morgan believes The Samoan Werewolf is way too talented to simply work as the muscle of the group.

"I would have brought him [Hikuleo] up first honestly because he could have been the muscle that Solo needed. Even though they've been doing a great job with Jacob [Fatu], Jacob can cut promos, so I would have liked to see him in a position where he does get to talk. Right now, he's supposed to be a killer I get that and they're jamming that, smacking everybody over the head with that to get that branding out, to show who he is and what he can do. But at the same time, he's a great promo and I know we'll eventually see that when that character starts to evolve but I would have brought in Hikuleo as the muscle," said Matt Morgan.

Dutch Mantell is impressed with Jacob Fatu's booking in WWE

On last week's episode of Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell mentioned how Jacob Fatu was being booked to perfection by WWE's creative team. Mantell feels Fatu could elevate all his opponents just by sharing a ring with them and went as far as to say that he could easily take down Cody Rhodes in singles competition.

"Well, they're booking him right. They're booking him like a monster. And that's how you gotta book him right now. He will make every guy he works with better and have more prestige. You can just think now, the way he's going right now, who you would like to see him with. I think him and Cody, I think the guy is just too powerful for Cody just for observation."

Jacob Fatu caused mayhem yet again on SmackDown this week, where he and his Bloodline stablemates brutally attacked both Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens.
