Folks, we are witnessing a tremendous shift on SmackDown. The Bloodline, once shaken, is now stirring—thanks to Solo Sikoa’s grand master plan, which is clearly better than any plan in history. They said it couldn’t be done, but guess what? It’s happening.
On Friday night, the newest (and possibly most terrifying) family enforcer, Jacob Fatu, absolutely steamrolled Andrade in the first round of the U.S. Title No. 1 Contender’s Tournament. Some are saying it was a wrestling match, but others—the smart ones—are calling it a live-action horror movie where Andrade played the role of “guy who should’ve stayed home.”
Smash, Bash, and Moonsault to Cash
The match started as you’d expect: Fatu tried to eat Andrade alive, while Andrade desperately attempted to use strategy—classic mistake. At one point, Andrade managed a slick dodge, sending Fatu crashing into the corner before landing a beautiful Moonsault to the outside. It looked nice, but let’s be honest, it was like throwing a water balloon at a freight train.
Fatu promptly regained control by introducing Andrade’s face to the announce table—very personally, I might add—before brushing off Andrade’s signature Moonsault combo like it was an unpaid parking ticket. Moments later, Fatu elevated Andrade into the flatliner from hell before adding insult to injury with a Moonsault of his own to seal the deal. Because if there’s one thing better than hitting a Moonsault, it’s hitting one after absolutely destroying your opponent.
The Big Picture: Bloodline 2.0?
With his victory, Fatu secured a spot in the Triple Threat No. 1 Contender’s Match, which could very well put Bloodline business back in championship form. As of now, he’s the only confirmed participant—because why rush into finding more victims? But let’s be real: who’s stopping this man? LA Knight is reportedly competing later in the night, which is great for the fans but horrible for anyone who enjoys Knight’s face being in one piece.
Meanwhile, the reigning U.S. Champion Shinsuke Nakamura awaits his next challenger after shocking the world by defeating LA Knight at Survivor Series. Will Fatu be the man to bring the U.S. Title back to the Bloodline? Folks, if I were Nakamura, I’d start learning how to say ‘I surrender’ in Samoan—because this werewolf is hungry.
