If Jacob Fatu has one speed, it’s “wreck everything and leave.” And last night on WWE SmackDown, he did exactly that.
The U.S. Championship bout between LA Knight (yeah!) and Braun Strowman (rawr!) was meant to be a good ol’ fashioned slugfest. Instead, it became Jacob Fatu’s personal demo derby, ending in a double disqualification after the “Samoan Werewolf” tore through both men like a buffet line in Suplex City.
The result?
LA Knight keeps his title.
Strowman gets flattened.
And Fatu? He gets everyone’s attention.
But it didn’t stop with the wreckage. Backstage, Fatu’s old Bloodline allies—Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga—confronted him over his ambush. Sikoa, clearly still clinging to the “I’m in charge” energy, scolded Fatu for going rogue. But Fatu wasn’t having it.
“When it comes to Braun Strowman, I will be the last man standing. So y’all better get in where you fit in, ‘cause that US title, I’m bringing it home to the family. I’m gonna do it with you, or without you.”

It was a mic drop moment, and one that only further splinters the already fragile New Bloodline. Since Solo Sikoa’s loss to Roman Reigns in January’s Tribal Combat match—aka Netflix’s premiere of WWE Raw: The Dysfunctional Dynasty—the crew has lacked direction, cohesion, or a GPS.
Fatu’s “all gas, no brakes” energy has taken over, but he’s also quietly distanced himself from the spiritual side of the group—those prayer hands and heartfelt “I love you, Solo” moments now feel as vintage as a Bloodline T-shirt on clearance.
Let’s not forget: this isn’t just any muscle with a microphone. Jacob Fatu held the MLW World Heavyweight Championship for 819 freakin’ days. That’s not a reign—that’s a dynasty. And if he’s aiming that legacy at WWE gold, you better believe he’s not coming to ask nicely.
With cracks showing, alliances breaking, and Fatu turning the U.S. Title picture into a battlefield, WrestleMania season just got way more unpredictable.
