Jacob Fatu Reveals Truth About Being Jealous Of WWE Star

Jacob Fatu’s stint in the WWE has been stellar, and he appears to be gaining a steady fan base.

Fatu beat LA Knight at WrestleMania 41 to become the United States champion. He continues to remain a part of the Bloodline faction alongside Solo Sikoa and new member JC Mateo.

Fatu is also in the midst of a strained relationship with Mateo.

The incident occurred at the 2025 Backlash PLE, when Fatu defended his title against Knight. In the closing minutes of the match, Mateo interfered without Fatu’s knowledge.

Despite reclaiming the title on that night, his camaraderie with Mateo has been shaky. The Samoan Werewolf has often disregarded the newbie due to him being an outsider and not an authentic member of ‘The Bloodline.’

Fatu recently appeared on the Battleground Podcast, where he discussed his vision for his faction and bond with Mateo, among other things.

You know what, the Bloodline has always been the Bloodline. You know, we talking about coming from the OG, from Top Dog Roman, Uso, Solo. I really can’t even speak on it, cuz at the end of the day, we could say this and that, but you know what? It ain’t no jealousy. It ain’t nothing behind that.

At the end of the day, he (Mateo) deserves to be in WWE. He deserves to be there, especially all the stuff that he’s been through. But at the end of the day, I really can’t call it, you know. Solo’s in and out. I’m in and out. And, man, we just all gotta bounce back on the same page. That’s about it.

Jacob Fatu To Turn Babyface Sooner Than Later

Jacob Fatu’s tension with his cousin, Solo, and Mateo could lead him to turn babyface.

Matthew Rehwoldt (FKA Aiden English) has claimed that Fatu’s popularity among the audience could see him become a babyface soon.

They [WWE] like him [Jacob Fatu], we like him, crowds like him. He is taking off this year, especially post-Mania, right? He’s going full babyface sooner than later.

Whether or not the Bloodline gets back on the same page is a story for the coming weeks. Meanwhile, Fatu is expected to be at Money in the Bank PLE on June 7 in some capacity.
