Surface level thinking says Solo Sikoa is the first concern for WWE. That's fair, because Solo was installed as the leader of a reworked Bloodline during Roman Reigns' absence, and he's been taking pot shots at Cody Rhodes in title matches. Look deeper to see who's coming up behind him as a key money player.

Jacob. F'n. Fatu.

Fatu has been outshining Sikoa, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa in pretty much every Bloodline 2.0 segment he's been involved in. Creative teased what's coming by having him tangle with Roman too, and Hunter knows he has that delicious showdown tucked away in his back pocket for later. It'll be massive on PLE.

One can see Jacob holding either the WWE or World Heavyweight Title come the end of next year. His intensity is unmatched whenever he's on-screen. Fatu owns the scene even when he's just stalking in the background. That, dear readers, is a star on the rise.
