5 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (23 Aug - Results & Review)

2. Jacob Fatu Makes The Difference (Again!)

Solo Sikoa gave Jacob Fatu permission to get involved in the tag title bout and stop The Street Profits from rolling towards a win vs. Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. This has become a recurring theme, and a good one. Jacob, who was announced as Solo's "personal enforcer" pre-match, made the difference yet again.

There's no reason to stop pounding this home weekly either.

Fatu wrecked Roman Reigns, and decimated DIY almost single-handedly this week. It had to be deliberate that Solo only got involved and picked clean some babyface bones once his bodyguard softened everyone up. That's something Roman Reigns (or maybe Paul Heyman?) can bring up on the mic in coming months.

The actual match between Bloodline and Profits was solid too. Nobody's pretending Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins are anything other than stale as an act, but they are capable of producing a scorcher bell to bell. Special mention for the much-maligned Loa as well - he was fine out there, and it makes sense that he partners Tama whilst Jacob does his own thing.
