Following reports that he'd signed with WWE during WrestleMania Week, Jacob Fatu's WWE arrival is said to be imminent.

As per PWInsider, the belief is that Fatu will be making his WWE debut within the next week. Given how many expect the Samoan Werewolf to be added to the Bloodline story, one has to think he could well make an appearance on this week's SmackDown.

For those not familiar with Jacob Fatu, he is one of the most athletic, impressive, intense big men in the game right now. A former MLW World Champion, and having impressed for the likes of GCW, NJPW, HOG, and Defy over the years, Fatu is a part of the Samoan Dynasty.

On that front, Jacob's father is the Tonga Kid, who is the twin brother of Rikishi. As such, that means Rikishi is Fatu's uncle, and the Usos and Solo Sikoa are his cousins, in addition to the 31-year-old being related to the likes of Roman Reigns, Yokozuna, Umaga, Rosey, and the Wild Samoans.

Recent reports note how both Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga have made a good impression behind the scenes so far in WWE, and it appears Jacob could well soon be joining Tama in the ever-developing Bloodline saga.
