The landscape of The Bloodline Saga and Jacob Fatu's role within it could change during RAW's debut on Netflix. Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa will do battle in Tribal Combat with the winner earning both the Ula Fala necklace and the title of Tribal Chief.
Reigns has already been the Tribal Chief, and winning will essentially return things to how they were over the last few years. Solo Sikoa winning will legitimize his takeover of the group.
Outside interference will assuredly take place in the fight despite the ban. If Solo loses, many more interesting things can happen, especially with Jacob Fatu. If Sikoa falls in Tribal Combat, The Samoan Werewolf could do one of the next four things.
One apparent aspect of the new Bloodline is Fatu's blind loyalty to Solo Sikoa. His over-the-top yells of "I love you, Solo!" are both comedic and telling.
Some leaders have blind followers who worship them even if they commit deplorable acts or say terrible things. If his beloved leader falls to The Original Tribal Chief, he may opt to stay loyal to the man who brought him to WWE.
It would keep the group together but also set the stage for Sikoa blaming Fatu for the loss. That would, in turn, lead to Fatu's babyface turn.
If everything falls apart for the new Bloodline, a lot could happen. Instead of Reigns taking time off, Solo and his group could do the same for a few weeks.
Roman will probably compete in the Royal Rumble, so he should appear on programming in person. Sikoa and his group have carried the torch as the top faction on SmackDown for much of 2024.
They've dominated programming so much that they've appeared on RAW several times. Jacob Fatu's absence could also build anticipation for a potential return during the 2025 Royal Rumble.
Bron Breakker had a short but impressive run last year. The Samoan Werewolf could have the same run this year and even make his own choice should his allies appear during the melee.
Wresting factions don't last forever. Outside of the New Day, most groups have a shelf life of three years or less. Evolution, D-X, The Shield, Damage CTRL, and many other wrestling factions disbanded to move things forward.
If Solo falls in Tribal Combat on RAW, Jacob Fatu could see the writing on the wall. He routinely impresses the crowd with his moves and often inhuman-like qualities.
Sikoa has held him back a few times, especially against top stars like Reigns and Cody Rhodes. Fatu could decide to stand on his own and leave the Bloodline.
That could open the door for another member like Hikuleo or Lance Anoa'i to take his place. If it gets physical, all the better.
Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Roman Reigns lost at WrestleMania 40 but wasn't present to face immediate repercussions.
Sikoa turned on his family by assaulting Jimmy Uso. It set the stage for where the feud currently sits. Solo hasn't had much success in terms of tangible rewards like titles.
They've beaten up stars on RAW and SmackDown, but that gets old after a while. Should Sikoa fail in another one of his biggest matches, the rest of the Bloodline could turn on him.
Jacob Fatu is the clear standout of the faction and would be the rightful person to lead it if another coup takes place. He could do what Sikoa did. That would then put the onus on him for not learning from the past.
