361 lbs WWE star acknowledges explosive first-time face-off with The Bloodline's Jacob Fatu on SmackDown
The Bloodline's Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa, and Tama Tonga once again demonstrated their dominance on this week's WWE SmackDown. The show featured an explosive confrontation between The Samoan Werewolf and the 361-pound Braun Strowman.
Sami Zayn and Carmelo Hayes showcased an exceptional performance in a singles match during the final SmackDown of 2024. Towards the end of the bout, Carmelo attempted to forfeit by leaving the ring. Strowman intervened and tried to get Hayes back in the squared circle, but Melo managed to escape and run backstage.
Meanwhile, in the ring, The Bloodline launched a vicious attack on The Master Strategist, which resulted in a disqualification. Subsequently, The Monster Among Men returned to assist Sami Zayn by neutralizing Tama Tonga and Solo Sikoa. The former WWE Universal Champion then shifted his focus and engaged in a tense standoff with The Samoan Werewolf.
However, the two powerhouses did not engage in one-on-one physical combat as Braun Strowman was outnumbered by The Bloodline. On his Instagram Story, the 41-year-old star acknowledged having a banger face-off with Jacob Fatu.

Veteran comments on Braun Strowman's current and past booking in WWE
After this week's Friday Night SmackDown, The Monster of All Monsters appears to have been integrated into the ongoing Bloodline saga. Meanwhile, Vince Russo compared Braun Strowman's previous booking in WWE to his current booking.
Speaking on an episode of BroDown exclusively on Backstage Pass, the veteran questioned the creative decision to alter Strowman's character, suggesting that this change has negatively impacted his popularity with fans.
"Okay bro, you remember he was throwing over trucks and he was in that big angle with Roman Reigns. Okay bro. Something happens and you change your mind with him, then cut him loose. They definitely switched gears on this guy, and he's not been over for years," Vince Russo said.
It remains to be seen if fans will witness a blockbuster singles match between Jacob Fatu and Braun Strowman very shortly.
