Bloodline grew once again on Friday as Jacob Fatu made an explosive debut on SmackDown.
Cody Rhodes was scheduled to face Solo Sikoa in a match to close out “Friday Night SmackDown,” but Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa interfered in the match and launched a three-on-one attack on the undefeated WWE champion.

Randy Orton and Kevin Owens came down to the ring to try and even the match, throwing Tonga and Loa out of the ring, while Rhodes, Orton and Owens targeted Sicoa, who was sitting near the corner of the ring, whose demeanor went from nervous to frantic.
At that moment, Fatu appeared out of nowhere and rescued Sikoa.
Fatu hit superkicks on Orton and Rhodes, then received a superkick from Owens, but it didn’t seem to have any effect as Fatu continued his onslaught outside the ring.

Wyatt Sixx makes shocking WWE debut after weeks of notice: “We’re Here!”
He finished the match with a splash on Rose through the announcer’s table, then joined by Sikoa, Tonga, and Loa in the ring to celebrate the win, with all members of Bloodline except Sikoa looking shocked.
Fatu has long been rumored to be joining WWE as part of the Bloodline storyline, which unfolded in the wake of Roman Reigns’ loss to Rhodes for the WWE Title at WrestleMania 40.
Fatu is a former Major League Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion and the son of Sam Fatu, a member of the legendary Anoa’i family who wrestled in WWE during the 1980s.
Jacob Fatu is also the nephew of WWE legend Rikishi and the late WWE wrestler Umaga.
