Former WWE United States Champion Jacob Fatu recently shared his thoughts on his relationship with Solo Sikoa and teased a future interaction within the Bloodline storyline.
In an interview with Esteban Ramirez, Fatu reflected on his relationship with Sikoa, the first man to pin him in WWE. He acknowledged the “love-and-hate type of situation” between them.
Jacob Fatu said he respects what Solo Sikoa and his group have going on, but isn’t interested in joining them. He described his relationship with Solo as complicated—both positive and tense—while acknowledging Solo’s major role in his career, including being the first to pin him in WWE and helping bring him in. He also said Solo’s recent statements were genuine.
Hey man, as of now, the MFTs have got something good going on over there. Do I want to be a part of the group? Come on now. But overall, it’s a love-and-hate type of situation with me and Solo. Solo was the very first man in WWE that pinned Jacob Fatu. Solo was the man that brought Jacob Fatu up in there.
“Let’s keep it 100, those promos – not even promos, that work of art – that Solo was talking about, it’s all 100. It was all real.
'The Samoan Werewolf' said he used to only care about himself, but acknowledges that Solo Sikoa gave him an opportunity when no one else would and genuinely looked out for him.
Yeah, Jacob didn’t care about nothing but myself. Yeah, Solo did bring me in when nobody wanted to touch me. Yeah, Solo was really looking out, not only in his Bloodline, but in real. So yeah, it is love and hate, but overall, they up right now. Now you’ve got Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Talla Tonga, JC Mateo. They’re running it right now with The Wyatts, but I can’t even answer your question right now. All I can just say is our paths eventually are going to cross.
Fatu debuted on SmackDown in June 2024 and joined Solo Sikoa's version of The Bloodline. However, The Bloodline turned into MFT in June last year and Fatu turned on Solo at Money in the Bank. They were eventually involved in a rivalry.
Fatu had been off WWE television since October 2025 due to a dental injury. He is currently involved in a feud with Drew McIntyre and they will go head-to-head at tonight's WWE SmackDown in Raleigh, North Carolina.
