A new rumor claims that Jacob Fatu’s Bloodline replacement could be revealed as soon as this week’s edition of SmackDown.
On Saturday at Money in the Bank 2025, what fans assumed would eventually happen finally went down. As Solo Sikoa looked to grab the MITB briefcase and a future world title opportunity, his Bloodline enforcer, Jacob Fatu, turned on him. Proving once and for all that he no longer loves Solo.
The moment is sure to lead to a long-term feud between the two relatives. It will likely begin this Friday on SmackDown, and could escalate quickly based on a new report from PW Insider this week. The outlet claims that plans are already in place for Fatu to be replaced in the group by former NJPW wrestler Hikuleo.
Furthermore, the Samoan big man is scheduled to be at Friday’s SmackDown event in Lexington, Kentucky. Hikuleo signed with the company last year after his NJPW contract expired. There have been various rumors about when the company might debut him on television. Including reports that he could have a stint in NXT first before moving on to the main roster.
The former Bullet Club member is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Haku and the brother of injured Bloodline members Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
