Jacob Fatu has questioned Jeff Cobb’s recent WWE debut and Bloodline alliance.
Last weekend, toward the closing stages of Backlash’s first match, fans witnessed the much-awaited debut of former NJPW star Jeff Cobb and his alliance with Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline. Cobb arrived as Solo Sikoa’s new Bloodline member and helped Jacob Fatu retain his United States Championship over LA Knight, Damian Priest, and Drew McIntyre.
Despite Cobb helping Fatu retain his US Championship, the Samoan Werewolf was not pleased at the aid. Soon, during his interview on the Backlash Recap Show, Jacob Fatu shared his thoughts on Cobb’s WWE debut and allegiance with the New Bloodline.
“Man, I’m gonna keep it 100, I don’t even want to speak on that. I don’t want to speak on none of that. I don’t want to speak on the last couple of seconds because honestly, I could tell you I don’t know. I appreciate you having me, but I don’t want to speak on none of that. I can’t tell you if I don’t know anything. If I don’t know why, I can’t speak on it.”The whole world saw the look on my face.”
Discussing his own loyalty and calling the debut “slowly upsetting,” the champ said,
I ain’t frustrated about it, but I just can’t speak on it. I can’t tell you nothing about it because it’s kind of — it’s just a little different. Obviously, I still feel like they better get in where they fit in at the end of the day. I can’t call it. Everybody just gonna have to stay tuned and see what’s poppin cause for something like that to pop up out of nowhere to me, to Jacob, who’s been nothing but loyal. Slowly upsetting. Overall, I don’t want to speak about it though. Like I said, they better get in where they fit in at the end of the day. That’s it, man.”

With the storyline now picking up pace, fans wonder if Cobb could serve as Fatu’s replacement in the Bloodline.
WWE has also filed a trademark for Jeff Cobb’s possible new ring-name.
Wrestling Veteran Believes Jacob Fatu Is A Future WrestleMania Main Event Star
A few weeks ago, while speaking on Something To Wrestle, WWE Hall of Famer JBL heaped compliments on current United States Champion Jacob Fatu and hailed him to be a future WrestleMania headliner.
“It could have been, absolutely it could have been. I mean, you have a guy come in that — Jacob Fatu. I mean look you and I have either been wrestling fans or in this business for a very, very long time. You don’t have a guy come on like Jacob Fatu very often. He’s a once-in-a-generation guy that comes along. It’s shocking how good he is. And it may have been Solo’s spot, I don’t know.
But all of a sudden Jacob Fatu comes in, and you’re like, ‘We got to make way for this.’ Doesn’t mean that Solo doesn’t get his chance but it means that Jacob Fatu goes to the front line, not just in front of Solo, but in front of a lot of people. Because he’s that good, he really is that good. I see him in the main event of WrestleMania. I don’t know if next year or the next year, he’s going to be there, I think. Unless an injury happens, or whatever could possibly happen. But he should be there. He’s that freaking good.”
