WWE 'concerned' about Jacob Fatu overshadowing Solo Sikoa: Rumors

Backstage news suggest that Fatu has signed for the company

Jacob Fatu is a real-life Bloodline member from the Anoa’i Wrestling Family. He is the son of Sam Fatu, cousin of The Usos and is the nephew of Rikishi, The Rock and Roman Reigns. Jacob Fatu was trained by Rikishi and made his debut in 2012. He states that The Usos are his inspirations for his professional wrestling career. 

He spent the first seven years of his career in the independent promotions and moved to Major League Wrestling, teaming up with fellow Anoa’i family members there. He was an MLW World Heavyweight Champion there, holding the title for 819 days, which is the longest title reign in the history of MLW.
