Jey Uso’s past year in WWE has been filled with highs and lows, but the fact of the matter is it made him a main-event talent.
The fans clearly adore him and want to see him succeed.
This same sentiment, however, does not ring true when it comes to the rest of The Bloodline.
The faction added another brand-new member this past Friday night. Jacob Fatu finally arrived at World Wrestling Entertainment.
Fatu made a lasting impression in the eyes of fans, as the commentators echoed that a werewolf had been let loose on SmackDown. Jey has now revealed on social media that despite being on RAW, he is aware of what went down on the blue brand. Jey Uso simply left a “👀” in the comments section of WWE’s social media post.
You can check out Jey Uso’s reaction below:
Meanwhile, Uso is preparing for arguably his most important match to date. He qualified for the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match on July 6. He will fight five other competitors for a shot at the MITB contract. The others who have already qualified include Carmelo Hayes and Andrade, who secured their spots on SmackDown.
Jacob Fatu’s WWE debut was delayed owing to his past
Jacob Fatu signed with WWE in April but his on-screen debut was evidently delayed until the June 21 episode of SmackDown. Fightful Select has shed some light on the reasons now.
The former MLW World Heavyweight Champion has not wrestled outside the United States, which is a source of concern owing to the sports entertainment giant’s increased number of international shows this year.
MLW sources have confirmed that this was because of Fatu’s criminal record from when he was much younger. He was incarcerated for armed robbery at the age of 18, and he was purportedly inspired to step into the pro-wrestling scene after watching his cousins, The Usos, on television, while in jail.
The report also states that a backstage source pointed to how in the past, World Wrestling Entertainment would have passed on signing Fatu. But the new regime had been eyeing the 32-year-old for a while now.
In Jacob Fatu’s debut, he took out Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens. This is a clear sign that the company is high on Fatu and his addition to The Bloodline is a tried-and-tested successful formula in the past, meaning a strong push is likely coming.
