WWE Superstar Jacob Fatu recently opened up about a potential alliance with Roman Reigns and The Usos to take on Solo Sikoaโ€™s MFT faction, as well as dream opponents he hopes to face in the future.

During his appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Fatu was asked about the idea of teaming with Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso in a blockbuster showdown, possibly at Survivor Seriesโ€”against Solo Sikoaโ€™s group.

Fatu admitted he hadnโ€™t thought about the scenario before, but he lit up at the possibility: โ€œYeah, bro, you know, we just split, but, uh, I never even thought about that. But, man, bro, that dude, man, that do sound good, because obviously, bro, your boy needs some help, right? No, but hey, man, I never thought about that, man. But, uh, it will be good once againโ€ฆI mean, that would be a special moment for me. I mean not for me, but everybody. But nah, that never crossed my mind though.โ€

Beyond The Bloodline storyline, Fatu was asked about dream matches heโ€™d like to have. Without hesitation, he named Jeff Hardy, a wrestling icon with legendary runs in WWE, TNA/Impact, and AEW: โ€œJeff Hardy, man, I want to have a match with Jeff. Man, one of the dopest. Man, yeah. I mean, Jeff.โ€

He also revealed his admiration for former WWE Cruiserweight and Tag Team Champion Tajiri, adding: โ€œIโ€™m a huge fan of Tajiri.โ€

Fatu reflected on the wide variety of talent in WWE today, praising the versatility of the roster and recalling advice he received about adapting to different styles in the ring: โ€œMan, eventually, obviously, all the gentlemen here, man, you know, everybody here, because everybodyโ€™s a great worker. You know, I was very blessed to even work with Bostonโ€™s own man, Carmelo Hayes. Andrade Ciampa, Johnny. I mean, you know, I used to watch these catsโ€ฆ Man, thereโ€™s a lot of cats, though, you know. my uncle taught usโ€ฆyou got to learn how to gel with everybody if you want to really know how to move around here. So just anybody.โ€

Interestingly, Fatuโ€™s comments come just as the possibility of a Bloodline reunion is starting to take shape on WWE television. On the August 15 edition of SmackDown, Fatu teamed with Jimmy Uso and Sami Zayn to defeat Solo Sikoa and the MFT members JC Mateo and Tonga Loa in a six-man tag team match. With Jey Uso currently on Raw and Roman Reigns expected to return soon as part of his ongoing feud with The Vision, the inter-family conflict continues to be one of WWEโ€™s most compelling storylines.
