Drenched in darkness, the shirt portrays a fierce werewolf in putting white, its blood-red eyes ablaze with a primal starvation because it stands poised to strike. The design succinctly captures Fatu’s menacing essence, which was on full show final Friday.
Throughout the primary occasion of SmackDown, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes blended it up with The Bloodline’s self-professed new Head of the Desk, Solo Sikoa. As Rhodes started to sneak up on Sikoa to ship the Cross Rhodes, he was halted by Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. Earlier than The Bloodline may deal a decisive blow, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens stormed the ring and neutralized the Tongas, setting the stage for a cowardly three-on-one assault on Sikoa.
Cornered and seemingly helpless, Sikoa’s demeanor swiftly modified as Fatu exploded into the ring, decimating all three of Sikoa’s would-be attackers. Fatu capped off his arrival with a thunderous exclamation, driving Rhodes by way of the announcers’ desk with a bone-crushing splash from the highest rope. At a stay occasion in Bloomington, IL, final Saturday, Rhodes revealed that he sustained two damaged ribs from the brutal assault.
WWE’s introduction of Fatu was violently spectacular, instantly catapulting him right into a league with Jey Uso and “Stone Chilly” Steve Austin, all earlier than he’s had a match or delivered a single promo.
