Dutch Mantell, a veteran WWE manager, shared his insights on Jacob Fatu’s remarkable debut on SmackDown, where the newcomer left an indelible mark with his powerful performance.
The blue brand’s main event featured Cody Rhodes facing off against Solo Sikoa, but the match was abruptly ended via disqualification after The Bloodline intervened. Kevin Owens and Randy Orton rushed to Rhodes’ aid, taking down the faction, but were then blindsided by Fatu’s explosive entrance.
On Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Smack Talk, Mantell expressed his awe at Fatu’s intensity, noting that WWE gave him a serious opportunity to shine against established stars like Owens, Orton, and Rhodes. Mantell emphasized that Fatu appeared unhinged and dangerous, warning that everyone should exercise caution around him. “He looked like a crazy man, and you don’t want to mess with someone like that,” Mantell said.
Mantell’s comments highlight the potential impact Fatu could have on the WWE landscape. His debut has already sent shockwaves through the locker room, and his presence in The Bloodline could seriously alter the faction’s dynamics.
If Roman Reigns returns to reclaim control of the group, it will be interesting to see how Fatu fits into the hierarchy. For now, one thing is certain – Jacob Fatu has made a lasting impact on SmackDown, and the wrestling world is eager to see what’s next for this volatile superstar.
