During today’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer provided an update on how The Bloodline will defend the WWE Tag Team Championships. It is said that the titles will be defended by “whoever two men Solo [Sikoa] picks.” While the idea hasn’t been explained on WWE TV just yet, this is the current plan to get around the “injured” Jacob Fatu. Meltzer said,

“So, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa can defend them, Jacob Fatu when he comes back can defend them. They never did explain this on television but this is the WWE explanation. Everything that’s happening with The Bloodline was planned to happen”

As we previously reported here on eWn, Fatu was said to be “hurting” after his table spot earlier this month at WWE SummerSlam 2024 and was spotted wearing a medical boot the following day.

Additionally, it was said that WWE wants to avoid any contact between Jacob Fatu and Roman Reigns on TV for the time being. Meltzer stated, “Essentially, the deal is that they’re basically trying to have Jacob Fatu completely avoid Roman Reigns because everyone has to sell for Roman Reigns and they want to keep Jacob Fatu special by not bumping around for Roman Reigns.”

Finally, it was added that Fatu will be “gone” while Roman is around until it becomes time for the two to lock up.
