During SmackDown at the Capital One Arena, Jacob Fatu engaged in a series of notable interactions, including exchanges with Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre before being involved in a backstage incident. The New Bloodline member’s attack on a WWE official raises questions about potential disciplinary action from SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis.
Given Fatu’s scheduled participation in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match against Damian Priest and Braun Strowman, immediate removal from the arena appears unlikely. However, Aldis, who has established himself as one of the more assertive authority figures in recent WWE history, may consider alternative penalties such as monetary fines.
This incident continues a pattern of aggressive behavior from Fatu toward WWE officials, though previous instances have not resulted in formal punishment. Aldis could implement measures ranging from financial penalties to a post-Elimination Chamber suspension, establishing clear consequences for such actions while maintaining order on SmackDown.
The situation adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing Bloodline narrative as WWE approaches the Elimination Chamber premium live event in Toronto.
