Former MLW champion Jacob Fatu signs with WWE

Multiple sources have reported that Jacob Fatu, the former MLW champion, has signed with WWE. The news was originally broken by Fightful Wrestling via their Select service.

Fatu, 31 years old, is the cousin of The Usos, Solo Sikoa, and Roman Reigns and could very well be the next member of the Bloodline faction.

He became a free agent in February after spending five successful years with Major League Wrestling. He holds the record of the longest reign as MLW champion with a total of 819 days with the title.

Jacob is the son of Sam Fatu, who wrestled as The Tonga Kid and Tama, and is the brother of Umaga and Rikishi.
