LA Knight (YEAH!) is barely a month removed from winning the United States Championship back from Shinsuke Nakamura, yet he’s already got a massive battle on his plate as he prepares to face the Bloodline’s Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania 41.
After Roman Reigns defeated Solo Sikoa to reclaim the “Tribal Chief” title in January, WrestleMania seems like the perfect opportunity to shake the Bloodline up even further. A loss for Jacob Fatu could be the motivation Fatu needs to leave the Bloodline once and for all, like some fans have been clamoring for. At the same time, a win could elevate him to the point where he is willing to challenge Reigns for the Tribal Chief title.
Fatu has established himself as one of the most dangerous, unhinged men in WWE and his No. 1 contender match against Braun Strowman only strengthened his fear factor.
Here’s everything to know about the highly-anticipated match between LA Knight and Jacob Fatu.

WrestleMania 41: LA Knight vs. Jacob Fatu prediction
Although LA Knight has only held the title for a short time, this match could go either way. The Bloodline’s storyline has certainly dropped off in popularity among fans, but Fatu remains a can’t-miss entertainer with arguably the greatest fear factor in the business. Giving Fatu the opportunity to stand above the rest of his faction could make for a good storyline moving forward. It also gives WWE many avenues to take Fatu’s character. Prediction: Jacob Fatu wins
