Rikishi further added that WWE has to change a few things about Jacob Fatu's character and how he's portrayed on-screen, to make him seem like a strong opponent for Roman Reigns.
"I feel we need to, you know, really brand him. He's branded, he does ... he did his branding on the independent," said the Hall of Famer. "We need to put him on TV matches, give him like three, four minutes, you know, let's spice up. I think they can do better with, as far as his intro. We need something exactly what the Bloodline is: dramatic."

The WWE legend rounded off by saying that when Reigns feuds with The Bloodline, he should go up against Solo Sikoa, at first, and Jacob Fatu later. He feels that a feud between Reigns and Fatu should happen when the latter is ready for it.
He also added that Fatu's ambush on Reigns should have been more vicious than what it was. Rikishi thinks that Fatu hasn't been booked to his full potential but feels that will change in due time. Rikishi has been impressed with Fatu's performance in WWE so far, since his debut in June.
