Tom Lawlor sees big things in Jacob Fatu’s future.

Jacob Fatu was one of MLW’s top stars, and fans often buzzed about him potentially joining The Bloodline in WWE. Fatu made his long-awaited WWE debut on the June 21st episode of WWE SmackDown and joined the stable. Since then, he has mixed it up with Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, among other stars.

Speaking with Steven Muehlhausen on Walkway To Fight Club, former MLW World Heavyweight Champion Tom Lawlor was asked to share his thoughts on Jacob Fatu’s run in WWE so far.

“It’s awesome to see because it’s one of those things, you kind of know this guy’s special, but you never know if everybody sees it, whether the higher-ups at a company are gonna see it, and I think obviously they put a big focus on him. The stuff he can do in the ring is incredible. He’s one of the best athletes that I’ve ever seen in a professional wrestling ring, especially for his size. Just to know that WWE sees that talent in him and is willing to give him a chance so quickly, it’s pretty awesome. In the long run, he’s gonna be the one at the top of the card as a singles act, you can already tell. He’s gonna be so over as a babyface. His move set and his skills and the way he moves are already kind of tailored to it in the long run, but the fans are clamoring for it now. They wanted him to take that title shot against Cody Rhodes. They’ve already done a good job setting it up with taking the tag title away from him, now taking away his shot at Cody Rhodes. So when he finally does get these matches, the crowd’s gonna be going wild,” Lawlor said.

Matt Hardy has said that he thinks that Jacob Fatu could headline WrestleMania. Check out his comments here.
