Jacob Fatu discusses JC Mateo's presence in WWE.
At WWE Backlash last month, JC Mateo made his WWE debut, assisting Jacob Fatu in a United States title defense, despite Fatu being out of the loop on Mateo's appearance. The pair have been on the same page along with Solo Sikoa ever since, and now Fatu has more to say about Mateo.
While speaking on the Battleground podcast, Jacob spoke about Mateo and the rest of The Bloodline, noting that Mateo is deserving of being in WWE.
"The Bloodline has always been The Bloodline, we’re talking about coming from the OG, from the top dog Roman, (The) Usos, Solo. It’s just like what I said at the press conference. I can’t really even speak on it because at the end of the day, we can say this and that, but you know what? It ain’t no jealousy. It ain’t nothing else beyond that. At the end of the day he deserves to be in WWE. He deserves to be there, especially after all the stuff that he’s been through."
Mateo recently revealed he had been working with NJPW on a handshake deal before his WWE contract was being finalized. You can read more about that here.
