Jacob Fatu has been active in WWE since June 2024, and he is one of the biggest future prospects of the promotion. At first, he worked as a member of Solo Sikoa's Bloodline, and he was a heel during his early WWE career. Earlier this year, he started working as a singles wrestler, and he also turned babyface.
At WrestleMania 41, he defeated LA Knight to win the WWE United States Championship. But during the time he was still a heel. Later, he turned on Solo Sikoa and turned face. Instantly, he started a rivalry with Sikoa for the title. It continued for a month, and at the Night of Champions event, Jacob Fatu dropped the Championship.
The Miz praised Jacob Fatu
At Summerslam, Fatu challenged Sikoa for the WWE United States Championship in a Steel Cage match but lost the opportunity to win the title back. Former two times WWE World Champion The Miz recently talked about Fatu and shared massive praise for him. He also talked about working with wrestlers. Speaking on the “No-Contest Wrestling” podcast, he said;
Jacob Fatu made his WWE debut back in June 2024
“By the way, in the ring, if you’re in the ring with a Samoan and I know a lot of people won’t understand this. Samoans are just so smooth and so good. There’s a reason why Jimmy and Jey are at the top of where they’re at, where they become as a tag team, and the reason they’re there is because of how good they truly are.”
Fatu is presently out of action since dropping the WWE US title at SummerSlam
“I think Jacob, the world is his oyster. I think he has all the talent to become whatever he wants to be in this business. Because I watch and I see the little intricacies, the little things, the connection with the audience that they all have. I mean, you watch Jey come out there, the entire arena is erupting, and they feel that energy that they have. I think Jacob has that same energy when he’s in the ring. I want to see what he’s going to do next. So I really can’t wait to see what they’ll be able to do.”
After losing to Solo Sikoa at Summerslam inside the Steel Cage, Jacob Fatu was absent from WWE until the latest episode of SmackDown. It was also not confirmed whether he was injured. He made his return on SmackDown this week and instantly started a feud with Drew McIntyre.
