Jacob Fatu recently made his return to WWE to start a mega rivalry with the Scottish Psychopath Drew McIntyre. He confronted the Scottish professional wrestler during a segment in SmackDown, where he ended up attacking the former World Champion, which also began a mega rivalry between the two.
A backstage segment was also seen in a recent episode of Smackdown, where Drew McIntyre was desperate for revenge on Fatu as he attacked the 33 year old and beat him down. It was also confirmed that both of these wrestlers would be present in the upcoming episode of SmackDown to continue their rivalry.
Jacob Fatu is out of action with an injury
But recent reports from Bodyslam suggest that Jacob Fatu has suffered an injury recently which is going to be quite deadly. Bodyslam also confirmed that this injury will keep the former WWE United States champion out of action for the rest of the year, and he will not be able to return before 2026.

Fatu remained out of action for a couple of weeks before returning recently. He challenged Solo Sikoa for the WWE United States Championship at SummerSlam inside a Steel Cage. After losing this match, he remained out of action for a while. It was never confirmed whether he was out of action due to any injury.
Fatu started a rivalry with Drew McIntyre prior to the injury
It is quite unfortunate that he just returned to WWE to start a mega few to the former World Champion, and now he will be out of action for an indefinite period. He had been projected as one of the biggest rising talents of the promotion, but such long injuries will definitely cause damage to his WWE career.
Bodyslam also confirmed that Jacob Fatu will be returning at some point in 2026, which makes it pretty clear that he will be out of action for the rest of the year. But since it is only October, we can still hope that the Samoan Werewolf gets to return before WrestleMania 42 so that he can have a big match at the biggest stage of them all.
