Jacob Fatu: Me Getting Cheered Happened Organically, I Don’t Think This Was Supposed To Happen
Jacob Fatu does not think he was supposed to get these reactions.
It has been a full year since Jacob Fatu arrived at WWE. He debuted in the summer of 2024, and fast-forward to present day, Fatu has competed at WrestleMania, in WarGames, and held the United States Championship.
Fatu has been garnering favorable reactions from the audiences at WWE shows, even when he was positioned as a heel. While speaking to Jay Reddick of the Orlando Sentinel, Fatu stated that him getting cheered happened organically.
“All of this (getting cheered) happened organically. I don’t think this was supposed to happen, but it happened. Me and The Usos and Solo (Sikoa), all of our real last names are Fatu, so the fun part of being a babyface is just hearing them chant ‘Fatu.’ I know it makes our fathers happy; I know it makes our families happy and man, it makes me happy. I’m having fun, and thank God my kids are old enough to see it and recognize it.”
Fatu last wrestled on television on the August 15th edition of Friday Night SmackDown. He’s done house shows and dark matches since then.
