One WWE Friday Night SmackDown star is reportedly returning very soon. Jacob Fatu is set to make his way back to TV.
WWE is riding high with a big storyline involving the "OTC" Roman Reigns and the new Bloodline, but there was one noticeable absence during a recent episode of SmackDown. Jacob Fatu wasn't present following SummerSlam 2024, which saw him hit Cody Rhodes with a splash onto an announce table that may have led to a legitimate injury.Wrestling Observer Radio
claims that WWE planned to use Fatu's spot at SummerSlam as a strategy to keep him away from Roman Reigns, as that is a match that will be built down the road. It was noted in the Wrestling Observer Radio report that whether or not Fatu was legitimately banged up isn't being disputed, but WWE had planned for Jacob to sell an injury to avoid taking bumps for Roman right away.
Eventually, Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu will have to lock horns, but it appears WWE is building suspense until the company is ready to pull the trigger.Fernando has over a decade of combat sports news writing experience.
