WWE US Champion Jacob Fatu reflects on his eventful first year with WWE, opening up about joining the prestigious wrestling family and capturing his inaugural WWE title.
During an interview on the Battleground podcast, Fatu shared the emotional impact of his championship win. He recalled, “It wasn’t until I returned to my hotel room late that night, just me and my son, that it truly hit me. My son was with me, and I hadn’t been there for him for a whole year.”
The Samoan Warlord’s debut was nothing short of impressive. He went head-to-head with top legends including Icon, Randy Orton, and Cody Rhodes in his first match.
Surprisingly, Fatu also revealed that he considers himself the biggest fan of his family. “If you ask me, I’m the biggest supporter of my family. I love them so much — I’m a huge fan of Rome, Jimmy, and Jay,” he admitted.
Winning the championship marked a significant turning point for Fatu, who faced uncertainty just a year prior. “Last year, I didn’t know where I was headed. I knew I had finished my contract, but thankfully, everything worked out in the end,” he reflected.
Fan Take: Jacob Fatu’s rise not only showcases the deep talent pool within WWE but also highlights the emotional and personal journeys behind the athleticism. His story adds a compelling narrative that can inspire fans and elevate the stakes for future WWE storylines.
