Wrestler Profile

Jacob Fatu

Jacob Fatu arrived in WWE in 2024 with a reputation as the best-kept monster in wrestling. The Samoan Werewolf spent five years as MLW's dominant world champion, an agile 300-pounder who moonsaulted like a cruiserweight and hit like a truck.

A member of the Anoa'i dynasty, Fatu debuted as Solo Sikoa's enforcer in the renegade Bloodline, immediately producing show-stealing carnage — springboard moonsaults, running hip attacks and an unhinged intensity that made him an instant fan favorite even as a villain. He captured the United States Championship in 2025.

Fatu's ceiling is the subject of constant fan discussion, with many projecting a world championship future. On WrestleRanks, he is one of the fastest risers in weekly voting whenever he is unleashed on television.
