Jacob Fatu At Risk Of Being Fired by WWE
Jacob Fatu says that he might get fired by WWE.
Fatu is currently embroiled in a rivalry with Drew McIntyre. This past edition of Friday Night SmackDown saw the two stars brawling all over the arena and backstage area. They were supposed to have a match, but it never took place because of that. Clearly, the two stars are out for each other’s blood.
Speaking in a recent interview on the Bootleg Kev podcast, Fatu opened up about his rivalry with McIntyre. Fatu began by saying that he respects Drew McIntyre’s accomplishments but also sees himself on the same elite level.
Jacob Fatu believes he is one of the toughest and most dangerous wrestlers right now and that he should not be underestimated.
“Bro, I’m one of the coldest cats out here. I’m one of the coldest cats, man. Don’t get it twisted. Okay, we could say Jacob had a hard life, I made changes — nah, this ain’t that. Drop all that. I’m talking about right now. Drew’s accomplished a whole lot. I’m not taking nothing away from Drew, bro. Drew is one of the baddest cats on the planet.”
“I haven’t been in WWE that long, but don’t get it twisted — I’m one of the bad cats. I’m one of the dopest, bro. I’m one of the hardest cats up in there for sure. I will slap the s*** out of you and smile and give you a hug right after.”
Jacob Fatu Is Willing To Do Anything To Take Down Drew McIntyre
Jacob Fatu stated that he fights to provide for his family, and because of that, he is willing to go to extreme lengths to win his battle against Drew McIntyre. Fatu noted that his rivalry has gotten so personal and intense that he might do something so extreme that it could even lead to WWE firing him.
“But what I’m trying to say is, I’m a man, bro. I got my kids. There’s no, ‘Oh, good luck,’ or ‘Take your best shot, try again.’ No, man, we’re not doing that. I’m a man. Drew’s a man. I don’t need a title, bro. I’m not wrestling for a title. I didn’t come here for that. I came here to make money, to take care of my family.”
“When you bring up Jacob Fatu, bro, you’re going to feel this. You’re going to feel the whole Sacramento. You’re going to feel the whole NorCal. You’re going to feel this. This isn’t just some life-changing story — somebody’s going to lose, bro. Let’s keep it 100. I’m looking dead in the camera — I’m not losing… it is what it is. It’s on sight. We’re going to take it day by day. Y’all have been seeing it — day in, day out, week by week.””
“Now you’re bringing it up, and you’re bringing it up for a good reason because I’ve been a little hot. Even the company knows I’ll get released from this if it goes too far. Because if we really want to take it there, we’re talking about taking food off my family’s table. And in this company, you’ve seen it before — one loss. I just got here. There’s no way in hell I’m going down like that.”
“But yeah, to tap back in, it is what it is. It’s on sight. We’re going to take it day by day. Y’all have been seeing it — day in, day out, week by week.”
