A WWE superstar who knows Jacob Fatu well has used an expletive to warn the wrestlers on SmackDown.

The WWE SmackDown main event in Chicago was a match between the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa. Predictably, there was a disqualification after two minutes when The Bloodline’s Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa went into the ring to attack Cody.

There was some backup for Cody Rhodes as well because former WWE Champion Randy Orton and former WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens were there to make the save. Just when it looked like Cody, Randy and Kevin would take care of Solo with a 3-on-1 attack, that’s when Jacob Fatu made his highly anticipated debut that saw him hit superkicks on the three babyfaces. Jacob is the first cousin of Solo Sikoa and The Usos.

In the final moments of the show, Jacob Fatu had a dominant performance as he hit a Samoan Drop on Owens on the steel steps and he also connected with a Spear on Orton that put the Viper through the barricade.

As for Cody Rhodes, Jacob beat him up and put him on the commentary table. That led to Jacob going to the top rope where he jumped off with an incredible Superfly Splash that put Cody through the table.

Karrion Kross is a man who crossed paths with Jacob Fatu many times in his career. On Twitter/X, the Raw brand star Kross had some advice for the Smackdown roster.

I’ve been fighting Jacob Fatu for over 10 years all over the continent from east to west…

Trust me when I say this: #Smackdownis in DEEP s**t.

Good luck.

Jacob Fatu’s Past May Prevent Him From Appearing At Some WWE Shows

While Jacob Fatu is an incredible professional wrestler who will likely impress the WWE Universe, his controversial background may have been what prevented him from joining WWE sooner.

It was reported by Fightful Select that Fatu has never wrestled outside of the USA. Sources in his previous promotion, MLW, noted that it was because of Fatu’s criminal record since he was arrested for a robbery when he was 18 years old. Fatu is 32 years old now.

Due to his past, it’s unknown if Fatu will be able to participate in WWE shows outside of the US. The next WWE PLE is on July 6th in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with Smackdown also taking place in Toronto one night earlier.
