Jacob Fatu has been one of the fastest rising stars on WWE television.
He debuted in summer of 2024, adding another member to WWE’s roster coming from the vast Samoan family tree that includes Roman Reigns, The Uso’s, The Rock and many more.
Fatu wrestled around the world for independent companies with the goal always to get to WWE with his family. A criminal past including several years of incarceration was something difficult for WWE to look past for many years despite his talent.
In our interview, he talks about past WWE tryouts and that his journey to get to WWE was exactly what it was supposed to be. We also talk his unique style of talking on the microphone, WWE being his first time he ever stepped out of the United States, and his reaction to NFL’s Tom Brady calling WWE “cute.”
Jacob Fatu and WWE are coming to PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh on Friday, March 27.
