Jacob Fatuâ€s quiet disappearance from WWE television left fans frustrated, especially after his strong start to 2025. But despite being off TV since August, a new update makes it clear: this wasnâ€t supposed to be a long-term thing.
According to Fightful Select, the time off was never intended to stretch out. “[He] was never supposed to miss much time,†the outlet wrote.
That adds context to a separate report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, where Dave Meltzer noted that: “Jacob Fatu will be back imminently.â€
Fatuâ€s last appearance came during the August 29 episode of SmackDown, where he helped Sami Zayn defeat Solo Sikoa to win the United States Championship. Fans thought that moment would catapult him into a bigger storyline. Instead, he vanished from TV and has only been seen in dark matches, which many saw as a step backward.
While it may have looked like WWE had dropped the ball on him, this update suggests the situation was never meant to derail his momentum. Now, all eyes are on what WWE does next with the “Samoan Werewolf.â€
