Stay updated with the latest WWE news, rumors, spoilers, and match results on Jacob Fatu. From his fierce Bloodline run and United States Title reign to recent title loss and new tag team alliances, follow every major update on The Mist of Samoa.
Trained by his uncle Rikishi, Fatu debuted on September 22, 2012, and made a name for himself in Major League Wrestling. He held the MLW World Championship for a record-breaking 819 days and captured the MLW National Openweight Championship. In April 2024, Fatu debuted in WWE SmackDown as “The Samoan Werewolf,” joining Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline. He secured the WWE Tag Team Championship alongside Tama Tonga and became WWE United States Champion at WrestleMania 41 Night 1 (April 19, 2025). His reign ended on June 28, 2025, when Solo Sikoa dethroned him at Night of Champions. Post-match, Fatu turned face after a brutal betrayal by the new Bloodline faction.
Fatu is a member of the storied Anoaʻi wrestling dynasty—his father is former wrestler Sam Fatu (Tonga Kid), and his cousins include Roman Reigns, The Usos, Solo Sikoa, and Tama Tonga. He has seven children, though details are kept private. He credits his troubled youth, including time spent in jail at age 18, as motivation for his wrestling path. Fatu is now a high-stakes solo competitor embroiled in a dissension-driven storyline, positioning him as one of SmackDown’s most dynamic faces.
