Jacob Fatu’s WWE return is expected soon following a two-month absence from WWE SmackDown programming. The wrestler, known for his impactful presence as part of Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline 2.0 faction, disappeared suddenly after an intense United States Title match at SummerSlam.
Details on Jacob Fatu’s Upcoming Return to WWE
According to Dave Meltzer’s latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Jacob Fatu is set to make an immediate comeback to WWE television. Despite his unexpected break from WWE events, no injuries or complications have been reported that might delay his return. His last WWE appearance was on August 3, during night two of SummerSlam, where he lost the United States Title to Solo Sikoa.
Fatu had raised his profile significantly by shifting from a heel character within the Bloodline 2.0 faction to a top babyface, even securing the United States Title in the process. Before his absence, he was engaged in a feud with The MFT stable, which includes Solo Sikoa, JC Mateo, Talla Tonga, and Tonga Loa. During this period, he was aligned with Sami Zayn and Jimmy Uso. However, circumstances have changed, with Zayn now pursuing his own path as United States Champion and Jimmy Uso currently featured on RAW alongside his brother Jey Uso.
Context and Possible Ramifications of Fatu’s Return
The return of Jacob Fatu is likely to significantly impact WWE storylines, especially those involving The MFT and the Bloodline factions. Fatu’s history of high-profile matches and character evolution has made him a pivotal figure on WWE SmackDown, and his reemergence could bring fresh momentum to ongoing rivalries. As the company expects his presence soon, fans and analysts alike await how his storyline will develop, particularly in relation to other key figures such as Solo Sikoa, Sami Zayn, and the Uso brothers.
