Jacob Fatu is reportedly set to return soon.
On the October 16 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Jacob Fatu was seen laid out backstage moments before he was set to take on Drew McIntyre. The following day, it emerged via PWInsider Elite that ‘The Samoan Werewolf’ was recovering from a dental procedure, with the company hopeful he’d be back soon. Now, it seems as if Fatu may soon return to our screens.
According to a new update from PWInsider Elite, it’s believed Jacob Fatu could be close to a return to WWE programming, with it noted he could be back as soon as the next few weeks.
“There was talk backstage at WWE Survivor Series that Jacob Fatu is close to returning to WWE storylines after taking time off to recover from a dental procedure. One source believed Jacob could be back on the road within the next few weeks but an exact date hasn’t been confirmed.”

In the October 13 edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer revealed that Fatu was initially scheduled to compete in this past weekend’s men’s War Games match. With his dental procedure having reportedly shifted creative plans, attention now turns to how WWE chooses to re-introduce the former United States Champion to storylines when he returns.
Fatu’s most recent televised match came on the August 15 edition of SmackDown, although, factoring in live events and dark matches, he last competed on September 12. We look forward to seeing him return to the ring in the near future.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on Jacob Fatu as soon as we hear more.
