It has been reported that we could see Jacob Fatu’s return to the WWE imminently
Jacob Fatu has not been seen on WWE TV since the October 17 episode of SmackDown, after he was written off TV in a backstage segment where he was found by officials under some trussing and bleeding heavily from the mouth with what appeared to be teeth lying on the ground next to him.
It was reported that this angle was used to allow Fatu time off to get the dental surgery that he needed, and his feud with Solo Sikoa was halted. Now, according to PWInsider, there apparently was talk of Fatu backstage at Survivor Series, and the chatter suggests that Fatu could be returning to our screens very soon.
Although there hasn’t been any specific date, sources within the company have suggested that Fatu could be back on the road within the next few weeks.
Who Attacked Jacob Fatu On SmackDown?
It is not known who attacked Jacob Fatu on SmackDown, although Fatu was scheduled to face Drew McIntyre in the main event of that show to determine the number one contender for Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Title, which could mean McIntyre took out his competition so that he could face Rhodes for the title unimpeded.
There have been some interesting fan theories online about Fatu’s attack, with some fans believing that it may be revealed that Rhodes was behind the attack, and he will turn heel in the process, which would lead to a match between Rhodes and Fatu for the title down the line.
