In the world of WWE, the league’s dominance is short-lived, but when a new wrestler emerges with a whirlwind of energy, the wrestling world takes notice. Jacob Fatou, son of “The Tonga Kid”, did just that. From his spectacular debut on June 21st to his surprise victory, Fatu quickly made a name for himself in WWE. But along with other rapid developments come gossip, rumors, and theories. The biggest thing? Jacob Fatou is working undercover for the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns.
The Resurrection of Jacob Fatou
Jacob Fatu’s arrival in WWE was a surprise. Fatu appeared on an episode of Friday Night SmackDown to confront WWE champions Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, and Cody Rhodes in a surprise attack. This move immediately thrust him into the spotlight of the WWE Universe as he associated himself with the new incarnation of The Bloodline, led by Solo Sikoa. Fatu’s streak continued a few weeks later when he replaced the injured Tonga Loa, teaming with Tama Tonga to steal the title from Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano in front of the Cleveland crowd.
WWE executives were reportedly shocked by Fatu’s strength and power. His ability to increase his ferocity in the ring made him a constant threat to anyone who dared to step between the ropes with him. However, Fatu’s meteoric rise took a sudden hit at SummerSlam, when an injury during a risky move seemed to halt his momentum. Is it true?
Handicrafts or bad?
The injury occurred in the main event of SummerSlam when Fatu jumped from the top rope onto Cody Rhodes, who was lying on the announce table. The impact was very strong, Fatu’s legs were the most affected. In the beginning, the injury looked bad and Fatu was sidelined for a long time. But in the world of WWE, things are not as peaceful as they seem.
Rumor has it that Fatou’s injury was a hoax. This speculation stems from Fatu’s recent absence from WWE events, particularly his decision not to be a part of Friday Night SmackDown. The most popular theory is that Fatu never died, but little has been said about orders since the return of the Roman Empire.
Hear me out,
What if Jacob Fatu “faked” his injury because he KNEW Roman was coming and Roman told him not to get involved since he is the Original Tribal Chief. To let him handle business and stay out of the way.

Binary representation theory
According to a popular theory shared by a fan on Twitter, Roman Reigns, who has won the title of Reign of Nations, ordered Jacob Fatou to fake an injury and stay out of view. Thoughts? Reigns wants to dethrone Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa without interference to establish his reign as the ultimate dynasty leader. Fan theories suggest that Fatu’s injury is part of a larger plan to strengthen Reigns’ status in WWE.
“Listen to me, how Jacob Fatu looks bad because he knew Roman was coming and Roman told him not to join because he’s a real boss,” he said. A Twitter user wrote, ”Because of this Jacob turns to Solo and joins Roman.”
When Solo mentioned Roman the camera started zooming into Jacob Fatu 👀👀
I wonder where this could be going 👀

Friday night fight: The signs start to appear
Fatu’s absence from the SmackDown match on the night of Roman Reigns’ return made matters even stronger. It’s not just that Reigns is back, it’s another story. He wipes out the new blood team, beats up Solo Sikoa, and uses iron chairs and shields to keep Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga out. The message is clear: Reigns is back, and he won’t cede his throne to anyone.
But that’s not the only sign that Fatou is playing a deeper game. On a recent episode of SmackDown, the cameras caught a brief but memorable moment when Solo Sikoa addressed the crowd and announced that he was the new Chief of Staff.
As Sikoa mentions Roman Reigns, the camera cuts to Jacob Fatou, who is standing behind Sikoa with a serious look on his face. Fatu narrowed his eyes, and there was a bright light on his cold face – anger? Maybe hope? It’s a moment, but in the WWE, every conversation has more meaning, and there’s more to the conversation.
Is the party in Berlin a place to show the truth?
WWE’s next big live event, The Bash, will take place in Berlin on August 31, and now all eyes are on Jacob Fatu. Will he show his true potential at the Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany? Could Fatu’s injury lead to one of WWE’s scariest tricks? Fans and analysts are excited to see how this story unfolds.
Possible outcomes
If this theory is true and Jacob Fatu is secretly working for Roman Reigns, it will have a huge impact on WWE. That betrayal will not only shake the foundations of the dynasty but also lead to a major change in the power dynamics in the WWE. A more dominant Reigns cements his status as the undisputed champion, while Fatu cements his status as the most skilled and badass wrestler in the business.
The world of wrestling thrives on drama, intrigue, and unexpected twists, and this storyline is in every way one of the most memorable in recent WWE history. But until Fatu does, the WWE Universe can only speculate and wait with bated breath. Will Jacob Fatu release Solo Sikoa and rejoin the Roman Empire? Or is this all to distract fans and keep them? One thing is for sure: when it comes to WWE, expect the unexpected.
