Jacob Fatu has revealed his WWE WrestleMania 41 special moment.
Last week at WrestleMania 41, ‘The Samoan Werewolf’ Jacob Fatu defeated LA Knight to win his first United States Championship. Fatu marked his first singles title win on the main roster with his Bloodline by his side.
However, despite winning the gold at the event, Fatu recently revealed his special moment from the PLE. Speaking on the latest edition of the Club 520 Podcast, Fatu claimed,
“I remember looking out a jail cell window, man, to looking out, you feel me, looking out of an airplane, man, you know, just on the way. But, it was very special just to definitely have my son over here, Johnny Fatu, shouts to the family. But definitely for my parents to pull up. But not only that, man. Last time WrestleMania IX was in Las Vegas, you know. I mean, last time WrestleMania was in Las Vegas, it was WrestleMania IX and my wife always says this, man.
History always repeats itself. So for us to double back and for another Anoaʻi, Roman Reigns to main event in Las Vegas but also to have the Fatu’s on here man it just don’t get no better. It really doesn’t, it’s just a special moment. But for real, though, bruh that was hella cool.”

WWE Legend Claims Jacob Fatu Is A Future ‘Main Event Draw’
“I think if especially his character and promo work, if he can get down his character and his promo work is up to task for what people want and what he’s doing, I think Jacob Fatu can be a really really big deal. I think Jacob Fatu can be someone who can be a big deal and a main event draw in WWE when it’s all said and done.”
“Because he’s huge. He’s incredibly talented. He’s very versatile, he can do a little bit of everything. If you need him to be strong as shit, he’s powerful, he can fly, he’s agile, he has all of these physical gifts right and he has this demeanor to him where he looks like a legit wild man where I’d be afraid to be in a room alone with him because he looks insane. It’s one of those things, a big part of all that, if he is going to showcase all of his physical abilities and how far he can go in the business and things he can do, it’s also going to have to match his in-ring promos.
I think it could be shorter or smaller, I don’t think he has to have these long 12 minute promos that are huge. But, it has to be words that he is speaking and whatever he is spewing, whatever he is saying, people have to believe it with all of their heart and he has to say it with all of his chest. That’s the most important thing as far as making a connection with everybody in the audience, they have to believe everything you’re saying.”
