Jacob Fatu Reunites with The Boogeyman Amid Injury Hiatus from WWE
Jacob Fatu is currently on an injury hiatus from WWE, but recently, he shared a heartfelt reunion with veteran legend The Boogeyman. The two have a meaningful past, as The Boogeyman often looked out for and guided the 33-year-old star during his time on the independent wrestling scene.
In 2024, Jacob Fatu received his massive break in the industry when he joined Friday Night SmackDown, aligning himself as Solo Sikoa’s personal enforcer. Over the following months, The Samoan Werewolf established his own identity and caught the attention of fans worldwide. This rise culminated in championship gold at WrestleMania 41, where Fatu captured the United States Championship.
Although he is currently sidelined due to injury, Fatu reunited with The Boogeyman in a video posted on WWE’s YouTube channel. During this touching moment, Fatu spoke highly of the veteran, describing him as a big brother figure who showed unwavering support on the independent circuit.
“It’s big, bro, man. One love. I love you so much, man. I love you. You know, man, when it comes to the love for me, with us, man, Unc has done nothing but just guided us and showed us nothing but love on the road. I mean, I don’t want to get emotional, but before WWE, man, I was grinding on the independent scene, and this was a big brother who was always there, just nothing but love, man,” Fatu said.

What Happened to Jacob Fatu on WWE SmackDown?
Following his historic United States Championship win at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, Jacob Fatu dominated the men’s division on SmackDown. His reign sparked a notable storyline with Solo Sikoa, who became the first wrestler to defeat The Samoan Werewolf in a singles match and went on to capture the title.
The two engaged in a heated feud for several months. Fatu’s rivalry eventually culminated at WWE SummerSlam 2025 in New Jersey, where he lost a brutal Steel Cage match. Shortly afterward, Fatu mysteriously disappeared from WWE programming.
He made a return following Wrestlepalooza, beginning an intense storyline with Drew McIntyre. However, a non-wrestling-related injury forced Fatu to drop the angle prematurely. Earlier this month, WWE scripted a brutal attack by McIntyre on Fatu, effectively writing him off television, with reports suggesting that Fatu will remain sidelined for the rest of the year.
Fans await the return of The Samoan Werewolf, hoping for a full recovery and a strong comeback to the WWE roster.
