Since joining WWE, Jacob Fatu has made an immediate impact by taking down multiple WWE superstars. He has amazed fans with his incredible athleticism, performing feats that one wouldn’t expect from someone his size. The Samoan Werewolf also captured the tag team titles but was later stripped of them. According to some rumors, his loss of the championship led to a backstage altercation between him and WWE CCO Triple H.
Jacob Fatu‘s uncle, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, shared his opinion on the rumors. While speaking on the Off the Top podcast, the Attitude Era legend quickly debunked the speculation about an altercation between the 32-year-old star and Triple H. He stated that his nephew is very humble and would never disrespect his boss.
Rikishi also emphasized that Fatu would never disrespect any of his family, cousins, or fellow workers. However, the Hall of Famer warned that one shouldn’t get on his bad side. Rumors suggested there was a heated discussion between both parties after the 32-year-old star was ordered by Solo Sikoa to relinquish his title to Tonga Loa.
We're going to crush that rumor, right now. Jacob would never, ever, ever disrespect Triple H period. Nor would he disrespect me, anybody older in our family, or even his own cousins. Or even the workers there. That's not in that kid's bones. Now, if you cross that kid, it's a whole new different story.Rikishi on Jacob Fatu via Off The Top podcast
On the latest episode of SmackDown, he and his Tribal Chief confronted Cody Rhodes and the returning Roman Reigns. Earlier in the night, Solo lost to the current Undisputed champ in a steel cage match. After a lot of chaos, The American Nightmare and his WrestleMania rival, Reigns, decided to team up against The Bloodline. Jacob and Solo will face the “Mega Powers” in a tag match at the Bad Blood PLE.
Rikishi believes that Jimmy Uso will find himself and break out like his brother Jey Uso did
The Usos are considered one of the most celebrated tag teams in WWE history. Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso are the longest-reigning tag team champions, having held the titles for a record 622 days. However, The Yeet Master emerged as the more dominant personality compared to his brother, particularly following his victory at WrestleMania XL. Rikishi has expressed his views on the progress of his sons.
While speaking on his podcast, the Hall of Famer noted that Jimmy and Jey have very different personalities. He admitted that Jey got a strong head start and was doing his thing very well. However, Rikishi also said that it wouldn’t take long for Jimmy to reach the same heights as Jey, whether he went solo or teamed up with Jey and Reigns again.
I think me knowing my boys, the twins, personally, they both got attitudes, man. It just so happened that Jey took off and is doing his thing. I think it won't take long for Jimmy to find himself to be able to come up with his own deal.Rikishi on Jimmy Uso via Off The Top podcast
Jimmy was attacked by Solo and his new associate, Tama Tonga, after losing his match against Jey at WrestleMania XL. Many fans are predicting that he will reunite with his Tribal Chief and seek revenge against Solo and company.
