WWE Superstar Jacob Fatu, the newest member of The Bloodline, suffered a serious injury at SummerSlam. Fans began speculating whether Fatu would be sidelined for the foreseeable future. Triple H even addressed Fatu's injury during the post-show press conference.
THE TRUTH BEHIND Jacob Fatu's SummerSlam Injury & The Future of The Bloodline
Fatu was injured during the highly anticipated match between Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa for the WWE Undisputed Title. The match was disrupted by The Bloodline members Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton. Amidst the chaos, Fatu made a notable impact. When he attempted to take Rhodes off the top rope onto the commentary table, his leg hit the edge of the table, causing him pain and making it difficult for him to walk.
Following the injury, Roman Reigns made his long-awaited return, attacking Solo Sikoa. Meanwhile, Jacob Fatu had disappeared from the scene of the crime. The next day, a video surfaced of Fatu wearing a walking boot, seemingly confirming his injury. However, recent reports have cast doubt on whether Fatu is actually injured or if the injury is part of the storyline. It seems that Fatu is using the leg injury as part of a planned angle.
WWE Superstar Jacob Fatu, who was seen limping after his splash on Cody Rhodes at the commentary table, was actually planning to sell the leg injury as part of the storyline. Reports from Fightful Select and Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer confirm that this was intended to keep him out of a showdown with Roman Reigns following his return at the end of WWE SummerSlam.
