Jacob Fatu's Future Uncertain Amid Suspension Threat
WWE's SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis is considering suspending top wrestler Jacob Fatu for disobeying his orders, potentially impacting not only Fatu's career but also the future of other top wrestlers, including LA Knight and Roman Reigns, ahead of the 2025 Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 41.
Fatu, along with Tama Tonga, ignored Aldis' order to leave the arena and returned to cause trouble, leading to a disqualification win in LA Knight's title rematch with Shinsuke Nakamura. This actions may have major consequences, as Aldis could not only suspend Fatu but also bring down Tama Tonga for accompanying him. The possible suspension could potentially impact LA Knight's future, as he may be benched for an extended period, giving other wrestlers like Bron Breakker on the RAW brand an opening to mount a title challenge.
Roman Reigns, currently the biggest star in WWE, was originally set to face Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania 41. However, after The Rock's return at Bad Blood, plans changed and the match was postponed to later in 2025. WWE has been building towards WrestleMania 41 as the greatest show in sports entertainment history, but with The Rock's future uncertain, the Grandest Stage of Them All remains shrouded in unpredictability, leaving fans wondering who will face Roman Reigns in Sin City this April. Potential opponents for Reigns at WrestleMania 41 include Kenny Omega and Drew McIntyre.
As the storyline of The Bloodline continues, with Solo Sikoa returning next week, Fatu's strong performance in recent weeks suggests WWE may be setting him up for a singles run on SmackDown. He has faced top stars like Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, and the downfall of Solo Sikoa may lead to a push for Fatu. Rumors are swirling that he might turn on Roman Reigns next week on SmackDown, setting the stage for an epic WrestleMania showdown between the two.
