Triple H may have scrapped massive Jacob Fatu plans due to one major reason
Since debuting under Triple H’s regime, Jacob Fatu has been presented as a formidable force. The King of Kings has consistently highlighted the raw toughness and power of The Samoan Werewolf.
Currently, Jacob Fatu is embroiled in the Bloodline civil war, aligning with Solo Sikoa against Roman Reigns and the OG Bloodline.
However, recent reports suggest that Triple H may have scrapped major plans for an Undisputed WWE Title match involving Fatu. The reason appears to be a shift in focus toward accelerating the OG Bloodline reunion storyline.
WWE had discussed Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu once
According to Xero News, WWE previously discussed a potential match between Cody Rhodes and Jacob Fatu. The source provided this update in response to a prior report hinting at plans for a clash between Cody and Jacob.
With The American Nightmare now distanced from The Bloodline storyline, the insider clarified that this match was, at one point, considered within the Stamford-based promotion.
Jey Uso's return to the OG Bloodline is a potential reason behind massive plans getting scrapped
The source also noted that plans for a Jacob Fatu vs. Cody Rhodes match were likely scrapped due to Jey Uso’s accelerated reunion with the OG Bloodline. In his tweet, Xero News mentioned "due to them rushing Jey back to Bloodline," suggesting that WWE adjusted plans to prioritize Jey’s return.
Otherwise, Triple H might have moved forward with a match between Fatu and Rhodes.
With Cody holding the Undisputed WWE Championship, this potential match would have involved the title, presenting a major opportunity for The Samoan Werewolf.
When is Triple H expected to give Jacob Fatu a World Title match?
During the recent episode of Monday Night RAW, Cody Rhodes and Jacob Fatu faced off in a dark match for the Undisputed WWE Title in a Philly Street Fight. Naturally, The American Nightmare emerged victorious, as dark matches rarely see title changes, especially with a world title on the line.
However, if the above reports are accurate, questions have come up about when Triple H might officially book Fatu in a World Title match.
Currently, The Samoan Werewolf is expected to remain deeply involved in the Bloodline saga, likely until WrestleMania next year. The story between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa doesn’t appear to be ending soon and may even extend beyond Survivor Series WarGames.
The conclusion could take place at WrestleMania 41, where Triple H might book a singles match between Reigns and Sikoa for The Showcase of the Immortals.
Given this, we may not see Jacob Fatu in a World Title match until after WrestleMania 41, as the family storyline takes precedence for now.
