Jacob Fatu
MLW

A member of the legendary Anoa'i wrestling dynasty, Jacob Fatu is the son of former WWE star Sam Fatu and was trained for the ring by his uncle, Rikishi. He has established himself in American wrestling through MLW, where he signed in 2019 and while he hasn't always kept the busiest independent schedule, his work outside of the country's bigger promotions has made him one of the most sought-after names on the scene.

Fatu is coming off an 819-day reign as MLW World Champion that began with a win over Tom Lawlor in July 2019, and concluded with national champion Alexander Hammerstone (more on him later) felling 'The Samoan Werewolf' in a match MLW had been building for well over a year. His dominance now handed over to another, something new is on his horizon.

A bulldozer of a wrestler, Fatu is currently in the shape of his life, having leaned out from his super heavyweight days without compromising his imposing presence. He is an athletic machine with unreal cardio, particularly for his size, a good talker, and is arresting from the moment you first lay eyes on him. That explosiveness and immediacy would serve him well anywhere he lands.
