Welcome to superstardom, Jacob Fatu.
Less than a year into his main roster stint in WWE, The Samoan Werewolf had his breakout moment on Saturday Night’s Main Event, brutalizing and bloodying Braun Strowman. Despite a disqualification loss that occurred after he assaulted the referee, the crowd in San Antonio rained down on the second-generation star, greeting him with chants of “one more time” and “Fatu! Fatu! Fatu!”
As has been the case throughout wrestling history, fans appreciate badasses who wreak havoc and beat people up. Despite Strowman’s relative popularity, the fans in Texas gleefully rejoiced over his suffering at the hands of Fatu, who is, and has been, poised to be a top star of the future from the moment he first appeared on June 21.
-The reaction from the fans was not one of anger directed toward the ferocious attacker of a former universal champion in Strowman but, rather, one of appreciation for a legitimate badass the likes of which they had not seen in quite some time.
