Jacob Fatu re-debuted in WWE after gaining several years of experience in between. His arrival at Friday Night SmackDown 06/21 was electrifying enough to hype up the crowd in the arena. WWE decided to portray him as a barbaric character, with the announcers calling him “The Werewolf”. He swooped in and cleared the arena of all the enemies.
The display of his prowess wasn’t the only thing that was impressive about Jacob Fatu last night. The wrestler’s strength, energy, and character were all commendable, but fans are also stuck on how drastically he has transformed his body.

Fatu last wrestled in GCW in late March. During his last days, he looked a completely different man. Although he was still ‘big’ in the conventional sense, Fatu lost a lot of weight before coming to WWE. Out of all the reasons that were being speculated behind his absence from the company despite getting signed in April, this may also be one.
We can see a clear comparison between Jacob Fatu’s old and new physique. Even though there was nothing wrong with him before, he seems to be more in shape according to the internet wrestling community. This is the second time that fans have appreciated a wrestler who is bigger than what the conventional male body standard demands.
