This Saturday, at SummerSlam, there was a moment that left fans very worried. Jacob Fatu intervened along with the rest of the new The Bloodline in the main event between Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa. So when he splashed Rhodes from the third rope towards the commentary table, his leg hit the edge of the table. This left Fatu writhing in pain and unable to walk properly.

After the show, at the press conference, Triple H spoke about the spot in question. The Game revealed that Jacob Fatu was in pain. Now, they’ll need to go through tests to see what they have. It should be noted that PWN reported at the time that, although it is unknown if Fatu was “selling” an injury. Although, as per Triple H, he considered that they were minor injuries in the absence of a more in-depth analysis.

He said, “I have to mention Jacob Fatu because he’s like a force of nature. It’s amazing to see him. Unfortunately, he got a little bit banged up in that last match. Logan’s a little banged up, as he should be, and Jacob’s a little banged up. I’ll see where that nets out here in a little bit. Hopefully nothing serious, but it was bugging him a little bit, the leg, so we’ll see where he is.”

Now, a new angle of the spot reveals the extent of the impact on Fatu’s leg. A Twitter user by the name @SanMiguelOnX took on X and revealed ringside footage of the spot for all to see. We won’t be wrong to say that the way The Samoan Werewolf hits the table, it doesn’t look good. So it won’t be surprising if it turns out to be a minor fracture and he’s asked to rest his leg.

However, we also have to take into account the fact that the WWE is all about selling injuries the best way that you can. Being one of the best Samoan pro wrestlers in the industry right now, Fatu too knows a thing or two about selling moves and injuries. So all this could also be a work from WWE’s end. It was also reported that Jacob Fatu was planning to sell a possible injury at WWE SummerSlam 2024.

Did Jacob Fatu fulfill his role by selling his injury at SummerSlam?

SummerSlam 2024 left fans chatting about everything that had happened during the event. One of the most talked about topics was Jacob Fatu’s possible injury. However, according to some reports, it seems that everything is fine. Reports suggested that the former MLW World Heavyweight champion was told to sell the pain of the hit with the table after the Splash to Cody Rhodes, according to Fightful Select. We should note that it is unknown if he had to sell it to such an extent.

PWN also reiterated after the event that Jacob Fatu was fine. We will see how the situation develops in the coming days. But regardless of whether it is real or not, it seems that it will be a factor to be taken into account on television during the coming weeks. So what do you think? Is Jacob Fatu faking the injury to possibly launch a surprise attack on a returning Roman Reigns and his version of the Bloodline? What do you think? Let us know in the comments.
