“Wanna Be Better”: Jacob Fatu’s Desperate Plea After Prison Sentence Eventually Landed WWE Contract

Jacob Fatu reportedly signed with WWE ahead of WrestleMania XL and was allegedly backstage during the biggest PLE of all time. Despite his signing, Fatu hasn’t made his debut for the Stamford-based company. Authorities arrested Fatu for an alleged robbery when he was 18 years old. Some reports allege that this forgotten past might act as a deterrent for his imminent debut.

Nevertheless, the likely scenario revolves around WWE ushering in the perfect stage for him upon his entry. WWE legend Mark Henry divulged the details surrounding Jacob Fatu’s WWE entry and pointed out how the promotion could tap into Fatu’s inspirational real-life story.

WWE could draw inspiration from Jacob Fatu’s “babyface story”

In the most recent episode of Busted Open, Mark Henry sat down with Denise Salcedo. While talking about the situation that Jacob Fatu is stuck with, Henry recalled the wrestler’s words, saying, “I wanna be better. I wanna be a credit to my family.” Henry recalled Jacob Fatu’s words during the podcast and added, “That is a story that needs to be told. It’s a babyface story. It’s a real-life story like it’s documented.”

Henry reiterated that Fatu wishes to change for his family. Other industry insiders think that WWE should give the wrestler a chance. Nevertheless, their wish has come to fruition with the WWE now adding him to their roster. The former MLW World Heavyweight champion has made his mark in pro wrestling with his incredible accomplishments including a title reign of a record 819 days. Jacob Fatu found inspiration from watching The Usos after he landed himself in hot waters. His entry into The Bloodline storyline means that his life would have come full circle after hitting rock bottom.

Some days ago, on the same podcast, another WWE veteran praised Jacob Fatu and rooted for his WWE appearance.

Ever since his introduction to the Stamford-based company, Tama Tonga has become a popular personality among the fanbase. The wrestler next-in-line to potentially join The Bloodline has not yet come to light. However, on the Busted Open podcast, Bully Ray claimed that Jacob Fatu should be the next Bloodline member after Tama Tonga. This is because of his experience. The WWE veteran believes that Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga deserve to be in the leading wrestling promotion because they have ‘paid their dues’. Both talents have been honing their skills in the pro wrestling industry for around a decade and have reached a spot where they can be included in The Bloodline.
