Triple Threat Chaos: How Jacob Fatu Could Crash the WWE Title Match at WrestleMania 42
Since his explosive return on the January 9 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Jacob Fatu has been impossible to ignore. The Samoan Werewolf hasn’t just been part of the show—he’s been tearing through it, leaving a trail of destruction that now leads directly to WrestleMania 42.
Fatu has inserted himself firmly into the Undisputed WWE Championship picture, trading blows with both Drew McIntyre and Cody Rhodes across multiple events. From Saturday Night’s Main Event to the Royal Rumble, wherever the WWE Title goes, Fatu seems to follow.
But here’s the problem: after failing to qualify for the Elimination Chamber, Fatu’s path to WrestleMania looks murky. That doesn’t mean he won’t find his way to Las Vegas. In fact, there might be more ways in than fans realize.
Let’s break down how Fatu could still land on the grandest stage of them all.
The Triple Threat Scenario
The most direct path? Force his way into the main event.
Fatu has history with both McIntyre and Rhodes. He cost Rhodes his Three Stages of Hell match in January, helping McIntyre escape with the title. Since then, he’s been a constant presence in their rivalry.
With Rhodes fighting to earn his shot at McIntyre, Fatu could easily make the case that he’s earned a spot at the table. A triple threat match in Las Vegas would give WWE a explosive main event without having to choose between the two challengers.
And given how personal things have gotten between all three men, adding Fatu to the mix might be the only way to keep the peace—or spark an all-out war.
