Jacob Fatu Just Named The One WWE Legend He Wants To Destroy After WrestleMania
Jacob Fatu is fresh off a massive win over Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 42, and he’s already setting his sights on someone new. But here’s the twist—it’s not who most fans expected.
While the wrestling world has been buzzing about Fatu calling out his own cousin, Roman Reigns, for the World Heavyweight Title at Backlash 2026, The Samoan Werewolf just dropped a bombshell about a completely different dream match.
During a laid-back chat on the “Club 520” podcast, Fatu admitted he was sitting in his hotel room eating an In-N-Out burger when something hit him out of nowhere. He was scrolling through his phone, and then he heard a certain entrance theme—the old one, the one that gives you chills.
That’s when it clicked.
“Man, I ain’t gonna call him out,” Fatu said. “But when I’m sitting there, I see his entrance. It just brought me chills. For some reason, I don’t know. I’m not saying anything gonna happen. But that is the answer. It is Gunther. Definitely Gunther.”
Yes, you read that right. Jacob Fatu wants Gunther.
The former NXT UK and Intercontinental Champion brings a completely different style than anyone in The Bloodline, and Fatu knows it. He’s not making any promises, but just planting that seed has fans already imagining the carnage.
Later in the same interview, Fatu opened up about which Samoan family members could be WWE bound next. He name-dropped Thamiko Fatu, his little brother Journey Fatu, and Umaga’s son Zilla Fatu. But he kept it real—everyone’s path is different, and he wasn’t even supposed to be here himself.
Then he got honest about something else. Too much family time? It gets on your nerves. “That’s probably how this whole Bloodline saga started,” he joked.
But what really stood out was his take on wrestling today. Fatu said the business has changed for the better. He pointed to the locker room full of different colors, cultures, and backgrounds all coming together for one love—professional wrestling.
Whether it’s Roman Reigns at Backlash or Gunther down the line, one thing is clear: Jacob Fatu isn’t slowing down anytime soon. And if that burger-fueled daydream ever becomes a reality, fans might just get the fight of the decade.
