Jacob Fatu Breaks His Silence After Costing Cody Rhodes the WWE Title—And His Message Has Fans Even More Confused
Jacob Fatu didn’t just return to SmackDown—he detonated it. After nearly three months out of action, the Samoan Werewolf stormed back into WWE programming last Friday and instantly changed the landscape of the Undisputed WWE Championship picture. And now, just days after screwing Cody Rhodes out of the title in Berlin, Fatu has finally made an announcement of his own—though not the one fans were expecting.
Jacob Fatu’s Shocking SmackDown Return Changes Everything
Fatu had been missing since mid-October following a mysterious backstage attack, leaving fans wondering when—or if—he’d resurface. That question was answered in explosive fashion during the main event of SmackDown’s brutal 3 Stages of Hell Steel Cage Match.
As Drew McIntyre was seconds away from escaping the cage and winning the Undisputed WWE Championship, Fatu appeared out of nowhere.
At first, his target seemed clear.
Fatu unloaded on McIntyre, widely believed to be the man behind the earlier backstage assault. But just when the WWE Universe thought they understood his motive, chaos escalated.
Cody Rhodes Pays the Ultimate Price
In a jaw-dropping twist, Fatu turned his attention to Cody Rhodes.
One devastating attack later, Rhodes was left helpless as McIntyre crawled through the cage door and captured the Undisputed WWE Championship. In a matter of moments, Fatu had ruined Cody’s night — and possibly ignited multiple rivalries at once.
The questions came fast:
- Why attack Cody?
- Was Fatu aligned with McIntyre?
- Or was this pure, unfiltered chaos?
Jacob Fatu Speaks… But Not About Cody or Drew
With fans desperate for answers, Jacob Fatu finally broke his silence — just not in the way anyone expected.
Instead of explaining his actions, the 33-year-old star took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce the launch of his official Instagram account, bluntly telling fans not to expect replies.
“FOLLOW MY OFFICIAL INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT❗️
DONT WASTE YOUR TIME TRYING TO DM I WONT CHECK IT❗️🚨
KEEP GOD 1st JESUS CHRIST.”
As of now, Fatu’s Instagram following is growing rapidly, surpassing 4,000 followers in no time — proof that interest in The Samoan Werewolf has never been hotter.
Still, the silence regarding Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre has only fueled speculation.
WWE Hall of Famer Explains Fatu’s Actions
On Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry offered insight into the shocking moment — and shut down one popular theory.
According to Henry, Jacob Fatu was not working with Drew McIntyre.
“He attacked Drew McIntyre first. That tells you everything. He only went after Cody because Cody stuck his nose in business that didn’t belong to him.”
In Henry’s view, Fatu’s rampage wasn’t strategic — it was personal.
What Happens Next?
For now, the WWE Universe is left guessing.
Was Cody Rhodes simply collateral damage?
Is Drew McIntyre still in Fatu’s crosshairs?
And when will The Samoan Werewolf finally explain himself?
One thing is certain: when Jacob Fatu returned, he didn’t just come back — he took over.
All eyes are now on next week’s SmackDown, where the answers everyone wants may finally come to light.
