Jacob Fatu finally returned to WWE television on the September 26 episode of SmackDown after a short hiatus, but his comeback has already sparked fresh speculation about his health.
CodyWhodes of BodySlam posted a cryptic update, suggesting that the Samoan Werewolf may have suffered an injury. He didnt offer any concrete details but used a GIF of Fatu to imply that the powerhouse wasnt in the clear.
The bug strikes another CodyWhodes wrote alongside the GIF, hinting that Fatu could be dealing with an issue.
Despite the speculation, WWE is still moving forward with big plans for Fatu. Hes currently set to collide with Drew McIntyre on the October 17 episode of SmackDown. The match was booked after the two erupted into a wild brawl during the October 10 show, kicking off what looks like the start of a longer feud.
Adding more doubt to the injury chatter, Fatu is also still advertised for the October 17 SmackDown and upcoming SmackDown events, which suggests WWE has no concern about him missing television time. At this point, there has been no official confirmation of any injury, leaving fans to question if the rumor has any truth behind it.
Until WWE makes a statement, fans will just have to wait and see if Fatu is truly dealing with an injury or if this is nothing more than speculation.
