Jacob Fatu has officially been taken off WWE television, and now the real reason for his absence has been revealed. The Samoan Werewolf is facing a long recovery after undergoing major dental and health-related procedures that will keep him sidelined well into 2026.
During the October 17th edition of SmackDown, Fatu was written off programming, sparking speculation about his condition. After the show, fans began asking questions onlineand Cory Hays of BodySlam confirmed the situation.
When one fan asked if Fatu was simply getting new teeth, Hays responded directly, Yes. He then went further, making it clear this wasnt just a minor procedure, Hes getting his entire mouth worked on.
Another fan pushed for clarity, wondering if this meant something cosmetic like veneers or if it was health-related. Hays replied with a short but telling answer, Health wise.
That makes it clear Fatus situation is more serious than cosmetic enhancement. With reports already suggesting hell be out until late 2026, WWE is bracing for a long stretch without one of its most explosive talents.
Do you think Jacob Fatu will return stronger after this setback, or will such a long absence hurt his momentum in WWE? Share your thoughts in the comments.
