Jacob Fatu almost debuted in WWE under a completely different name and his entrance music almost sounded very different too. While speaking with IGN to promote the upcoming WWE 2K26, Fatu shared a behind-the-scenes story about how his WWE character, name, and entrance theme all came together with help from Paul Levesque. According to Fatu, the process happened quickly while he was meeting with Triple H backstage. At the time, he didnt even know what WWE planned to call him. Thats when Triple H immediately revealed the name WWE ultimately decided on. Fatu explained that Triple H then played two different entrance themes for him to consider. One of them had an intro that caught his attention, but the overall track wasnt the one he ended up using. After hearing both options, Fatu felt strongly about the second theme song but wanted to combine it with the intro from the first track. Fatu also admitted he initially expected something closer to the style used by other members of the Anoai wrestling family. Instead, he pitched the idea of recording his own voice for the intro something WWE quickly approved. Fatu said his background trying to pursue music before wrestling gave him the confidence to ask. Triple H immediately gave him the green light and even pointed him straight to a recording setup backstage. Fatu then revealed the meaning behind the Samoan phrase heard in his entrance music. The phrase carries personal significance because it references something used by the late Samoan wrestling legend Umaga after finishing opponents in the ring. Even after recording the intro, Fatu said WWE initially continued using the earlier version of the theme. Eventually, he asked Triple H if his version could be used instead. Now that the track is finalized, Fatu says hes completely connected to it. The story offers an interesting look at how quickly WWE creative decisions can come together behind the scenes including how a future star nearly debuted with a totally different identity.
