Fatu hasn’t wrestled since GCW’s show on March 24 in Rochester, NY.
The 31-year-old is cousins with WWE’s Usos and the son of Sam Fatu, better known as The Tonga Kid or as Tama of The Islanders in WWE. Haku, the other half of The Islanders, also has a son who is expected to debut in WWE shortly. Tama Tonga finished up with NJPW earlier this year and our own Dave Meltzer reports he has signed with WWE.
Fatu posted a photo of his father along with Bobby Heenan and Haku earlier today:

Jacob Fatu was trained by his uncle Rikishi and debuted in 2012. He started with MLW in 2019 and won the promotion’s world title that July from our own Tom Lawlor. He held the belt until dropping it to Alex Hammerston in October 2021. Fatu finished up with MLW at their tapings in Philadelphia on February 3.
