Fatu expected to rejoin storylines following his SmackDown write-off
Summary
– Jacob Fatu is nearing a WWE return after undergoing significant dental surgery
– Backstage discussions at Survivor Series indicate he could be back on the road within weeks
– His October SmackDown exit involved a violent angle with Drew McIntyre that required real medical treatment
Jacob Fatu may soon be back in WWE programming after spending several weeks recovering from serious dental surgery. A new report from PWInsider notes that conversations backstage during Survivor Series indicated that the Samoan powerhouse would return to storylines sooner rather than later.
Fatu was written off television during the October 17 episode of SmackDown in a brutal segment with Drew McIntyre. The attack left him bloodied on the canvas with teeth scattered across the ring, creating one of the more graphic visuals on WWE TV this year. At the time, Wrestling Observer Live reported that Fatu required urgent medical work, confirming that the procedure was necessary and not for cosmetic reasons.
According to PWInsider, internal sources believe Fatu could be traveling with WWE again in the coming weeks, though no official date has been finalized. His time away allowed him to undergo and recover from extensive dental treatment while WWE folded the real-life situation into storyline developments.
Fans have been waiting for updates since his dramatic exit, and early indications suggest the Samoan Werewolf is nearly ready to step back into the ring. His return is expected to add fresh momentum to whichever direction WWE chooses for him next.
