Jacob Fatu has been rising as one of the top stars in WWE today. His exponential rise in the past year has made him a popular name in the world of professional wrestling. Recently, a current AEW star dropped a huge reference to Jacob Fatu in his latest social media activity.

Powerhouse Hobbs recently posted an ask me anything story on his Instagram. One of his followers asked him his favorite opponents of all time during his days in the independent scene. The AEW World Trios Champion shared a picture of his tag team showdown in APW against Kratos & Cobb a.k.a. JC Mateo. However, the story also featured Fatu as his tag team partner.

Fans are considering it to be a shout-out by Hobbs to his former tag team ally, The Samaon Werewolf. The story had no caption, but it was enough to cause rumbling among the WWE and AEW fanbases.

Check out his Instagram story below:

Jacob Fatu suffered a big attack on Friday Night SmackDown

Jacob Fatu made his return to WWE a few weeks ago after being out for a while. He quickly went after WWE's top heel, Drew McIntyre, and destroyed him with an attack. However, Fatu suffered the same fate last week on SmackDown at the hands of The Scottish Warrior.

The Samoan Werewolf had a stern confrontation with Cody Rhodes backstage, where he made it clear that he wants a shot at the Undisputed WWE Title. However, as The American Nightmare went away, McIntyre surprisingly attacked Fatu from behind and drove him into the wall.

The Scottish Warrior made it clear that he is coming after the former Bloodline member on SmackDown next. With that said, there have been speculations that two stars might collide for the first time in their careers at Saturday Night's Main Event next month.

However, his true passion has always been storytelling, especially the kind of tales that unfold in the world of professional wrestling. Writing gave him a way to channel that passion, and soon it turned into his profession. He has been working as a sports journalist for over two years. During this time, he has contributed to multiple prominent sports media outlets.

He first got into pro wrestling in 2014, during the unforgettable Daniel Bryan vs. The Authority storyline in WWE. As a journalist, accuracy and integrity are non-negotiable for Anugrah. He always verifies facts through credible sources before publishing anything. Whether it’s breaking news or analysis, he double-checks details. He has written over 2000 articles so far, with one of his pieces drawing a positive reaction from NXT's Thea Hail.

Anugrah's favorite wrestler is Seth Rollins. He admires The Visionary's work ethic, resilience, and unwavering dedication to his craft. If he could travel back to the Attitude Era, he would have loved to manage Chris Jericho. Anugrah feels Y2J was the perfect mix of charisma, rebellion, and in-ring talent in WWE. He would have helped the multi-time world champion scale new heights.

When not watching or writing about pro wrestling, Anugrah likes diving into movies and TV shows, especially ones with strong storytelling. He's also into calisthenics; it's his way of staying grounded and pushing his limits. Anugrah also enjoys reading books and solving puzzles that challenge his thinking ability.
