Jacob Fatu had the important role of being a part of the second-most important match at WWE Backlash 2025, and there was a very interesting note to be made regarding his entrance.
LA Knight's music was the first to hit, giving WWE fans attending Backlash a reason to start with a big pop. Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest would come out next, getting respectable reactions from the crowd. The audience in St. Louis seemed to have a lot of respect for all four men.
But that respect seemed to be reserved mostly for Jacob Fatu. In an interesting note, during the early part of the PLE, the United States Champion made his entrance alone and without Solo Sikoa.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
This time, Sikoa didn't even accompany him to the entrance ramp. It was all Fatu, and he was completely alone. On the episode of SmackDown before Backlash, Solo Sikoa desperately pleaded to Fatu because he had "no soldiers" left, referring to the injuries of Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga.
Fatu, of course, said he was going all gas and no brakes, seemingly with no need for a plan. The crowd in St. Louis cheered him over the other three certified veterans.
His performance at Backlash proved exactly why the crowd got behind him.
