Exploring potential angle"},"content":{"rendered":"<p> [ad_1]<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"article-content\" data-postid=\"4760942\" data-slug-id=\"2354856\">\n<div class=\"vidazoo-player-container\">\n<span class=\"vidazoo-close-btn  hidden \"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/cmc-predictor\/v2\/cross-icon.png?w=40\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" alt=\"close\"\/><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Since his debut, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/jacob-fatu\/news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Jacob Fatu<\/a> has been a force to be reckoned with. He raises havoc anywhere and everywhere, but his time on SmackDown might be up. He has been more unhinged than ever without Solo Sikoa&#8217;s guiding hand, and he may have already realized that. With that in mind, could he make a move to WWE RAW and find a new leader?<\/p>\n<p>The answer to the first part is potentially a &#8220;Yes&#8221;. With the transfer window still underway, there is no telling what the future holds for Jacob Fatu. He could make a move to RAW, or he could stay on Friday nights. The second question is a bit more tricky and is based on a backstage interaction. After all, the new leader he could choose to serve in this scenario is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/jey-uso\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Jey Uso<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>As is common knowledge by now, Jey Uso won the Men&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/go\/royal-rumble\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Royal Rumble<\/a> match. It was a monumental win, and perhaps the biggest of his career. As such, both his friends and family were backstage to congratulate him, including his cousin, Jacob Fatu, who was even seen in a &#8216;Yeet&#8217; t-shirt. Taking this into consideration, there is always a chance he could move to RAW and request to become Jey&#8217;s enforcer, as he hits the road to WrestleMania.<\/p>\n<p>It certainly would be quite the twist if it does happen. But, at this point in time, it is nothing more than speculation.<\/p>\n<h2>Jacob Fatu will likely be going after Braun Strowman once again<\/h2>\n<p>While it is fun to speculate, it might be a while before Jacob Fatu makes the move to RAW. Why? Well, following the Royal Rumble, he will want to go after Braun Strowman once again. After all, it was The Monster Among Men who eliminated him from the Rumble match.<\/p>\n<p>Making a return after a devastating loss at Saturday Night&#8217;s Main Event, Strowman shocked the world when he eliminated Fatu. Understandably, The Samoan Werewolf was irate and threw a chair at Strowman as he left the arena. Clearly, there is now some unfinished business between the two.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see what Fatu does on this week&#8217;s episode of SmackDown. Given all that has happened, perhaps he will renew his rivalry with Strowman.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bottom-tagline-banner\" data-tab=\"bottom\">\n<a class=\"bottom-tagline-banner-link\" data-tab=\"bottom\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/posts\/wrestlevotes-ep-121122045\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-tagline-banner-container\">\n<div class=\"thumbnail\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"120\" alt=\"tagline-banner-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2025\/01\/8611a-17382583869309-1920.jpg?h=240\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Arsh Das<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script> \nvar fbPixelFired = false;\nvar pixelID = \"952063904834769\";\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\ndocument.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", loadFBPixel, { once: true, passive: true });\nfunction loadFBPixel() {\nif(fbPixelFired) {\nreturn;\n}\nfbPixelFired = true;\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? \nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, \ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', pixelID); \nfbq('track', \"PageView\");\nfbq('track', 'ViewContent');\ndocument.removeEventListener(\"scroll\", loadFBPixel);\ndocument.removeEventListener(\"mousemove\", loadFBPixel);\n}\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/jacob-fatu-quit-smackdown-join-wwe-raw-exploring-potential-angle\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Since his debut, Jacob Fatu has been a force to be reckoned with.
