Jacob Fatu’s status became uncertain following his leg injury during the table spot in the main event of WWE SummerSlam 2024.
As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, Fatu intended to sell a leg injury after the table spot during the Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa match, but it remains uncertain if this was the extent of what was portrayed on TV.
Fatu’s leg hit the edge of the table, and he immediately showed that he was in pain. WWE staff also helped him to the back after the match. The Samoan wrestler was later spotted wearing a medical boot, although he could walk on the leg that endured the table crash.
Pwinsider is reporting that Fatu is expected to return to WWE TV by the end of the month.
While WWE talent had been concerned about the legitimacy of Fatu’s injury, an internal WWE source dispelled those concerns.
