Jacob Fatu silenced his critics at WWE WrestleMania 41. The Samoan Werewolf defeated LA Knight to capture the United States Championship in his very first 'Mania appearance. That said, the win doesn't seem to have impressed an industry veteran.
While reviewing WWE WrestleMania 41 on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge , Vince Russo said Fatu and Knight brought the crowd to life despite being the fourth match on the card. The former WWE writer said he too would've booked Jacob Fatu to win the United States Championship but the build-up to the WrestleMania clash match made the outcome predictable.

A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer. Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs. He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.
While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs.
Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills. When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
