JBL Praises Jacob Fatu, Wants To Work With “Unbelievable” WWE Star

Jacob Fatu has caught the attention of many since his arrival in WWE in 2024, and John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield would love the chance to work with him. Speaking to Monopoly Events at For The Love of Wrestling 2025, the WWE Hall of Famer shared his amazement at Fatu’s work.

“Jacob Fatu to me is, just that kid is, a kid, I’m almost 60 so everybody’s a kid to me. [Fatu] is unbelievable. He’s unreal, how good he is. I’d love to work with Jacob Fatu.”

Fatu isn’t the only member of the extended Bloodline that has caught the eye of the former WWE Champion. In the interview, JBL also praised the rise of Jey Uso and shared that he hopes Jey becomes World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania 41. JBL has “loved him and his brother since they came in” and will no-doubt be YEETing along with countless others should Jey dethrone GUNTHER this April.

As for Fatu, his WrestleMania debut could see a showdown with Solo Sikoa in a match that could prove to be another pivotal turning point for the Bloodline. Time will tell whether JBL ever gets to work with Fatu, but with such a bright future, anything seems possible for the Samoan Werewolf.
