Jacob Fatu Explains His Samoan Werewolf Nickname

Jacob Fatu recently discussed the origins of his wrestling nickname, Samoan Werewolf, during an interview with Stephanie McMahon.

He explained that the nickname was influenced by the Twilight movie, particularly the character played by Taylor Lautner. Fatu noted that his trainers, including Gangrel and his uncle Rikishi, compared his in-ring style to that of a werewolf, especially in relation to Gangrel's vampire persona.

Since making his WWE debut in 2024, Fatu has gained a strong fan following and has won both the United States Championship and Tag Team Titles alongside Tama Tonga.
