New Delhi: A fresh backstage rumor has revealed Jacob Fatu’s intended opponent at WWE WrestleMania 41. With just two months to go before the Grandest Stage of Them All in Las Vegas, Nevada, we currently only know two matches that are officially confirmed for April 19–20: Tiffany Stratton defending her WWE Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair and GUNTHER and Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship.
The other two world title fights will be confirmed at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event on March 1, but we now know what WWE has in store for SmackDown talent Jacob Fatu at the Show of Shows. According to sources of WrestleVotes on Sportskeeda Backstage Pass Q&A, this year’s WrestleMania currently has the Samoan Werewolf facing up against his former Tribal Chief Solo Sikoa.
“There’s a lot going on there. I don’t know what everybody’s plans are…but I do know they’re gearing up towards Jacob vs. Solo.
“So after months of speculation that Solo is gonna wrestle Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, they shift that to Jacob Fatu and we’ll see how it plays out. But I do believe that’s the direction.”

How did this feud take place?
Since the former lost the Ula Fala against Roman Reigns at the January 6 Raw on Netflix launch, WWE appears to have started hinting at a breakup between Sikoa and Fatu. Sikoa took a break from WWE TV immediately after the defeat, and Fatu thereafter assumed a more significant position as a singles star.
On the February 7 episode of SmackDown, Sikoa made his WWE TV comeback. Since then, he has tried to realign with Tama Tonga and Fatu, however his efforts to help Fatu qualify for the Elimination Chamber match failed, and Damian Priest took his place.
Jacob Fatu is slowly growing into one of WWE’s top stars and according to recent reports, his Wrestlemania 41 apponent has already been planned. WWE Sports News: Latest Cricket News, Cricket Live Score, Sports Breaking News from Sports Today
