Jacob Fatu’s Walking Boot Off After Nasty SummerSlam Bump

Concerns over Jacob Fatu’s health have been circulating among WWE fans following a risky maneuver during the main event at SummerSlam.

Fatu, a key member of The Bloodline, alongside stars like Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, and Randy Orton, took a daring leap during a high-stakes match against Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa.

The moment that had fans on edge occurred when Fatu executed a top-rope splash that sent him and Cody crashing through the announce table. Fatu began selling the impact intensely, sparking immediate speculation about a real injury. His subsequent assistance by WWE staff backstage and appearance in a walking boot the next morning seemed to confirm fans’ fears.

However, recent developments have provided a positive update. Although Fatu was seen wearing the walking boot on WWE television and during public appearances following SummerSlam, there’s good news from the WWE’s current house show tour in Germany. This Wednesday, at an event with The Tongas, Fatu was spotted entering the arena without the walking boot, signaling a likely improvement in his condition.

The WWE Instagram account captured and shared footage of their entrance, clearly showing Fatu walking unaided and no longer wearing the boot. This encouraging sign suggests that his injury may have been less severe than initially feared, or that his recovery is progressing well.

While Fatu did get physical on a recent episode of SmackDown, attacking Roman Reigns, his quick recovery to active performance has reassured fans of his resilience and toughness. With Fatu seemingly back on his feet, the WWE universe looks forward to seeing more of his dynamic performances in the ring.
