Jacob Fatu

Jacob Fatu was trained by his uncle, Rikishi. His father is Sam Fatu, who competed in the World Wrestling Federation as Tama and The Tonga Kid. Umaga was his uncle and The Usos are his cousins.

He debuted in 2012, in a winning effort teaming with his relative, Black Pearl.[2] He spent most of 2013 through 2015 competing in California for independent promotions, often teaming with fellow Anoa'i family members. In 2018, he made his first trip to Mexico for The Crash in a trios match, losing to Octagón and Blue Demon Jr.[3]

In 2019, he signed with Major League Wrestling, joining his relatives Samu and Samu's son, Lance Anoa'i in the company.[4] Fatu debuted for MLW at their February event SuperFight, alongside his frequent tag team partner Josef Samael in a non-televised match. The duo of Fatu and Josef would then make their televised debut in MLW at Intimidation Games on March 2 by attacking the World Heavyweight Champion Tom Lawlor following his cage match against Low Ki, thus forming the heel stable Contra Unit with Simon Gotch.[5] The following week, Contra Unit attacked Ace Romero during his match with Gotch.[6] After months of feuding with Lawlor, Fatu defeated Lawlor at Kings of Colosseum on July 6 to capture the World Heavyweight Championship.[7] He would also retain the title against Lawlor in a rematch.[8] He then headlined MLW's first-ever pay-per-view event Saturday Night SuperFight, where Fatu successfully defended the title against LA Park.
