💥 “I’M READY FOR A KICK TO THE FACE!” – Jacob Fatu Reveals the Shocking Reason WWE Nearly Fired Him Right After Signing!

In a revelation that has sent shockwaves through the wrestling community, Jacob Fatu has opened up about a behind-the-scenes drama that nearly ended his WWE career before it even began. Known for his ferocity and unmatched energy in the ring, Fatu was seen as one of the most promising signings of 2025. But according to the man himself, things nearly went sideways — all due to one explosive moment that could have cost him everything.

During a candid interview this week, Fatu didn’t hold back. “I was ready for a kick to the face,” he said with a laugh that barely masked the tension beneath his words. “But I didn’t expect it to be a real one from WWE management.”

Just days after officially signing his long-awaited WWE contract, Fatu was caught in a heated confrontation backstage. While details remain murky, multiple sources claim the incident involved a disagreement over creative direction — something Fatu allegedly voiced a bit too passionately. “Let’s just say I wasn’t going to nod and smile like a rookie,” Fatu admitted. “I’ve been through wars in this business. I know who I am. I wasn’t about to play a watered-down version of myself.”

That attitude, while admired by many fans, reportedly rubbed some key WWE executives the wrong way. Insiders say Fatu’s fiery stance led to emergency meetings, with one source close to the situation revealing: “There were serious discussions about cutting him loose before he even had his first televised appearance.”

For fans of the former MLW World Heavyweight Champion, the idea of WWE letting go of Fatu so quickly seemed unthinkable. But for Fatu, it was a reality check. “I got the call. They told me straight: ‘This isn’t how we do things here.’ And I said, ‘Then maybe I’m not meant to be here.’ That’s how real it got.”

The tension reportedly de-escalated after an intense sit-down meeting involving Fatu, key producers, and even some top-level talent who vouched for his potential. Since then, Fatu says he’s made peace with the system — but he’s not changing who he is. “I’ll play ball, but I won’t play weak. If that costs me everything, then so be it. But I came here to fight. I came here to be me.”

As of now, Fatu remains a WWE superstar and is reportedly set for a major storyline debut this summer. Whether the backstage storm has truly passed remains to be seen, but one thing is certain — Jacob Fatu isn’t here to play safe.

He summed it up in a final, bold statement: “They might regret giving me that contract. But me? I’m ready for anything. Even a kick to the face.
