Jacob Fatu won his first championship in WWE when he defeated LA Knight to become the new United States Champion. After his win, a 66-year-old legend came out to congratulate him.
Fatu had to earn his United States Championship, and it wasn't the dominant, steamrolling type of match that many expected. The champion, walking into the match, LA Knight, put on an incredible fight.
After he won the match, the 66-year-old legend and father of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, Haku, came out and congratulated Jacob Fatu. He was seen raising his hand in joy at the announcement of Fatu's win.
As you may know, Haku belongs to the "Tongan" side of the Bloodline. While they aren't considered blood relatives of the Anoa'i family, they are still close enough to be regarded as family.
For those unaware, Haku was considered one of the toughest and scariest men outside of the ring in professional wrestling. He had a tough-guy reputation, and nobody dared to mess with him.
In a way, Fatu is a modern-day resemblance of Haku. While the Samoan Bloodline family is known to be tough, none of them represent the image of strength quite like Jacob Fatu does.
