Naomi came up short at WrestleMania 41, while Jacob Fatu picked up perhaps the biggest win of his career when he became the United States Champion. Fatu then made it clear that he was no longer under the control of Solo Sikoa on WWE SmackDown and has since sent a message to Naomi.
Naomi, the wife of Jimmy Uso, is considered family by Jacob Fatu and while speaking on the Club 520 podcast, he praised her as his "sister."
"Hey, bruh, shout out to my sister Naomi, man, I mean, bruh, she one of the realest cats ever up in there doing it.” (10:26 - 10:31)
Naomi refuses to sit back on her loss from WrestleMania and while Jade Cargill believed that her issues with the former SmackDown Women's Champion were now over, Naomi arrived to make it clear that they were not.
Naomi attacked Cargill mid-way through her match with Tiffany Stratton and sent a clear message before Nia Jax then made her return and opted to go after the WWE Women's Champion as well.
Praise has come thick and fast for Jacob Fatu over the past few months as he climbed the ladder in WWE and proved that he's one of the most unique wrestlers in the world.
Fatu is working as a heel, but it's clear that he has already done enough to become a firm fan favorite and WWE is now just waiting to pull the trigger on a face turn for the former New Bloodline member.
As United States Champion, it seems that Fatu has several challengers heading his way and could be one of the featured stars on SmackDown in the coming months, while also playing a key role in the Backlash Premium Live Event in just two weeks.
