The holdup, my friends, was more complicated than a soap opera plot twist. Turns out, WWE’s recent jet-setting escapades around the globe were a bit of a hiccup for Fatu, thanks to a robbery conviction from over a decade ago. This little wrinkle in his past has previously kept him grounded stateside, unable to take bookings beyond the Land of the Free. While it’s still up in the air whether this will be a persistent problem, it was a major factor that kept the old WWE brass from signing him. But with the new regime in place, they couldn’t wait to sink their teeth into the talent that is Jacob Fatu.
