In a candid interview on Busted Open, “The Samoan Werewolf” Jacob Fatu recently opened up about a harrowing experience that left him with a noticeable change in appearance: a significant reduction in teeth. During his recent WWE hiatus, Fatu underwent a procedure that removed 11 teeth from his mouth, a decision he admits was made necessary by a pre-existing condition.
A Painful yet Necessary Decision
According to Fatu, the decision to undergo the dental procedure was made to alleviate the discomfort and pain caused by a condition that had been affecting his teeth for some time. The WWE Superstar admitted that he had been living with the issue for years, but was unable to find a solution until recently.
“I’ve been dealing with this for a while, and I finally decided to take care of it,” Fatu explained on Busted Open. “I was supposed to get 12 teeth pulled, but I only got 11 done in the back. It was a bit of a process, but it’s something that needed to be done.”
Fatu’s decision to undergo the procedure during his WWE hiatus was likely influenced by the desire to prioritize his health and well-being, rather than attempting to address the issue while still actively competing. The 11 teeth removed from his mouth were likely a result of a combination of tooth decay and other oral health issues.
The Impact on Fatu’s Career
While the dental procedure may have been necessary for Fatu’s health, it is likely to have a significant impact on his career in the WWE. As a Superstar known for his imposing physique and aggressive in-ring style, Fatu’s new appearance may affect his ability to connect with fans and maintain his in-ring character.
However, according to a WWE insider, Fatu’s decision to undergo the procedure may actually be a strategic move to revamp his character and create a new persona.
“Fatu’s new look could be a game-changer for his character,” said the insider. “He’s been stuck in a rut for a while, and a change like this could be just what he needs to breathe new life into his gimmick. It’s a risk, but it could pay off big time.”
The Future for Jacob Fatu
With a new, albeit toothless, appearance, Fatu will undoubtedly face challenges as he returns to the WWE. However, with a strong work ethic and a willingness to adapt, the Samoan Superstar may be able to overcome these obstacles and emerge stronger than ever.
As Fatu himself stated on Busted Open, he is focused on his health and well-being, and is eager to return to the ring and compete at a high level.
“I’m feeling good, and I’m ready to get back to work,” Fatu said. “I’m excited to see what the future holds, and I’m looking forward to getting back in the ring and giving it my all.”
Only time will tell if Fatu’s new appearance will be a success, but one thing is certain: the Samoan Werewolf is back, and he’s hungrier than ever.
