Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring Jacob Fatu, Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio.
• During the SummerSlam 2024 post-show, Triple H revealed that Logan Paul and Jacob Fatu got hurt at the PLE. Here’s what the WWE Chief Content Officer said:
“Unfortunately, [Jacob Fatu] got a little bit banged up in that last match. The only two real… Logan’s a little banged up, as he should be, and Jacob’s a little banged up.
I’ll see where that nets out here in a little bit. Hopefully nothing serious, but it was bugging him a little bit, the leg, so we’ll see where he is.”
Jacob was seen in a walking boot after the show:
On Friday’s SmackDown, it was mentioned by the commentators and even during Cody Rhodes’ promo that Jacob is injured.
However, there’s some speculation that this injury could be a storyline to protect Jacob Fatu, as Roman Reigns ran through Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline after his return and WWE Officials wanted to keep Jacob strong.
According to PWInsider, Jacob wasn’t backstage at Friday’s SmackDown and there’s a growing belief among WWE wrestlers that Jacob is legitimately injured.
