Below are a couple of top news stories of the day, involving Jacob Fatu and Mickie James.
• Last night’s episode of SmackDown had fans buzzing, especially with the WWE debut of Jacob Fatu, which caught the attention of Zilla Fatu, son of the late WWE star Umaga.
Zilla Fatu, who embarked on his wrestling journey last year with Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling promotion, tuned in to see Jacob Fatu’s impactful debut. As a member of the renowned Anoa’i family, Zilla shares a rich wrestling heritage with his cousins, The Usos and Roman Reigns. His father, Umaga, left a significant mark in WWE during the 2000s under various personas, most notably as Jamal in the Three Minute Warning tag team with his cousin Rosey, and later as the fearsome Umaga. Umaga enjoyed a successful career, holding the Intercontinental Championship twice and engaging in memorable feuds, including one with John Cena.
During SmackDown, Jacob Fatu made a dramatic entrance, saving Solo Sikoa and taking down Randy Orton, WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, and Kevin Owens, culminating in a high-flying splash off the top rope that sent Rhodes crashing through the announce table.
Reacting to the spectacle, Zilla Fatu shared an intriguing message on his Instagram Stories: “See you soon……”
While there have been no official reports of WWE signing Zilla or approaching him with an offer, he has expressed a strong desire to join WWE in previous interviews, emphasizing his intention to continue The Bloodline legacy within the promotion.

• ‘Hawk Tuah’ has become an internet sensation, thanks to a woman who is now the face of these viral memes. Social media users are both puzzled and amused by the ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl, whose comedic spitting act has taken the internet by storm.
The phrase ‘Hawk Tuah’ mimics the sound of the spitting act. This viral moment originated from a video by Tim and Dee TV, where the girl was asked a provocative question: “What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?”
Without hesitation, she responded, “Oh, you have got to give it that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thang, you get me?”
