US Champion Jacob Fatu is all gas and no brakes, as he likes to put it. Tonight, on the first SmackDown after WrestleMania 41, he took out two former champions as a Fatal Four-Way match was seemingly teased for his first title defense.
On the first SmackDown post-WrestleMania, Jacob Fatu snatched the mic from Solo Sikoa and was interrupted by the man he dethroned at WrestleMania - LA Knight. Drew McIntyre also came out, and it set up a huge clash between Knight and McIntyre to determine the number one contender for the United States Championship.
The match was interrupted by Damian Priest, making it a DQ/no contest. Priest was looking for revenge against McIntyre and sent him through a table. However, as he was confronted by LA Knight, Jacob Fatu launched himself into both men and took out the former champions by himself, standing tall as WWE teased a Fatal Four-Way match for the US Title between Fatu, Priest, Knight, and McIntyre.

That would certainly be a blockbuster match for Backlash 2025. Fatu is on fire right now and he's firing on all cylinders. The crowds seem to love him, and he seems like anything but a villain.
However, he now has a target on his back and if he is to face three top stars at once, it will be a massive challenge.
With that said, it's an exciting direction to go in for The Samoan Werewolf.
