Sportskeeda Senior Editor Bill Apter recently spoke about how WWE has been booking Jacob Fatu. The Samoan Werewolf was on TV this week.

Fatu and Tama Tonga were out for revenge this week after Solo Sikoa lost the Tribal Combat Match to Roman Reigns on Monday. They attacked Paul Heyman and then demolished Jimmy Uso who came out to save The Wiseman.

This week on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Apter criticized WWE for Jacob Fatu's recent booking. He pointed out that the vicious star was often shown being easily taken down of late, which hurt his monster gimmick. The veteran journalist felt Fatu should be the unstoppable heel and not buckle down to pressure from other superstars:

"The one thing I wish they wouldn't do with Jacob Fatu is have him kicked in the face and gone over the rope. To me, he came in as the maniac there and I don't think he should work from underneath at all, that's just my feeling. He's got that whole crazy gimmick going for him and he should be harder to take down than sometimes the way the guys are attacking him and taking him down." [From 10:49 to 11:18]
