WWE Superstar Jacob Fatu is a force to reckon with. The Samoan Werewolf is among the most dominant performers on the roster. Legendary professional wrestler Matt Hardy recently spoke highly of the star and made a bold prediction about the latter's future.
Even before signing with WWE, The Bloodline member was touted as the next breakout Samoan all set to carry the legacy forward. He has lived up to all those expectations and then some by steamrolling past several top names in the wrestling promotion.
During the latest episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the multi-time tag team champion was asked who he thought would be the next big thing in professional wrestling. Hardy named Fatu as his pick. The 50-year-old predicted that if the latter could work on his character and pro work, he could be a main-event draw for WWE.

Jacob Fatu took out a WWE champion on SmackDown
Jacob Fatu is slated to challenge LA Knight for the WWE United States Championship at WrestleMania 41. However, he got his hands on the 42-year-old on the latest episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
In the main event of the show, The Megastar teamed up with Randy Orton to wrestle Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga. The babyfaces secure a massive win over The Bloodline members, only for Fatu to show up and decimate the champion.
The Megastar recaptured the title by defeating Shinsuke Nakamura on the March 7 edition of SmackDown. It will be interesting to see if he can retain the gold against The Samoan Werewolf on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
