Triple H posted the behind-the-scenes making video of Jacob Fatu's entrance ahead of WWE Smackdown. The WWE CCO instructed Jacob about his mannerisms while looking at the camera during the entrance. Jacob cut his maiden promo on WWE Smackdown before being confronted by LA Knight and Braun Strowman. Fatu will be taking on the latter on Saturday Night's Main Event.
In the video posted by Triple H, Tama Tonga was asked to be in his character through the entire sequence. As he was doing his job outside the apron, Hunter asked Jacob what he had to do. The WWE CCO stressed the mannerisms Jacob had to maintain to get 'over' the fans.

It indeed paid off as the eventual output was even better than one would have expected. Hunter personally posted the making of Fatu's entrance and the work that went behind the same. "Every @WWE entrance is an opportunity to show the world ‘who you are.’ In Jacob Fatu’s case, it’s a destroyer," wrote Hunter on X.
Jacob Fatu cuts his maiden promo on WWE Smackdown
Jacob had one of the best nights in his WWE career as he got a chance to cut his maiden promo on Smackdown. The star wrestler addressed the fans who booed Solo out of the arena. He claimed their reaction was irrelevant to him and said he would continue to grow.
Fatu was interrupted by LA Knight and Braun Strowman after his promo. Initially, Knight entered the arena to avenge Fatu and Tonga's attack on him last week which cost him the US title against Shinsuke Nakamura. For a brief period, he had an advantage against the Bloodline.
As Jacob had the advantage after a certain point, Strowman came as the equalizer. The duo went face-to-face against each other and teased a potential faceoff. Tonga stopped Jacob from doing any damage and ensured he was taken back to the locker room. Nick Aldis observed everything and officially confirmed the match between Jacob and Braun on Saturday Night's Main Event.
