Top Free Agent Tells People They're Signing With WWE (Patreon)

It’s WrestleMania weekend, and there are plenty of wrestlers in Philadelphia for the festivities.

One talent in GCW's schedule is Jacob Fatu, formerly of MLW. Fatu completed his final date for MLW back in February with MLW SuperFight, and now his next destination may be known.

Fightful Select’s Corey Brennan and Sean Ross Sapp both report that Fatu has told others that he has signed with WWE as of this past Wednesday, which led to him being pulled from a scheduled GCW appearance on Saturday.

When Sapp asked people within WWE, they wouldn't confirm the news. Several in GCW were discussing the rumors backstage on Saturday. Those that Brennan spoke to within NXT have not heard this as of yet.

Fatu is the cousin of The Usos, Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns of The Bloodline, with a possible WWE debut being speculated by fans throughout his run on the independent circuit.

Jacob Fatu tweeted a picture of his father and Haku, who is Tama Tonga's father. There was word that a pitch may have been put together for Tama and Fatu to revisit that team in WWE.

We've reached out to Fatu, who didn't confirm it. However, he was in town today and backstage at WrestleMania.
