Matt Hardy On Jacob Fatu: His Ceiling Is Extremely High, I Think He’s A Guy Who Can Be A Leader In The WWE

Matt Hardy believes in Jacob Fatu.

Jacob Fatu’s impact has already sent shockwaves through the WWE. Fatu made his debut by attacking Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, and Cody Rhodes, the current Undisputed WWE Champion, before Fatu and the Bloodline challenged the trio to a match at Money in the Bank where Fatu showed why he has been so highly touted for quite some time now.

During an episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the veteran spoke highly about Fatu and what he brings to the table.

“I do gotta say, I’m very, very excited Jacob Fatu got to show up in WWE. He’s someone that, since I met him, I’ve loved him. He’s been great. Really excited for him. I think his future is limitless. I think he’s gonna be incredible going forward,” Hardy said.

“First and foremost, he’s just been so respectful towards me and Jeff. Big into The Hardys when he was coming up. He’s just such a down-to-earth, on-the-level guy. Much like most Samoans, really just a cool Uce. Just such a cool cat. He is so insanely talented. He’s a big guy, he can move, he’s strong. He can do it all. I am very, very excited to see him on the WWE plane and see how great he can become. I think his ceiling is extremely, extremely high. I think he’s a guy who can be a leader there. He’s special,” Hardy said.

The Bloodline would go on to defeat Rhodes, Orton, and Owens and Money in the Bank thanks to some help from Tonga Loa who low-blowed Owens to help the trio get the win.
