Tom Lawlor has high praise for Jacob Fatu.
Since arriving to WWE in June 2024, Jacob Fatu has cemented himself as a rising star for the company, with many fans believing that he'll be the most successful member of The Bloodline outside of Roman Reigns.
Fatu's star presence was elevated even more at the Royal Rumble, as he tied with Reigns for the most eliminations in the match.
While chatting with Fightful Overbooked for a new interview, Tom Lawlor had nothing but great things to say about Fatu, saying that he deserves every penny that he's earning.
"It’s good to see all of the lessons that I imparted on this gentleman in 2019 finally pay off. He finally listened to my advice and is getting his big shot in the WWE. Jacob Fatu, fantastic. You could see it back then that this guy was going to be a star. It was only a matter of time and there was a time where I was like, ‘Maybe it’s never going to happen. Maybe the timing is not right. Maybe WWE isn’t going to bring him in.’ But they have and I don’t think anybody can look at that and say it hasn’t been successful. You can see that it’s going to be even more successful, the more they give him the ball. I didn’t like losing to him, but the guy is undoubtedly a fantastic talent. I don’t know how much money he’s getting, but I’m sure he deserves every single bit of it. As far as people go, he’s a pretty nice guy to deal with. I’m a big fan of Jacob Fatu."
