Jacob Fatu getting run over by a car on the September 28, 2026 edition of RAW wasn’t just another shocking Bloodline angle. According to a behind-the-scenes report, the entire segment had a very specific goal behind the scenes.
During a recent Q&A session, WrestleVotes was asked why WWE chose to remove Fatu from television in such a dramatic manner. According to the report, the hit-and-run angle was simply designed to get him off television before Money in the Bank, with no long-term absence expected.
“It was a way to get him out of Money in the Bank, kind of like Solo and, I think, the Usos next week. That’s where they’re going.”
WrestleVotes went on to say that fans shouldn’t expect Fatu to be gone for very long. As it stands, it’s expected to return shortly after the premium live event.
“After Money in the Bank, you’ll see the return, so it’s not written off for months or anything like that.”
He also noted that WWE needs to get a little creative as they have already used some of their more over-the-top radiation angles recently, including Solo Sikoa getting kidnapped by the 946 last week.
“You couldn’t kidnap him since that had already been done. You couldn’t set him on fire.”
Fatu’s cancellation occurred in the final moments of the September 28 edition of RAW, when he chased Royce Keys through the parking lot following a wild brawl involving The Bloodline and The 946. Moments later, a black sedan slammed into Fatu before Jaida Parker got out of the vehicle, stood over him and declared, “No one is safe.”
After this week’s episode of RAW concluded, WWE released additional footage showing Fatu being loaded into an ambulance while Jimmy and Jey Uso climbed in to ride with their cousin as the vehicle left the arena.
If this information is accurate, fans won’t have to wait too long to see Fatu back on WWE television. Rather than hinting at a long absence, the angle appears to have simply been WWE’s way of keeping him out of the Money in the Bank picture before bringing him back once the event was over.
