Jacob Fatu could make his return much sooner than expected. According to Mike Johnson, a journalist from PW Insider, the member of the Samoan dynasty is on the verge of returning to the company's storylines. Johnson has confirmed that there were internal discussions during Survivor Series: WarGames about his imminent comeback.

According to the report, the wrestler has been recovering for weeks from a major dental procedure, not related to aesthetics but to a serious medical issue. The operation was delicate enough to justify some time off before stepping back into the ring.

There was backstage talk at Survivor Series that Jacob Fatu is close to returning to WWE storylines after taking time off to recover from a dental procedure.

A source consulted by the media added that Fatu could rejoin the tours in the coming weeks, although there is still no set date. The general feeling is that his return will be sooner rather than later. "A source believes Jacob could be back on the road in a few weeks, but there is no exact confirmed date," they added.

The question is whether WWE will hold him back a little longer before his appearance. The Royal Rumble is approaching and December will be busy with John Cena's farewell. It is likely that the company will decide to wait a little longer for Jacob Fatu's return.
