Jacob Fatu Says He Got 11 Teeth Pulled Out During WWE Absence

Jacob Fatu shares how many teeth he got pulled during his recent absence in WWE.

In October of last year, Fatu was written out of WWE programming through a backstage attack, with the attacker yet to be fully revealed on WWE programming so far. While out of action, Fatu would undergo a dental procedure.

While speaking to Busted Open in a new interview, Jacob Fatu explained that he had eleven teeth pulled.

“I mean, 11 teeth. I was supposed to get 12 teeth. I got 11 teeth pulled out in the back. So got 11 teeth. It was being home, and man, honestly, I remember my uncle Rikishi saying this, ‘when you’re home and something, you know, you, you been out of sight, out of mind, you know, that phone’s gonna stop ringing.’ That phone stopped ringing, you know? It was like, you know, nothing with my family or anything. But once you got seen it with my family, you get calls, need this, need that.”

Elsewhere in another recent interview, Carmelo Hayes recalled how he used to freestyle with Fatu. You can read more about that here.
