Jacob Fatu may have an injury going into the match against Drew McIntyre

While the bout is happening and is for the title, thanks to Nick Aldis, it was recently reported that Jacob Fatu is carrying an injury that is not wrestling-related.

Drew McIntyre and Fatu may have a big feud, but it could end prematurely. Apparently, Fatu is dealing with an unspecified injury that might keep him out of action. Not only that, but on top of that, the star could end up missing the rest of the year as well, with him hurt.

In fact, he could end up missing the Royal Rumble as well, where he was predicted to be a huge factor heading into the show.

This match could be the best way to write Fatu off TV while the star recovers from the injury.
