The Miz has offered high praise for Jacob Fatu, comparing the rising star’s energy to that of Jey Uso. Speaking on the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, the multi-time champion explained why he believes Fatu has limitless potential in WWE.
According to The Miz, Fatu’s ceiling is unmatched. “Jacob [Fatu], the world is his oyster. I think he has all the talent to become whatever he wants to be in this business,” he said, adding, “I watch and I see the little intricacies, the little things, the connection with the audience that they all have.”
He specifically likened Fatu’s presence to Jey Uso, whose bond with the crowd is one of the strongest in the company. “You watch Jey [Uso] come out there, the entire arena is erupting, they feel that energy that they have. And I think Jacob has that same energy – when he’s in the ring, I wanna see what he’s going to do next.”
The endorsement comes as Fatu has been absent from WWE programming for more than a month. His last televised match was on the August 15, 2025 edition of SmackDown, where he teamed with Sami Zayn and Jimmy Uso to defeat Solo Sikoa, JC Mateo, and Tonga Loa of The MFT.
