He was essentially screwed out of the world title picture on his road to WrestleMania because of McIntyre. McIntyre even pettily screwed Fatu in his match against Trick Williams last week on SmackDown after Fatu cost him the WWE Title against Cody Rhodes.<\/p>\n<p>After racking up all these losses, Fatu needs to regain momentum by getting revenge on McIntyre for all of those screw-jobs. Besides, McIntyre won&#8217;t even be on SmackDown after Mania.<\/p>\n<h2>Drew McIntyre Has A Movie To Film And Will Be Off Television For the Majority Of The Summer<\/h2>\n<p>In fact, Drew McIntyre is being cast in the upcoming Highlander reboot directed by Chad Stahelski this summer. Henceforth, he has nothing to lose and can lose in an &#8220;I Quit&#8221; Match to get written off television. McIntyre already got his transitional yet chaotically fun WWE Championship run and finished his story.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_145564\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-145564\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-8-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"A WWE SmackDown graphic featuring a Drew McIntyre who quit WWE.\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"wp-image-145564 size-large\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-8-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-8-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-8-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/11\/11-8.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-145564\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: WWE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now, he must put Fatu over so that Fatu can finish his story. But Fatu&#8217;s story is not just about getting revenge against McIntyre. It&#8217;s a lot bigger than that, and it has a lot to do with his major world title aspirations.<\/p>\n<h2>Jacob Fatu Needs A Victory Over A Former World Champion To Elevate Himself To The Main Event Scene<\/h2>\n<p>Fatu already became U.S. Champion in his feud with Solo Sikoa last summer and thereby already graduated from the mid-card. His transition to the main event scene is long overdue. A victory over a former World Champ like McIntyre would open that pathway.<\/p>\n<p><span>Although Fatu suspects Drew kicked his teeth down his throat with the Claymore Kick, the footage will reveal that Orton executed that attack with the Punt Kick. When Orton dethrones Cody, it will be even sweeter when Fatu takes down Orton as revenge for that attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If you\u2019re not down with just that and would like even more WWE PLE Coverage from\u00a0<\/span><a  href=\"https:\/\/letthemwrestle.com\/author\/markjustice\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span>Mark Justice<\/span><\/a><span>, check out more of his articles right here on LWOS and subscribe to his popular YouTube channel by clicking\u00a0<\/span><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@MarkTBKJustice1327\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span>HERE<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The big mystery for months has been: Who attacked Jacob Fatu in October?
