As The Bloodline Saga is slowly entering its next phase, the WWE Universe is expecting something huge. The war between ‘Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns and his tribe has had fans monitoring conversations about the MITB event very closely. 

However, one of Reigns’ cousins, Jacob Fatu, recently stole the spotlight from the rest of the family. The wrestler is under scrutiny for actions that negatively affected a non-profit organization.

Jenn Harper, who is the director of development at Jake’s Network of Hope (A non-profit organization) has stepped forward. According to Jenn, they booked Fatu for a charity wrestling event. The wrestler bailed out of the event later, citing a family emergency as the excuse.

Jenn Harper said, “Jacob called and said that there was a family emergency. We gave him the benefit of the doubt. At Jake’s, we are 100% about family and I said, ‘if you can’t make it, that’s fine,”

But what followed the cancellation made Harper concerned. She mentioned that Jacob Fatu is not replying to their calls and is also ignoring the production team that booked him. To make things worse, a significant amount of money is also involved in this issue.

“We rescheduled the flight that he missed originally, and about an hour after that flight took off, we were made aware by him that he wasn’t coming. After that, he ghosted us, he ghosted the production team that puts together the wrestling show, and he ghosted the person that booked him for us,” Harper continued.

According to the report, the organization paid Fatu $1030 for the appearance. They also had to spend somewhere around half that amount for arranging accommodation for him. He is yet to return the money. However, according to Harper, a Samoan family member has promised to make up for Fatu’s actions.
