Jacob Fatu Honors Umaga’s Legacy During WWE RAW at London’s O2 Arena

Jacob Fatu took a moment on Monday’s WWE RAW to pay tribute to his late family member Umaga, delivering a personal nod to the beloved WWE star during the London leg of the show at the O2 Arena.

The gesture came on a significant night for the Anoa’i family overall. Earlier in the broadcast, Jimmy and Jey Uso were shown separately strategizing ahead of their upcoming bouts — Jimmy preparing for a match against LA Knight on RAW, and Jey Uso focused on his clash with Oba Femi scheduled for Night of Champions. It was in that family-driven atmosphere that Fatu made his entrance and offered the tribute to Umaga, who passed away in 2009 and remains one of the most impactful Superstars of his era.

Umaga, born Eddie Fatu, was a cornerstone of WWE’s mid-to-late 2000s programming, earning a reputation as one of the most physically imposing and charismatic performers on the roster. His connection to the broader Anoa’i wrestling dynasty makes moments like Fatu’s tribute resonate deeply with longtime fans of the family’s legacy.

For Jacob Fatu, who has quickly carved out his own identity in WWE since arriving on the main roster, honoring that lineage while continuing to build his own story speaks to how seriously he takes his place in one of professional wrestling’s most storied families. With the Uso brothers both heading into high-profile matches, the Anoa’i name is front and center in WWE programming right now — and Monday night in London made that abundantly clear.
