Jacob Fatu has returned to WWE SmackDown, but the identity of the mystery attacker is still unknown. A few months ago, a Samoan werewolf was mysteriously attacked backstage, causing him to step away from television.

Drew McIntyre was one of the prime suspects. This may be why Fatu attacked The Scottish Warrior on the latest episode of the Monday Night Show.

In this article we will take a look at three suspects behind the mysterious attack on Jacob Fatu after his return.

#3. Drew McIntyre

The list starts with the current undisputed WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre. He was scheduled to face Scot Jacob Fatu, with the winner receiving a world title shot.

Moments before this match, Jacob was attacked backstage, resulting in Drew getting a title shot. Afterwards, Nick Aldis accused McIntyre of the attack, but he denied the accusations.

Despite this, the Undisputed WWE Champion is likely the prime suspect in this scenario, especially after Fatu attacked him on SmackDown. McIntyre may have mysteriously attacked Jacob to clear his way against American Nightmare.

#2. Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes is no longer the undisputed champion, but a surprising story may await him on the next episode of SmackDown. It wouldn’t be a huge shock if Jacob Fatu was revealed in The American Nightmare as the mystery attacker.

Over the past few months, we’ve seen major hints about Rhodes becoming a heel. The reason Rhodes would attack Fatu backstage is because it would remove a major contender from his undisputed title.

The Werewolf of Samoa reveals Cody as the mystery man who will shape the heel character arc for the 40-year-old star.

#1. WWE star Randy Orton

Guys, my brain is telling me that Randy Orton was behind the assault on Jacob Fatu but I can’t prove it #SmackDown

The last name on this list is Randy Orton. Two weeks ago, The Legend Killer returned to the blue brand. During the last edition of SmackDown, he participated in a segment with Trick Williams and The Miz.

When Jacob Fatu was attacked backstage, WWE released a list of potential attackers, with Orton’s name on it. This raises the possibility that The Viper will be revealed as the former Bloodline member’s mysterious attacker after his return.

If this happens, a rivalry between Orton and Fatu will begin. Additionally, it will pave the way for the veteran star’s long-awaited villainous transformation.
