Fatu's last match for the promotion was on September 15, where he decided Gringo Loco. Fatu won the Reality of Wrestling Championship in WWE Hall of Famer Booker T's promotion back in August. Fatu also holds the House of Glory Crown Jewel Championship. Fatu appeared to be in Cleveland, Ohio ahead of SummerSlam in August, but he was also booked at a GCW show in the area around the same time. Fans speculated Fatu would debut at SummerSlam, as Solo Sikoa took on Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes in a Bloodline Rules match, which saw the return of Roman Reigns. Hikuleo, another Anoa'i family member, is reportedly signed with WWE and has yet to debut, as well. As of this writing, there are no reports that GCW pulling Fatu from shows is any indication he has signed with WWE officially.
