Summary
– Jacob Fatu wins the United States Championship at WrestleMania 41

– LA Knight’s BFT counter wasn’t enough to stop the Samoan Werewolf
WWE’s biggest show of the year delivered another shocking moment when Jacob Fatu defeated LA Knight to win the United States Championship at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.
The hard-hitting contest took place shortly after Jade Cargill’s dominant victory over Naomi, setting the stage for another major title showdown. LA Knight entered Allegiant Stadium with the U.S. Title around his waist, but Jacob Fatu came prepared for war in his first singles match since joining WWE.
The crowd was loud throughout the match, especially after Knight caught Fatu in midair during a moonsault and hit a perfectly timed BFT. The cover nearly won, but Fatu grabbed the bottom rope just in time.
Fatu rebounded, scaling the turnbuckle to land a top-rope Samoan Drop before hitting back-to-back moonsaults to seal the victory. The clean win marked Jacob Fatu’s first WWE title and a major moment in his young WWE career.
