Jacob Fatu Remains Undefeated, Defeats LA Knight to Win United States Championship
WrestleMania 41 saw the continued rise of one of the most dangerous men in professional wrestling. Jacob Fatu—a wrecking ball since the moment he debuted—remained undefeated and captured his first singles title in WWE by defeating fan-favorite LA Knight for the United States Championship.
This wasn’t just a title win. It was a statement of arrival.
The Path of Destruction
Since stepping foot into WWE, Jacob Fatu has been unstoppable. Week after week, he’s bulldozed through the competition with a blend of unrelenting brutality and unexpected agility. He’s been named Wrestlers Digest’s Wrestler of the Month for three consecutive months, and for good reason—no one had pinned him, and no one had come close.
Until LA Knight.
WrestleMania 41: The Match That Nearly Broke Fatu
LA Knight walked into the match with confidence, charisma, and the crowd behind him. He didn’t just want to beat Fatu—he wanted to be the first to hand him a loss. And for a moment, it almost happened.
Midway through the bout, Knight hit an explosive Super BFT—a devastating, elevated version of his signature finisher. The crowd counted along as the referee dropped for the three, but Fatu reached the bottom rope just in time, barely keeping his streak alive.
That was the turning point.
Two Moonsaults, One Champion
From there, Jacob Fatu unleashed a new level of aggression. After grounding Knight with a brutal Samoan Drop, Fatu climbed to the top rope—not once, but twice—delivering back-to-back Super Moonsaults that shook the stadium.
One final cover. One three-count. And just like that, Jacob Fatu was crowned United States Champion.
The Era of Fatu Begins
With this win, Fatu’s record remains perfect. But more than that, he now holds gold—and the United States Championship has a whole new level of danger attached to it.
LA Knight may have come the closest to ending Fatu’s streak, but close doesn’t count. The Samoan Nightmare now holds the title, and the question is no longer if he’ll be stopped…
It’s who would even dare try?
