JBL Predicts Fatu’s Victory Over Knight at US Championship Match

STAMFORD, Conn. — As tensions rise ahead of the United States Championship match this weekend, WWE Hall of Famer JBL has made a bold prediction, stating that Fatu will overcome reigning champion LA Knight. The match is set to take place on April 18, 2025.

JBL expressed confidence in Fatu’s potential to seize the title, noting that Knight’s future moves might necessitate a title change. ‘He’s got to get rid of the title at some point, anyway,’ JBL remarked. ‘If he’s gonna move up in that picture, he can’t have the title. You want the title on somebody else so he can start working towards something bigger.’

While acknowledging the honor associated with the United States Championship, JBL implied that higher prestige titles are on the horizon for Knight. ‘There are more important titles in the company, and I believe it’s time for Knight to start competing for one of them,’ he stated.

JBL also offered high praise for Fatu, saying, ‘This freaking guy is unbelievably talented. I would love to have worked with this young man. He is so freaking good. His athleticism — it’s amazing.’

Having shared the ring with many of Fatu’s relatives over the years, JBL envisions a bright future for the wrestler. ‘I predict Fatu could be a future WrestleMania main eventer,’ he added. However, JBL suggested that Fatu might benefit from pairing with a mouthpiece to enhance his abilities further.

In another highlight of the weekend, Rey Mysterio continues to solidify his legendary status in WWE history ahead of WrestleMania 41. The 50-year-old Hall of Famer is set to face Chad Gable, who has been developing his character as El Grande Americano.

Mysterio’s illustrious career spans over 35 years, featuring appearances in promotions worldwide, including New Japan and WCW. He made a momentous impact in WWE, signing in 2002 and crafting a legacy that includes three world title reigns and multiple accolades, including the Intercontinental and United States Championships.

Throughout his WrestleMania history, Mysterio has faced legendary opponents and secured outstanding victories, solidifying his legacy and making history with matches that have varied in style and duration.

Reflecting on his career, JBL remarked on Mysterio’s skills, stating, ‘I think Rey Mysterio is the greatest luchador of all time and without a doubt, I think he is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.’

Mysterio’s WrestleMania history includes poignant moments, like facing Eddie Guerrero in 2005, and achieving championship victories in astonishingly brief matches. He remains an unforgettable figure in the wrestling world as he gears up for another WrestleMania showdown.
