World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star Jacob Fatu was seen bleeding from his mouth with a steel equipment on his top during the latest episode of Smack Down. In a video uploaded by WWE's official handle on X, General Manager Nick Aldis rushed to Fatu's aid and helped with others to lift the equipment off of him.

The moment occurred ahead of Jacob Fatu's bout against Drew McIntyre to determine the No.1 Contender's Match for the Undisputed Championship. With Fatu's music hitting and the 33-year-old not making his way to the ring, the cameras panned to backstage as he was writhing in pain. Aldis quickly rushed to his aid and lifted the heavy equipment off him.
