Jacob Fatu has commented on training with fellow WWE names Nattie and TJ Wilson at their Dungeon training facility.

A number of notable wrestlers regularly train at The Dungeon, under WWE’s Nattie and TJ Wilson, who pride themselves on maintaining a tough but healthy environment for stars to grow.

In a new video shared by Nattie on Twitter, Jacob Fatu explains how the duo encourage him, while also not giving him “superstar treatment”.

Discussing his training experiences, Jacob Fatu said:

“Man, TJ is just always boosting me up, always just teaching me the right things.

“Also, Nattie man, as soon as I’m up in there, she ain’t giving me the superstar treatment, she ain’t giving me none of that just because I’m on TV. She actually pushes me. It’s something that I need.”

The respect is definitely mutual, with Nattie previously stating that she has loved watching Fatu earn his keep in the Dungeon.

Jacob Fatu has quickly been gaining momentum on WWE TV, notably defeating Drew McIntyre in an Unsanctioned match at WrestleMania 42.

He is now set for the biggest match of his career at Backlash, where he will challenge for Roman Reigns’ World Heavyweight Championship.

While Roman Reigns would be the “safe” choice to leave Florida with the world title, a win over the OTC would establish Fatu as a bonafide main eventer.
