WrestleMania 41 was full of surprises, but few were as jaw-dropping as Jacob Fatu defeating LA Knight to capture the United States Championship. Adding to the moment, Fatu entered the match wearing a striking Samoan werewolf mask that immediately turned heads—and now, the mastermind behind it has been revealed.

Special effects artist Jason Baker shared that he, along with his talented crew and the WWE creative team, designed the mask for Fatu’s big WrestleMania moment. “Samoan werewolf mask for @jacobfatu_wwe by me and my amazing crew and the WWE creative team for #WrestleMania,” Baker stated.

The mask gave Fatu a fearsome new look that set the tone before the bell even rang. But he did not rely on theatrics alone—he delivered in the ring. The match ended with Fatu hitting a crushing Samoan Drop followed by two picture-perfect moonsaults to seal the win.

This marked Jacob Fatu’s first title victory in WWE and showcased his potential as a major player. With a bold new look and a statement win, Fatu has launched what could be the start of a dominant reign. All eyes are now on how WWE will shape his journey as United States Champion.
