Jacob Fatu suffered an injury ahead of WWE Clash in Italy. His status for the PLE has finally been confirmed.

The Samoan Werewolf has been going after his Roman Reigns for the past several weeks. Although he challenged The OTC to a World Heavyweight Championship match at Backlash, Fatu failed to capture the title.

Nevertheless, the former United States Champion launched a brutal post-match attack on his fellow real-life Bloodline member, taking out several WWE officials in the process. Reigns and Fatu will now square off again in Tribal Combat for the title at Clash in Italy.

Ahead of the PLE, reports claimed that The Samoan Werewolf had suffered a legitimate injury at a live event. They suggested that the company had been considering alternative plans in case Fatu was not ready for his match against Reigns.

The former United States Champion’s status was confirmed by his appearance tonight on the Clash in Italy Countdown show. He acknowledged the rumors in a chilling final message to The OTC before their Tribal Combat.

You thought I wasn’t coming? Hell, no! Jacob Fatu is live and direct at Clash in Italy. Alright, Roman. I’m gonna put it in the air where it’s fair. Today, it’s Tribal Combat. No rules, no excuses. Ain’t no way in hell you’re walking out tonight with that title around your waist. Roman, Jacob Fatu is the gladiator that will take down the Roman Empire.

Roman Reigns Also Sent Jacob Fatu A Message Before WWE Clash In Italy

Earlier today, Roman Reigns took to social media to also send a final message to Jacob Fatu ahead of their highly anticipated Tribal Combat at Clash in Italy.

The OTC claimed that The Samoan Werewolf would understand that he is everything he says he is after tonight’s square-off.
