The Usos React After Jacob Fatu Destroys Roman Reigns During WWE RAW
Jacob Fatu showed his visceral side to Roman Reigns on Monday, prompting a reaction from The Usos.
Reigns reunited with Jey & Jimmy Uso last week, which was the Raw after WrestleMania. The OTC was celebrating winning the World Heavyweight Championship after defeating CM Punk at the Show of Shows.
However, to their surprise, their family member, Jacob Fatu, was also on the show. While Roman initially assumed that he was there to “acknowledge him,” Fatu revealed that he intended to challenge him for his title.
At the time, Reigns brushed it off and told The Usos to talk some sense into him, while saying that he would give him his response in Laredo, Texas.
On April 27, both bloodline members came face-to-face again. The Samoan Werewolf claimed that when he was at the lowest point in life, it was Solo Sikoa who called him, and not Reigns or The Usos.
Reigns took issue with Jacob Fatu’s claim, saying that he was the one who signed off on his hiring because he runs the place. He went on to say that Fatu did not deserve it because he had not earned it.
Feeling vexed by Reigns’ response, the 34-year-old grabbed him by the throat, applying the Tongan Death Grip made famous by Haku.
Later, The Usos took to X to react to their cousin’s actions toward the Original Tribal Chief.
“Samoan death grip”now
Crazy.

Jacob Fatu Vs. Roman Reigns Announced For WWE Backlash
With WrestleMania 42 now in the rearview, WWE is focused on building a card for Backlash, scheduled on May 9 in Tampa, Florida.
Following his assault on him, Roman Reigns grabbed the microphone and accepted Jacob Fatu’s challenge, claiming that he would see him at Backlash. To this, Fatu replied that he didn’t want to wait until Backlash, and he will be back on Raw next week.
There is no question that the storyline between the bloodlike members has legs due to their personal history.
Some fans even believe that their feud could extend beyond Backlash, leading up to another meeting at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, which was announced last week.
On Monday, two other matches were officialized for the May 9 premium live event.
Seth Rollins opened the show in Laredo, Texas, and called out Bron Breakker, who kicked him out of The Vision in October.
After losing to Gunther at WrestleMania, Rollins has an undivided focus on Breakker, who also attacked him last week on Raw. While Rollins won the war of words, beating the younger superstar at Backlash would be a completely different task.
WWE also announced Asuka vs. IYO SKY, a rivalry that has continued for months. SKY faced Becky Lynch on Raw in a Women’s Intercontinental Championship match, but an interference from Asuka cost her the victory.
Their rivalry basically stems from respect, which Asuka believes SKY has lacked since aligning with Rhea Ripley.
