Jacob Fatu On WWE Backlash Match: “I’ve Prayed, And Cried For Days Like This.”

Jacob Fatu is set to headline WWE Backlash this Saturday, May 9 against Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in what could end up being Jacob’s first major world title in WWE.

Today, Jacob Fatu joined the ‘Get Up’ show on ESPN, where he spoke on what it means to him to have this headlining match this weekend.

”Man, this is more than everything. I prayed, and I cried for days like this. I’m not only at Backlash, fresh out of WrestleMania, no, I’m going toe-to-toe, head-to-head banging with the best and we’re not talking about professional wrestling, we’re talking about the greatest of all time in sports entertainment and it’s Roman Reigns. And I wouldn’t have it no other way, besides this Saturday at Backlash.”

Jacob Fatu seems ready and willing to get that championship. For two weeks in a row on RAW, Fatu has left Roman Reigns laying. He’s ready for Saturday!
