WWE RAW: Jacob Fatu Challenges Roman Reigns For Backlash

Roman Reigns is the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion after defeating CM Punk in the main event of WrestleMania. Now, he has a target on his back already, and it’s from his own blood.

Roman Reigns and The Usos capped off tonight’s Monday Night Raw where Roman Reigns confessed that he misses having The Usos by his side and noted that he doesn’t want them to serve him, he just wants them to stand with him.

“I don’t want that title. I NEED that title. I need EVERYTHING that the tribal chief has!”

Right as Roman and The Usos were about to pose together, Jacob Fatu’s music hit and he made his way out. Roman asked if he was there to acknowledge him, which he said no. He’s here because he needs the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Fatu said he needs everything Roman has. The shoe deals, the cars, the houses, the jewelry, the good schooling for his kids, and he needs that world title at Backlash. Roman Reigns said he wants all of that for him too, but can Fatu handle the burden?

Roman Reigns told Jacob Fatu that he’ll give him one week to really think about it, “little cousin.” Roman and the Usos left, while Fatu watched them go. He has one week to change his mind. Or, we may see Roman versus Jacob at Backlash. While Roman was leaving, he told Jimmy to talk to Fatu.
