Interestingly, Jacob Fatu, who is coming off a major singles win at the Showcase of the Immortals against the former Undisputed Champion Drew McIntyre at the Granddaddy of Them All, interrupted the OTC’s segment and laid a challenge for him to put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against him at WWE Backlash Premium Live Event, which the latter denied initally.

Heading to the next RAW, on SmackDown, Fatu showcased why he is, by far, the most dangerous family member who has challenged The OTC, as he not only managed to beat Solo Sikoa, but also destroyed his MFT all alone.

On the last edition of the red brand, Reigns and Fatu came face to face, where Tribal Chief straight up denied giving him a shot at his title as if it would have felt like nepotism. However, Jacob wasn’t there to hear a no, losing his cool and grabbing Roman’s throat, putting him through the Togan Death Grip. This infuriated The OTC, who accepted Samoan Werewolf’s challenge and agreed to make his first title defense against him at Backlash.

WWE is now advertising that two will be signing a contract for their match this weekend at Tampa, on tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW. That being said, in this article, we will explore three things Fatu and Reigns could do during their contract signing segment:

#3 Adding a massive stipulation

With only a few weeks in hand, Triple H and his WWE creative crew have done an exceptional job in crafting the Fatu-Reigns saga and piquing fans’ interest in their rivalry.

To further add more thrill to their match, The Tribal Wolf could get General Manager Adam Pearce on board to add a “Tribal Combat” stipulation to their bout at Backlash Premium Live Event, making things more engaging and opening multiple possibilities, adding the potential for The Usos, The MFTs to play a part.

#2 Roman Reigns punishes the former WWE United States Champion

Jacob Fatu made a massive mistake on last week’s Monday Night RAW, where he put his hands on not only the World Heavyweight Champion but also the Tribal Chief of their family. It showcases that he was there to not only strip him of his title but also chase his Tribal Chief position, which makes their match at Backlash more intense.

After they sign the contract for their title bout for the first WWE Premium Live Event after WrestleMania 42, The Original Tribal Chief could destroy The Samoan Werewolf, teaching him a lesson for putting hands on their Tribal Chief and giving him a glimpse of what’s in store at Tampa.

Reigns could put him through the table, sending a strong message and setting an example for other members of his crew that he wasn’t there to play anymore. He is hungry and could go to any extent to save his throne of “Tribal Chief” and keep that gold belt wrapped around his waist.

#1 Unleash The Usos on Fatu

Since the Samoan Werewolf has claimed a challenge for the Roman Reigns’ World Heavyweight Championship, the Usos have been analyzing every step of Jacob Fatu and have been behind him even on Friday Night SmackDown. Despite despite the heat, they are avoiding engaging with him. Maybe, Roman Reigns has asked them to maintain a distance from Fatu.

With Backlash this weekend, the leader of the OG Bloodline faction could bark orders to Jey and Jimmy Uso to punish him just after their contract signing. Fans could witness The Samoan Werewolf landing himself in a massive 3-on-1 handicap situation, marking a perfect cliffhanger for the go-home episode of Monday Night RAW before the Tampa-based Premium Live Event this weekend.

That being said, all the pointers above are speculative, and nothing is confirmed as of now. However, fans could expect some major drama to be pushed on tonight’s edition of WWE’s flagship show, building the hype for the Fatu-Reigns World Heavyweight Champion saga, which would unfold when they would collide with the title up for grabs.

It will be interesting to see what plans Triple H and his WWE creative team have in store for Reigns’s first title defense that to against his own family member in the face of Fatu.
