Last week on SmackDown, Fatu’s old friend, Royce Keys, hyped him up and encouraged him to take down Roman Reigns. The duo was then attacked by Solo Sikoa and Talla Tonga. In the main event, The Usos faced Sikoa and Talla, but Fatu crashed the match and attacked the MFTs.

Keys’ addition was certainly intriguing, given his history with Fatu. That said, fans could see more stars getting involved in the Jacob Fatu vs. Roman Reigns rivalry. In this listicle, we will look at three possible additions to the Backlash feud.

#3. CM Punk

Instead of looking for a rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship, CM Punk has taken a backseat following WrestleMania 42. The Second City Saint was involved in a heated feud with Roman Reigns leading up to The Show of Shows. Watching him gracefully admit his defeat after such a rivalry proved his sportsmanship, but him not continuing to pursue the title was certainly surprising.

That said, CM Punk could still get involved in the upcoming Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu match at Backlash. The Best in the World could confront both stars separately and announce that he would be waiting for a title match following the Tampa PLE.

This would plant the seeds for a future match and result in two intriguing segments. There is one episode each of RAW and SmackDown before the PLE, where these segments could take place.

#2. LA Knight could get involved in the Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu feud

LA Knight and The Usos were on good terms before the Samoan twins reunited with Roman Reigns. Knight, Jimmy, and Jey even teamed up to defeat The Vision and IShowSpeed at WrestleMania 42. However, The Usos’ alliance with the OTC hasn’t sat well with The Megastar.

A couple of weeks ago, Knight confronted the Samoan twins backstage and tried to remind them of their individual accomplishments that they achieved without Reigns. The Megastar stated that if The Bloodline starts terrorizing WWE again, then it would become his problem.

“You guys sitting at the table again? You sitting at the head of the table? I ain’t here to tell you guys that. As a matter of fact, I wanna remind you exactly who you are. My man Jey Uso, main event, you’re talking about a former World Heavyweight Champion. How did you do that? You did it on your own. Jimmy Uso, all the potential in the world, to be a World Heavyweight Champion, but you know how you gonna do that? Not under Roman Reigns.”

Knight has had his issues with Jacob Fatu as well. The two were involved in a feud over the United States Championship last year that saw The Samoan Werewolf defeat The Megastar at WrestleMania 41. Knight may not like Fatu, but since he is on a mission to stop The Bloodline from regaining their dominance, The Megastar could get involved and back The Samoan Werewolf to win at Backlash.

Moreover, LA Knight has also declared that he wants the World Heavyweight Championship, giving him another reason to get involved in the Fatu vs. Reigns rivalry.

#1. Zilla Fatu

Jacob Fatu vs. Roman Reigns has become a family warfare. The Samoan Werewolf has accused the OTC and The Usos of never checking on him when he was going through a tough time before joining WWE. The Anoa’i family runs deep, and there are more members who have been overlooked by The Bloodline.

Zilla Fatu is one of them. The young star is the son of Umaga, and he has been on an impressive run on the independent circuit. Many are surprised that he hasn’t made it to WWE yet, something that could be used in the storyline. Zilla could finally debut in the global juggernaut and get involved in the Fatu vs. Reigns rivalry.

The 26-year-old could align with The Samoan Werewolf to take down The Bloodline. He may have a similar complaint as Jacob that Reigns and The Usos never bothered to check on him and bring him into WWE despite everyone praising his potential.

Since Reigns has Jimmy and Jey in his corner, Zilla could debut and side with Jacob, making it a Bloodline civil war. The young star’s addition would add more stakes to the feud and give him a perfect stage to mark his arrival into the global juggernaut.
