The OTC accepted Fatu’s challenge, and the match between them has been made official for Backlash. Not many expect Reigns to lose the title this soon, but what if Jacob Fatu brings an ally who could help him defeat The Head of the Table on May 9? In a shocking possibility, Zilla Fatu could make his debut in WWE and help Jacob become the world champion in Tampa.
Jacob and Zilla worked as a tag team on the independent circuit called The Samoan SWAT Team. The Main One has been on an impressive run outside of WWE, and could finally arrive in the global juggernaut. There could be few better ways to debut in the Stamford-based promotion than to interfere in Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu at Backlash.
The OTC has reunited The Bloodline, and the Samoans could once again rule the top of the card in WWE. Jacob Fatu has one goal in mind: to provide a better life to his family. He holds a grudge against Reigns and The Usos for not reaching out while he was going through a tough time.
Zilla Fatu also hasn’t made it to WWE yet, and he could have the same complaint with The Bloodline. Therefore, he could align with Jacob to take down Reigns at Backlash. That said, this scenario is only based on speculation, and nothing has been confirmed.
Jacob Fatu comments on his special entrance at WrestleMania 42
Jacob Fatu defeated Drew McIntyre in a brutal Unsanctioned Match at WrestleMania 42. The Samoan Werewolf received a special entrance showcasing the Samoan culture at The Show of Shows.
On the WrestleMania 42 Post-Show, Fatu opened up about his entrance at ‘Mania. The former United States Champion mentioned that it felt good to represent his culture on a grand stage.
“When they had WrestleMania 40, when Roman and Cody first did it, you know I am still a fan. I cried, it brought tears to my eyes, because I manifested having my own culture, my people, my Polynesian people, to have me out there so I represented for Samoa, Tonga, Hawai’i, Fiji, all of my Polynesian people. It felt really good to have my culture and my heritage there.”
It will be interesting to see if Jacob Fatu can capture his first world title at Backlash. This would be the first time Reigns and Fatu will collide in a singles match. They previously stood opposite each other during the 2024 Men’s WarGames Match.
