Will Jacob Fatu acknowledge Roman Reigns?
After Roman Reigns conquered Jacob Fatu in Tribal Combat to retain the World Heavyweight Title at WWE Clash in Italy, The Samoan Werewolf is now expected to acknowledge The OTC. But will it happen?
:raw:
— The show kicks off with a video recapping the events of Clash in Italy.
— Michael Cole and Corey Graves then greet audiences at home as we see Roman Reigns and The Usos pull up to the Inalpi Arena before making their way out to the ring.
Reigns demands that Turin acknowledge him, and Jey Uso points out that Jacob Fatu is already late. He demands that Fatu come to the ring, and Fatu's music hits as he obliges and makes his way to the ring.
Jey tensely stares down Fatu, but Reigns orders Fatu to look at him and Fatu does as he's told. Fatu says he knew what he was getting into with his Tribal Combat match against Clash in Italy last night, including the consequences and repercussions if he didn't dethrone Reigns as World Heavyweight Champion. He says he's been taking losses his whole life, then says he lost last night in front of the world and his children who saw their father be a man, take a loss, and keep his word.
Fatu says he lost to his "Tribal Chief" last night, but says he didn't lose to Jey and acknowledges Reigns. He kneels down to Reigns and bows his head to him, then extends his hand up to Reigns. Reigns takes it and pulls Fatu up to his feet, but Reigns tells Fatu that while he may not understand it right now, he still loves him.
Jimmy Uso puts everyone in the back on notice and says they're all the twos. He says Reigns, himself, Jimmy, and Fatu are the ones before all four men hold up the One symbol.
