Jacob Fatu Returns and Destroys Roman Reigns During 8/16 WWE SmackDown

WWE brought a big show to the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida, featuring The Tribal Chief’s return to the venue, much to the delight of fans. His ongoing storyline with Solo Sikoa, following Reigns’ SummerSlam return, continues to make waves, and the two were set for a face-to-face confrontation this week.

Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga stepped into the ring during the closing segment of SmackDown. “OTC” chants echoed from the Orlando crowd. Solo then directed his focus toward someone who needs to acknowledge him—Roman Reigns.

Solo stated that if Roman wants the ula fala back, he’ll have to come out and take it from him. At that moment, Roman Reigns made his entrance, complete with brand-new theme music.

Roman Reigns wasted no time taking out Tama Tonga. As Roman prepared to powerbomb Tama on the outside, Solo attacked him, but Roman quickly gained the upper hand and speared Solo Sikoa. Roman then reclaimed the ula fala, placing it over his head, prompting a huge reaction from the Orlando crowd.

Suddenly, Jacob Fatu jumped Roman Reigns out of nowhere. Despite being in a walking boot, he moved well enough to spoil Roman’s moment and beat down the Original Tribal Chief. Jacob then took the ula fala, with Solo retaining possession of the prize. Then Roman Reigns ate a Shield style powerbomb through the table.

We’ll continue to monitor this story closely for updates. Anything involving Roman Reigns is likely to generate big interest. As WWE moves forward after SummerSlam, even more big events are on the horizon. Only time will tell how the Bloodline saga unfolds when everything is said and done.
