3 Major Consequences Jacob Fatu Could Face After Attacking Roman Reigns on WWE RAW Episode

Jacob Fatu’s assault on Roman Reigns during WWE RAW has set the stage for high drama ahead of Backlash 2026. The incident could lead to significant repercussions for The Samoan Werewolf. Here are three possible consequences.

Forced to acknowledge Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns has been operating at a different level, defeating CM Punk at WrestleMania and now defending his title against Fatu. If Reigns beats him clean at Backlash, he could demand that his cousin acknowledge him as The Tribal Chief, reinforcing his dominance over the family.

The Usos unleashed against Fatu

The Usos reunited with Reigns after WrestleMania, but they stayed out of the confrontation on RAW. Reigns could order them to attack Fatu for his disrespect, escalating the feud. This could lead to an impromptu match between Fatu and either Jey or Jimmy, with Reigns interfering to intensify the rivalry before Backlash.

Expulsion from the family

The Anoa’i-Fatu lineage is a proud wrestling dynasty, and loyalty to the Tribal Chief is central. By attacking Reigns, Fatu may have crossed a line. Reigns could officially exile him from the family, making their feud more personal and giving the Bloodline storyline a fresh direction heading into Backlash.
