The Original Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, made his monumental return to WWE at the end of SummerSlam 2024. Since his comeback, he has been on a relentless mission to reclaim the sacred Ula Fala, from his former Enforcer, Solo Sikoa, who has declared himself the new Tribal Chief.

On the August 6 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Reigns once again attempted to retrieve the Ula Fala. He unleashed his fury on members of The Bloodline, including Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, while Solo Sikoa narrowly escaped his grasp.

Despite his efforts, Roman Reigns’ plan to reclaim the artifact was thwarted when Jacob Fatu made a shocking return since not being seen after SummerSlam. Fatu ambushed Reigns, delivering a brutal beatdown that left The Head of the Table incapacitated.

The final segment of Friday Night SmackDown concluded with The Bloodline standing tall over Reigns after putting him through a table, solidifying their dominance and Solo Sikoa retaining the Ula Fala.

Will Roman Reigns battle Jacob Fatu in the future?

As mentioned, Jacob Fatu came back to WWE, weeks after a dealing with a reported injury to his leg, and was also spotted wearing a leg brace on SmackDown. He came and launched a vicious assault on Roman Reigns, making it clear that he was not afraid of the magnitude of Roman as one of the biggest stars in the business.

Moreover, a past report stated that Jacob Fatu was purposely kept from interacting with Roman Reigns after his SummerSlam re-emergence. But now, that Fatu and Reigns have met each other inside a WWE ring, there is a huge possibility that a potential showdown could happen between them in the future, as the Bloodline storyline progresses. Furthermore, Jacob Fatu’s relentlessness going up against the dominance of Roman Reigns would be a sight to witness.

With Roman Reigns at war against Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline, it would make sense for Solo to send Jacob Fatu into battle against Reigns to keep his throne in place. Moreover, this ongoing storyline has captivated fans, adding another layer of tension to the power struggle within The Bloodline, with Roman Reigns facing formidable challenges as he seeks to reclaim his position as the true Tribal Chief.
