Jacob Fatu Acknowledges Roman Reigns as His Tribal Chief
Monday’s WWE RAW show at the Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy featured Jacob Fatu officially acknowledging Roman Reigns as his “Tribal Chief.”
During the show, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns and The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) came out to the ring. After some soaking in the adoration and chants by the crowd, Reigns told Turin to acknowledge him. Jey responded calling out Fatu for being late and to get out here to acknowledge his Tribal Chief.
This led to Fatu’s music and came out to the ring. Fatu talked about his Tribal Combat match against Reigns at Clash in Italy and how he knew what would happen if he lost the match. Fatu stated he admitted he lost to Roman but didn’t lose to Jey Uso’s punk ass. Fatu then got down on one knee and acknowledged Reigns. Reigns then embraced him an told Fatu that he loved him. Reigns, The Usos, and Fatu then threw up the ones as a group and left together.
