During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray analyzed the Monday Night Raw segment this week where Jacob Fatu officially acknowledged Roman Reigns. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Bully Ray on Michael Cole Saying Jacob Fatu Had Been ‘Neutered’ by Roman Reigns After His Loss at WWE Clash in Italy
“In the package last night that they played, they got rid of the line about Jacob being neutered. They left in the line about Jacob being domesticated. So, when you’re domesticated, that means you’re trained. You’re now in line, and that’s what we saw from Jacob Fatu last night. Jacob Fatu fell in line. He didn’t fall perfectly in line, because he had some words for Jey Uso… but at the end of the day, that’s what he did.”
On There Being a Lull During the Acknowledgement Ceremony Segment
“There was a lull in the audience. If you go back and listen, there’s a lull, almost like everybody was holding their breath because they thought something was going to happen. Then, Jacob eventually raises up the one. I would take Jacob, and I would have put him right behind Roman Reigns. I would have had that hard camera shoot Roman with Jacob’s face right over one of Roman Reigns’ shoulders, delaying the one in the air, build that up a little build, boom, and then hit the one.”
On How It Appeared the Jacob Fatu Main Eventer Experience Came to an End
“It almost looked like the Jacob experiment has come to an end. He’s now a co-star in the Bloodline. We’ll see what happens. Remember, just a couple of months ago, there was all this discussion about whether Jacob Fatu could be the face of the place and the World Heavyweight Champion. A lot of people said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘No.’ Jacob Fatu will never be what Roman Reigns is. Where he fits into this story moving forward, that remains to be seen.”
