Jacob Fatu Reacts to Fans Who Believe Roman Reigns Will Win at WWE Backlash

Jacob Fatu responds to his naysayers.

The Samoan Werewolf is set for probably the biggest match of his career this weekend, when he takes on Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of WWE Backlash.

With Roman having just won the title last month, fans believe it’s unlikely that he’ll lose it in his maiden defense. Fatu addressed this notion during a recent appearance on the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast.

“He just won if this is the next PLE. So I can understand why people think, ‘Oh, he’s not going to lose; it’s just a match; he’s going to fall in line.’ No, that’s ass. Alright? That’s a*s. So, y’all over here want to tap in? Y’all think y’all know the booking? What y’all think? ‘Oh, Roman Reigns’ first title defense against Jacob, there’s no way Roman’s losing it.’ Man, that’s a*s. Because check this out, of course, y’all going to be watching. Y’all gonna be tapped in. So everybody else complaining online about this and that, I bet you will definitely buy that ESPN app, and I bet you going to be sitting there watching and enjoying the show and not saying a word during the match.”

Jacob Fatu added that he understands why fans think that he won’t win at Backlash, but then added that he has overcome several odds in the past, including landing in WWE when everyone doubted him.

“I can understand why people think I’m not going to win. First PLE, first title defense out of WrestleMania—there’s no way. ‘Hey, check this out; there was no way Jacob was supposed to be here.’ There was no way Jacob was supposed to have a main event PLE, Roman Reigns, right out of WrestleMania. To keep it 100, like I said before, no man ain’t never ran into nobody like me.”
