Jacob Fatu and Roman Reigns are heading for Tribal Combat, with the match between the two set up on this week’s WWE Raw. Monday night’s episode opened with Jacob Fatu coming to the ring as Reigns and Adam Pearce argued in the back. Reigns wanted to call out Fatu and Pearce wanted to fire him, with their conversation cut off when Fatu called Reigns to the ring.

The Usos came out to the ring and Jey wanted to attack, but Jimmy tried talking instead. He said Fatu risked getting fired by attacking management last week and asked what happens to him if he gets let go. Jey tried to sneak attack Fatu but got laid out, and Fatu locked in the Tongan Death Grip on both Usos.

Reigns finally came out and brawled with Fatu, with the numbers advantage ultimately leading to Fatu getting beaten down. Reigns the the Usos made to leave and Pearce was ready to fire Fatu, before the latter called for Tribal Combat. Reigns then said he accepted.
