Real reason behind Roman Reigns' Bloodline attacking actor Eric Andre on WWE Raw (June 15, 2026)

Jacob Fatu unleashed a beating on the comedian and actor Eric Andre.

The June 15 edition of WWE Raw emanated from the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. Roman Reigns, along with his newly revived Bloodline, featuring the Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) and Jacob Fatu, kicked off the show.

Reigns welcomed Fatu to the Bloodline, honoring him with a custom Ula Fala, and shot down complaints from the Usos regarding Fatu not following their orders in the absence of Reigns.

After the segment to kick off WWE Raw, the members exited the ring and Reigns embraced Eric Andre, who was sitting in the front row. Andre then greeted Jey, who ignored him, while Jimmy greeted Andre.

Roman Reigns refused to stop Jacob Fatu

However, things took a bad turn for the actor when he tried to get too friendly with Fatu, even touching the Ula Fala. This led to Fatu dragging him over the barricade and onto the floor. The Samoan Werewolf then sent him inside the ring to inflict more damage.

General Manager Adam Pearce, along with security and officials, rushed into the ring to save Andre as Fatu climbed up the ropes for a splash. However, Roman then climbed up the apron, ordering Fatu to back down, before changing his mind and ordering Fatu to go ahead.

After Reigns’ order, Fatu delivered a brutal splash to Andre, and the Bloodline went to leave, when Reigns once again asked Fatu to go back in the ring and deliver a second splash, and Fatu followed through. Andre was seen struggling to breathe as security and officials checked on him and took him backstage for medical evaluation.

The attack was tied to a promotional crossover

According to PWInsider, one reason for the segment including Eric Andre is tied to his role alongside John Cena in the upcoming Netflix comedy Little Brother, which starts streaming on June 26. The report adds that the segment was part of a promotional crossover to promote the movie.

“One of the reasons WWE did the angle with Eric Andre last night is he co-stars with John Cena in the new Netflix comedy Little Brother, which will begin streaming on 6/26:  So, it was a promotional tie-in deal.”
