The two stars will collide in the main event tonight.
‘The OTC’ Roman Reigns is all set to defend the World Heavyweight Championship once again, against Jacob Fatu, this time in a Tribal Combat match. This will be a rematch from their first meeting at Backlash, where Reigns edged out a win to retain the title.
The rematch will headline tonight’s Clash in Italy, WWE’s first Premium Live Event (PLE) in Italy. The historic will emanate tonight, Sunday, May 31, 2026, at the Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy.
Roman Reigns is ready to prove why he’s the ‘OTC’
Roman Reigns, via his X (Twitter) handle, delivered a final warning to Jacob Fatu, stating that after tonight, Fatu will understand that Reigns is everything that everyone says he is.
“You Might Not Like It But After Tonight You Will Understand I Am Everything They Say I Am” Reigns wrote.
With the message, Reigns makes it clear that he is coming for Fatu, who has challenged his status as the ‘Tribal Chief’ of the Bloodline, a title that is also on the line tonight.
Notably, Reigns has been a part of every Tribal Combat match in WWE, and he also remains undefeated in Tribal Combat matches. Add to the fact that Reigns won in their last encounter and is a heavy betting favorite to win tonight.
