Three potential directions for Roman Reigns on WWE RAW this Monday after Jacob Fatu’s brutal attack

Jacob Fatu launched a brutal attack on Roman Reigns & The Usos last week.

‘The Samoan Werewolf’ Jacob Fatu, during last week’s Monday Night Raw, launched a brutal offensive, refusing to acknowledge ‘The OTC’ Roman Reigns, despite losing the World Heavyweight title match at Backlash 2026 in Tampa.

Fatu not only viciously attacked Reigns but even took out the Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso), who tried to reason with him, rather stood in his way. The attack comes on the heels of Fatu attacking Roman after losing the match at Backlash.

Despite being given a chance to write the wrong with the Tribal Chief, Fatu chose to fight back, and now it’s Roman’s turn to respond. Ahead of the show this Monday, let us take a look at the three possible directions for him on May 18’s WWE Raw.

3. Get Jacob Fatu suspended

Apart from being the current World Heavyweight Champion, Roman Reigns holds a lot of leverage in the WWE. A suspension and even a termination were teased by General Manager Adam Pearce during last week’s Raw.

While Reigns turned down the idea, stating that Pearce can’t fire Fatu until he acknowledges him. However, as Reigna found out, Fatu refused to acknowledge him. Now, Reigns might opt for the alternative, either sending Fatu back to SmackDown or a termination.

2. Revive the Bloodline with the Usos

In his attack, Fatu not only targeted Reigns but also the Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso), who had been on good terms with Fatu and only found themselves in the crosshairs when they tried to reason with him. The attack might turn the Usos against Fatu, and the trio could revive the Bloodline to take down Fatu.W

While this turn would mean a turn for Reigns and the Usos, and if not done right, fans might tune out, the next option is definitely going to bring the fans on board.

1. World Heavyweight title rematch

The attack after the loss at Backlash made it clear that the feud between the two is going to continue. However, the mayhem that Fatu caused last week likely means a rematch, possibly with a dangerous stipulation.

WWE’s upcoming PLE, Clash in Italy, will be the perfect spot for the match as the show marks WWE’s first PLE in the country, and after announcing Cody Rhodes vs Gunther for the Undisputed title, WWE could announce a rematch between Reigns and Fatu for the World Heavyweight title.
